TANGLE STILL UNRAYELED.
Mixup Results From Attempts to
Straighten Out Insane Commit

mentS.
BENNINGTON, Dec. 13.-One atte mpt
to unravel the tangle created by the
recent decision of the Supreme
Court making necessary the commit
ment OF patients at the State Insane
Asylum ha sapaprently only served
to complicate the situation. In the
probate district comprising the towns
in the southern half of Bennington
county, the necessary citations had
been prepared in the recommiting
process and the date for hearings
had been fixed, when the proceedings
were held up to await instructions
from the attorney general in order
that the same course might be taken
in all cases.
In the meantime the overseer of
the poor in the smaller towns of the
county have received from Superin-
tendent Z. E. Lawton of the asylum
at Brattleboro, to which all patients
form this p 'bate district have been
committed, blanSs designating two
Brattleboro physicians for the pur-
pose of making the examinations of
patients.
Attorney General f. G. Sargent, of
Ludlow, who has been here in con-
nection with the State cases before
the December term of county court,
has declared the proceedings to be
entirely irregular and out of confor-
nifty with the Supreme Court decis-
ion.
The probate judge here has not
and will not sign any of the blanks.
since neither the statute or the SUI
preme Court decision empowers him
to take any such course. The selec-
ton of the physicians for the exam
