ing this question one of the worlds
greatest authorities, DR.. Sache, has
said: I'm the light Of the present
condition Of psychiatry, no person
shall be considered guilty of crime if,
at the time the crime was committed,
he was suffering from any form OF
mental disease" New York has prac-
tically made her statute accord to this.
The statute says: NO act done by
a person in state of insanity can
be punished as an offense" In pur-
suance of the amended law, Judge
Gildersleeve, in the Appellate court
of New York, charged the jury in the
case of the people VS.. Mrs. Lubinaker:
IF a reasonable doubt exists as to
whether the prisoner is sane or not,
she is entitled to the benefit of the
doubt, and to acquittal."
Opinions expressed during the past
few weeks make it plain that ma
jority of the members of the legal pro-
fession believe that the insanity plea
will save Harry Thaw from conviction
for murder. Few of those have eX-
pressed an opinion, however, believe
that he will escape punishment.
One of the most prominent members
Of the Medico-Legal society of New
York is quoted as follows: The
question of insanity in its relation to
capital 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 de-
vises and executes murder is almost
always sick. To follow such view
to it's legitimate conclusion, however,
would be to destroy all the theories
of punishment for capital crimes,
and punishment is intended as much
for the protection of the community
as for the rebuke of the evil-doer.
sit 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 jeop-
ardizing the general safety by undue
laxity. It 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 it has gen.
orally been thought best for him and
for the community that he should be
prevented from the possibility of fur

said Justice Fitzgerald, II will as
sumo that You do not know of any,"
The spectators were thrilled into alb
solute silence during the tense NOM
ents of so extraordinary a debate be-
tween judge and district attorney.
MIR. Jerome's manner OF addressing
the court was as defiant as his words.
Justice Fitzgerald seemed to retain
his judicial calm only with great eff
fort.
The point under discussion was as
to whether or not the district attorney
on cross-examination could take a
wider scope than was permitted coun-
sci for the defense on direct examina-
ton. Justice Fitzgerald finally sus-
tanned the position taken by the de-
tense. %
During the debate, Delmas charac-
terized Jerome's remarks as "offen-
sive." and said they tended to lower
the standards and dignity of the court.
Justice Fitzgerald interposed at this
point. Jerome took occasion to de-
clare that the legal assumption be-
fore the court is that Thaw is now
insane. He said the defendant has
been shown to have been insane on
June rs last and it is the assumption
of the law that he continues in that
condition until shown to be otherwise

the Philippine problem, comes forth
with the interesting and novel sug-
gestion that the United States should
take two permanent coaling stations

jointly guarantee the territorial in

been granted independence.

HOW FAR INSANITY IS an EXCUSE

The growing probability that the
great fight in the Thaw case will CEN
tire about the efforts Of District At
torney Jerome to send the slayer of
Stanford White to the asylum for the
criminal insane has caused the emf
nent medical and legal authorities to
probe anew into the much-discussed
subject of the criminal responsibility
of the insane.
The question is: when shall the
plea of insanity be considered valid
In excavation of crime?" In answer

in the correspondence seized in the
papal nunciature here after the ex-
pulsion of Mgr. A1ontagnini. secretary
of the nuciature and published in the
Messi Dor yesterday, only pertain to
documents used in the prosecution of
the Abbe Jouin. Further publications
arc expected shortly.
The diplomatic archives of the nun
ciature previous to the rupture be-
tween France and the Vatican were
turned over this afternoon by Mr..
Gavarry to Chancellor Hidveg of the
Austro-Hungarian embassy by whom
they will be placed in the hands of
NJ. Boyer, cousel for Mgr. Montagnini,
who will forward them to Rome or to
Brussels. No official verification of
the documents was made, the Austrian
official saying that his government de-
clined to assume any responsibility in
the matter and was simply acting as
an intermediary for the return of the
documents to the church.
