The Municipal officers held hearing
March Sd on the case of Ernest Richards,
alleged to be insane. Two witnesses testi-
fed to acts on the part of Richards tending
to show that he was not in his right mind
acts that were annoying to his neighbors
and to all who had occasion to pass along
the street near where he committed them.
Drs. E. L. Stevens and r. R. Tibbetts testi.
fed that they had examined Richards and
considered that his mental condition was
such that his own safety and the interests
of the public demanded that he be placed
under restraint. The parents of Richards
put in defense. claiming that from the
position of the witnesses as testified il
would be impossible to see into the place
where the unlawful acts were said to have
been committed. The young man, how
ever, acknowledged that he did everything
charged by the witnesses, that he knew it
to be wrong, but could not help himself.
The municipal officers considered him in
sane and ordered him returned to the In
sane Hospital in Augusta, from which he
was released on probation short time ago.
City Marshal Mcdonald took him to Au.
gusta Friday.
