COURT SAYS
LANG IS SANE
Justice Parker Hands Down a
Decision Affirming JudsmsntOf
the Jury in the Case.
NAY MAKE ANOTHER APPEAL
Special to the EVENING NEWS.

Trenton, Nov. 9:-Justice Parker.
sitting In the supreme court this
morning handed down an opinion in
the Frederick Lang case holding that
the alleged murderer is sane This
means that he must be executed un-
less an appeal is taken.
The decision afirms the judgment
of the jury in the Middlesex county
court which heard an argument in
the case recently and declared the
prisoner sane. Alan H. Strong, at
torney for Lang, then appealed to
the supreme court The decision
handed down today may now be TAX
en- to the court Of errors and appeals
and II the decision is again against
Lang, only the court of pardons can
prevent him being hung.
Lang cannot be electrocuted be-
cause his case was tried before the
law changing the method of capital
punishment went into effect.
Justice Parker, in his opinion.
says in part:
"Conceding for certain purposes
that the evidence before the jury
was such that they must have found
a verdict Of insanity In the case of a
lawful citizen, we cannot agree that
the legislature intended the same
test of insanity to be made the
ground of execution indefinitely In a
case like the present. 1t is, of course,
entirely proper that a lawful citizen
or one accused Of crime, awaiting
trial or convicted Of crime, who is
mentally deranged, should be trans
ferred to an asylum for treatment.
But the case of murderer is differ
ent. His life is forfeited and we are
not willing to adopt the view that in
cases where the law has decreed that
murderer should be put to death,
and jury has found that he is con-
scious of having committed a crime,
that he should escape just punish
ment."
