COURT TO PASS ON SANITY
MAI. ANDRUS' CASE OF INTER
EST TO ARMY MEN.
Justice Anderson Denies War De-
partment's Right to Detain the
officer Without Civil Process.

Army officers throughout the country
will be deeply interested in the opinion
delivered yesterday by Justice Thomas
II. Anderson Of the Supreme Court of the
District of Columbia in overruling a mo-
ton of the district attorney to quash a
writ of habeas corpus in the case of Mai
Frank B. Andrus, C.S.A., retired Maj
Andrus last February was ordered from
Buffalo, n. Y. and upon the request or
his wife. who alleged that he was OF m
sound mind. committed to the Govern
ment Hospital for the Insane by direction
of the Secretary of War.
January IA. 1909, through Attorneys S.
T. Thomas and James b. Horigan. Maj.
AndruS filed in the Supreme Court OF
the District of Columbia a petition for Il
writ of habeas corpus, alleging that he
was not insane and that his detention at
the government asylum was In violation Of
his constitutional rights to personal lib
erty.
Judge Anderson directed the writ to is
sue. and Assistant District Attorney Ad-
kinS. on behalf of the hospital authorities
submitted motion to quash the writ OF
habeaS corpus on the ground that under
the law the court was without jurisdiction
to inquire into the question as TO the
sanity of army officers committed to the
asylum by authority of the Secretary OF
War
1t was contended i'm support OF the gov
ernment's motion that the status OF the
petitioner was different from that of
civilian as by entering the army he
had waived certain civil rights and was
under the jurisdiction of the Secretary OF
War
Attorneys for the petitioner contended
In his behalf that the Secretary of War
and the hospital authorities had no au-
thority to hold Maj. Andrus in custody
when ne was not insane. and that that
question could only be aScertained by
judicial inquiry and the hearing of the
case on its merits.
Justice Anderson in disposing OF the
motion held that while the order Of the
lum as insane was due process of law rs
far as the commitment OF the officer WAS
concerned. the period of his de-
tention was limited by the duration of his
insanity-that is. ne must Of right be dis
charged when cured. The question OF
whether a patient is cured is one for the
court to determine. and not. rontended
by the government. wholly within the dis
creton and opinion of one or two men.
The opinion will result in Maj. Andrus
having his sanity determined by the court.
with or without d jury, and. IL sane, to be
discharged from the asylum.
Had the motion of the government pre-
vailed the War Department would vr-
tually have been recognized as having
power To keep at it's discretion, without
from civil courts. one who
had enlisted in the army and subscribed
to the army regulations in the Govern
ment Hospital for the Insane until tire
War Department or the superintendent,
acting under authority OF the Secretary
of War. might deem such patient cured
of his insanity.
