LAW AS TO INSANITY
EXPOUNDED BY JUDGE
Mental Weakness Resulting from Continual Deb
Use of Drugs May Cause Mitigation Punishment of
Offender But Does Not Crime

Evidence of mere moral depravfty
or of mind diseased or Weakened
by the imrnoderate use of ardent
in mitigation of crime. that Is IN
mitigation Of the punishment pre-
scribed by law, but does not excuse
the crime.
The burden is upon the Commons
wealth to prove the crime charged bee4
yUnd a reasonable doubt, and Ii the
defense be insanity on the part of the
accused, then the burden shifts and
the accused must prove insanity To
the satisfaction of the jury.
In the jury believes from the evtS
dence in this case that +. c. Thornton,
the accused. at the time the act
charged was committed, was addicted
to the use OF morphine or other drug
or intoxicant to the extent that NJ
had become insane, incapable of form
ing q criminal intent, and did not
know the difference between right ana
wrong. then you must acquit him, but
II you believe from the evidence that
he was and had been addicted to the
habit mentioned above, and In consG~
Quence thereof had become lax and
careless in his business and indifferent
towards his family, and had been seen
to be asleep in his office and In
church. and to have delusions at tffneay
and had In fact become n moral de-
generate, but was Capable of forming
criminal intent and OF distinguishing
between right and wrong. then II you
likewise believe from the evidences
that he committed the crime charged
in the Indictment beyond a reasonable
doubt, you must convict him.
The court instructs the jury. that
the defense OF insanity having been
interposed by the testimony In behalf
Of the accused In this case, II they
should acquit him by reason OF hin
being insane, their verdict shall state
the fact in accordance with section
4o35 OF the Code OF Virginia"
The jury disagreed.

FIRED PISTOL WHILE
CHILDREN WERE. NEAR

The police received a cali from
Twenty-first and L streets shortly
after 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon,
the person teiephoning saying that
man was wild In the street and was
firing into crowds OF little children.
Officers Chatterson, Matt, Atkinson,
Smith and Werner hurried to the
scene on their bicycles and found
Dooley almost raving. He declared
that he wanted to kill some frogs.
They were all about him. SO he
thought, and he was doing his best
10 exterminate them by shooting their
heads off. Children were scampering
to their homes and grown people
were barring their doors.
Seeing the officers approaching, the
man placed the reYolXer In his packet,
and this constituted the concealed
weapon charge that was preferred
agains. him. His only excuse Is that
he had been drinking. and this ex-
cuse does not hold in any court, and
is always a very lame one when pre-
scented to Justice Crutehfield.
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1910-05-25

Especial to The Richmond Virginian.)
EISViLLE, VA, May 25.--ln in
structing the jury in the case of r. G.
Thornton, a bank ofncial accused Of
accepting deposits when he knew his
institution to be insolvent, Judge
Hundley gave the jury the following
instructions in reference to the in
sanity plea presented by the accused:
The court instructs the jury that,
one who Is SO insane from disease or
defect of mind as to be incapable of
entertaining criminal intent of
distinguishing between right ana
wrong. either generally or with re-
spect to the particular act cannot be
guilty of a crime, but mere mental
depravity or moral insanity which re-
suits not from disease OF the mind,
but from a prevented condition of
the moral system. does not exempt
one from responsibility for crimes
committed under it's influence. and to
render insanity effective as q defense
IL must appear that the accused was
insane at the time of commission of
the act, and not merely prior or sub
seauent thereto.
voluntary intoxication, either from
use OF ardent spirits or drugs, does
not exempt one from criminal respon-
sibility, and all such intoxication is
voluntary, except when one is com
PEELED to drink against his will or
through fraud or stratagem, or by
taking the intoxicant by prescription
Of It physician.
IF a person commits crime whilst
under the influence of morphine or
other drugs, his responsibility Is the
same as that Of person under the
influence of Intoxicating liquors, and
persons who persist IN the voluntary
use and habit of taking alcoholic
drink. or drugs even to the extent that
the mind and nature become diseased.
depraved and abnormal permanently,
but not to the extent OF dethrone-
ment of the reason, are not entitled
to the same immunity from punish
rnent as those bereft of reason by the
act OF God.
