HOW FAR INSANITY ISAN EXCUSE.
The Great Question Being Considered By
Eminent Medical Authorities.

New York, March 5.--The growing
probability that the great fight in the
Thaw case will centre about the efforts
of District Attorney Jerome 10 send
the slayer II stamford White To the
asylum for the criminal insane has
caused the eminent medical and legal
authorities 10 probe anew into the
much discussed subject of the crimi-
nal responsibility of the insane.
The question is when shall the plea
of insanity be considered valid in eN-
lenuation of crime?' In answering
this question one of the worlds great
est authorities, DR.. Sachs, has said !:
In the light of the present condition
of psycbiatry. no person shall be con-
sidered guilty of crime if. at the
time the crime was committed, he
was suffering from any form OF mem
tai disease. = New York has pTaeti-
cally made her statute accord to this.
The statute says: NO act done by
a person in a state of insanity can
be punished as an offence In pnr-
suance Of the amended law, Judge
Gildersleeve, in the Appellate Court
OF New York. charged the jury in
the case OF tbs People VS.. Mrs. Lnbi-
maker: IF a reasonable doubt exists
as TO whether the prisoner is sane or
not. she is entitled to the benefit of
the loubt, and to acquittal." Opin-
ions expressed during the past few
weeks make il plain that n majority
of the..mempers of the legal profession
believe that the insanity plea will
save Harry Thaw from conviction for
murder. Few of those who have ex-
pressed an opinion, however, believe
that he will escape punishment.
One of the most prominent members
Of the Medieo-Legal Society of New
York is quoted as follws: The ques-
ton of insanity in its relation to cap
ital crimes is peculiar. There are
those who will maintain with logic
that no person who takes the life of
another is quite in his right mind.
The madness may be but momentary,
but, as they contend, the brain that
devises and executes murder is al
most always sick. To follow such
view to its legitimate conclusion,
however, would be to destroy all
the theories of punishment for capital
crimes. and punishment intended as
much for the protection of the com
munity as for the rebuke of the evil
doer.
ut has been generally redeemed
safer to err on the side of extreme
measures in dealing with criminals
who attack the state or their fellow
beings than to take the risk of jeopar-
dizing the general safety by undue
laixty. Ii is questionable, at best,
in how far insanity can be pleaded
as an excuse for capital crimes. The
man who is right on all points save
the one that nerves his hand to muir
der is a dangerous criminal, at least
in the eyes Of the law, and ii has gen.
orally been thought best for him and
for the community that :he should be
prevented from the possibility of fur
Their harm.

The Grip.

"Before we can sympathize with others
we must have suffered ourselves" No one
can realize the suffering attendant upon an
attack of the grip, unless he has had the
actual experience. There is probably no
disease that causes so much physical ana
mental agony, or which 30 successfully de-
fies medical aid. All danger from the grip,
however, may be avoided by the prompt
use Of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Among the tens OF thousands who have used
this remedy, not one case has ever been re.
ported that has resulted in pneumonia on
that has not recovered. For sale by Field
