LEXINGTON Ky, January 4.-Col.
Jack" p. Chinn. kentucky's most
famous fox hunter, turfman and states
man. who Will represent Mercer county
in the lower house OF the Legislature
which convenes next Tuesday, has pre-
pared bill which he will introduce
prescribing new kind of punishment
for the "pistol-toters."
He says that seven out of every ten
men charged with murder plead emo
tional insanity, and that he will have
q law enacted placing persons carry
ing pistols in an insane asylum for
q short term, to be SO confined that
they will be compelled to listen day
and night to the rawlings of the most
violent patients in the institutions.
He framed this law on the theory, he
says, that as most of the murderers
plead insanity at their trial they must
be presumed to be crazy when they
buckle on their armor
Colonel Chinn says he has been
forced most of his life to carry arms
for protection against the crazy. and
that hundreds of others do so for the
same reason, but the proposed law will
not only prevent the carrying OF fire
arms by would-be murdercrs. but will
relieve him and his kind from having
to go about like human arsenals.
Colonel Chinn will also Introduce
a bill making 1t a misdemeanor for
a preacher to discuss politics In the
pulpit.
