CARROLL AGAIN IN COURT
CHARLESTON MAN ORDERED TO
STATE HOSPITAL FOR INSANE.
Time Spent in Asylum Will Not be
Deducted from His Former
Sentence.

In the supreme court Monday an
order was issued transferring J. +.
Carroll from the Charleston jail to
the State Hospital for the Insane al
ter the necessary papers have been
prepared by the probate judge. The
order was issued as result OF ex-
hibits made by his wife, Mrs. Ellie
G.. Carroll. Carroll, it will be re-
called, was before the supreme court
several weeks ago, charged with
contempt, it being shown that ne
had violated previous order FORBID
ding the sale of whiskey in Charles
ton after an Injunction had been
served on him. He was brought
back from Jacksonville and released
on bail of $1,000 until the Novem-
Der term of court, when he appear
ed. The sentence of the court was
a fine of $500 and six months in jail
or if the fine be not paid, a sentence
of IL months in Jail.
The order issued yesterday, how
ever, has some provisions attached
that would be interesting to Carroll
should he be feigning insanity. 1t
also contains suggestions for those
who suffer from brainstormo. 1t
says that should the authorities at
the State Hospital for the Insane
find at any time that Carroll has re-
covered his sanity the sheriff OF
Charleston shall be notified and
shall take him back to the county
Jail, there to serve out his sentence,
the time spent in the State Hospital
for the Insane not to be deducted.
