INSISTS THAT He IS SANE
Declares That he Would Prefer to Take
His Medicine on Charge to Being De
clared Insane BY court-Asks Help
From Examining Physicians Tuesday.


Thursday on charges OF sending OBJ
scene matter through the mails is back
in Kenosha and he is now awaiting a
formal court examination into his men
tai condition. DR.. Munroe was taken
before Court Commissioner Bloodgood
Ia Milwaukee just after noon Tues
day and on the motion of District At
torney Guy D. Golf, was released on
recognizance bond. lie had been
fully advised as to the course Of the
government and expected to come to
Kenosha and was at once placed under
arrest pending the examination. He
is being held at the county jail and
has made no effort to secure bail.
DR.. Munroe appeared to be in the
best Of spirits after his return to Ke-
nosha and he greeted his friends at
the Jail in manner that indicated that
he was fully in control of his mental
faculties. Doctors G. F. Adams Of the
Pennoyer Sanitarium and f. E. Andre
were named to examine their fellow
worker and they held aelong examina-
tlon of him at the jail on Tuesday af-
ternoon and at the close of the ex-
animation they declared that they
| would want more time to complete
the examination and before any report
is made to the court they will insist on
having some of the letters and post
cards which were responsible for the
arrest Of Munroe. The accused doctor
! greeted the physicians in a very
friendly manner and when they had
started the examination one of his
| first remarks was, CHOW boys if you
don It find by your examination that ]
am insane without question of a
doubt don t strain the report any with
a view of helping me. | would rather
go back to Milwaukee and take my
medicine there than to be declared in

after the first warning, but I didn t
and that is all there is. to it"
The doctor appeared to be very
emotional during the examination, but
after it was over the physicians ex.
pressed doubts as to whether or not
they had found anything that would
warrant a finding of insanity. The
hearing was to have been continued
before Judge Taylor in the county
court this morning but the physicians
are far from being ready to make
their report and it is probable that
nothing will be done in the case fol-
several days. Munroe declared that
he would make personal contest
against any effort to have him declar.

nit to the physicians that he had been
q free user of beer, but insisted that
he had taken ne~other kind of stimu
lants. He seemed to belentirely "a.

own condition. Should the physicians
fail to find that he is mentally incom.
Eetent the doctor will be taken back
to Milwaukee and placed on trial on
the charges preferred against him by
the postoffice inspectors.
Considerable interest has been tax.

field over which Munroe worked and

whom the letters and post cards have
been sent have insisted that the doctor
be taken care of to such an extent
