Mahan May Be Adjudged Insane.

On the docket for the June term OF
Bennington county court, which meets at
Manchester the first Tuesday in the
MONTH the most important of the crlm-
nal cases will be that of Albert Mahan,
the North Bennington man who is charg-
ed with numbering his years old niece.
Superintendent Don d. Grout OF the
state hospital for the insane at Waterbury
and one Of his assistants have made two
visits to Bennington for the purpose OF
examining the prisoner, and another spe-
cialist has been in town in consultation
with DIR. L. B. Daley, the local physician
in charge Mahan has younger brother
who has been an inmate of the asylum
at Brattleboro, and who was returned to
that institution after the crime was com
mitted. ::
His grandfather served sentence IN
the state prison at Windsor for similar
assault committed within quarter OF
mile of the spot where little Ethel Ma,
han was killed. There are also several
other links in the family history which
have been investigated by the officials,
and which tend to show strain OF lnsan-
itv, When the case of Mahan is called 1t
is more than probable that the prosecu-
tion NAV ask that he be sent to the asy,,
mm for observation regarding his mental
condition.
