JENNIE BURcH TO BE FREED.
Noted Child Poisoner Is Declared to
Be Sane

MATTEAWAN. N. Y September o.
Jennie Ruth Burch, the fifteen-year-old
nursegirl. who year ago yesterday killed
with poison the wo-year-old son of Her
bert Winship. well-to-do farmer of rut-
nam county, has been declared sane by the
officiais of the state asylum here, nd is
about to be set free
Supt. Lamb of the institution has declared
that the girl was sane. so far as he and
his colleagues could judge when she was
first received here, the order Of the su-
preme court at Carmel, after her acquittal
of the charge Of murder and she has re-
manned sane ever s.nce-thiS, notwith-
standing her hystercal outbreak at the II. al
in March last, when the jury pronounced
her insane.
Continuing adolescent emotional insan-
ity' was the high-sounding phrase used to
characterize to the jury her mental condi-
ton at that time. Just what that means
nobody has since been able to figure out
Supt. Lamb was asked If Jennie Burch
was likely to harm any one after her re-
lease from the asylum. Il think not he
said. Certainly not, so far as We are abe
to judge. based on our observation of the
girl. She is certainly no more likely to do
harm now than at any later period of her
life
If released it is considered unlikely that
the charge of arson will ever be pressed
against the Burch girl. Some little time
before she administered poison to the child
she set fire to big double barn the
Winship farm Her excuse for that was
she had merely wanted to see II wet hay
would burn. After she killed her little
charge she attempted her own life with the
same poison She could be tried for that.
but 1t is said to be improbable that any
such step will be taken
