The elder Mr.. Yarns then sought the
advice Of DR.. H. O. Noble, Of Waymart.
and at'his suggestion the young man
was brought tn Honesdale on Friday,
with view to the execution OF the pa
pers necessary to secure his admission
to an insane asylum. He was taken
before the justice. but some question
arising as to the legal course OF proceed
ure 10 such cases, no formal complaint
was made; but, on the personal state
ments of the parties interested. ne was
sent to the county Jail for restraint and
safe keeping On Monday morning DR..
Noble and poormaster W. W. Hopkins,
With the father of the young man, came
to Honeedale expecting to secure his
immediate release and removal to an in
sane hospital on the certificates OF two
physicians and the concurrence OF the
Clinton township poor board. Their
application was denied, however, the
sheriff being instructed by counsel that
nothing further could be done until the
return TO town Of Judge Purdy, and the
action of q committee de lundticO IN

is vigorously contested by Dr.. Noble
and others interested In the case, who
contend that tho young man, not being
charged with any criminal offense, can
not lawfully be confined in the county
jail merely because OF a disordered mind,
ESut should be sent to an institution
where he can be properly treated.
