BILL To REDUCE
INSANITY PLEA

r c H NJ N d. VA.-Special.-
senator Howell G. Featherston. Of
campbell. has prepared a bill which
VIII affect the insanity dodge" in
criminal cases. Discussing the meas
ure today, Senator Featherston said:
1t is hoped that the provisions of
TINS bill will go a long way towards
eliminating the acQuittal OF promi-
nent criminals on shady and doubtful
pleas Of insanity. The bill will re-
Quire special plea Of insanity in all
cases where insanity is to be relied
on as a defense.
II has heretofore been the custom
IN criminal practice to rely on prov
| ing insanity by evidence introduced
at the trial Of a case on the general
plea of not guilty. thus often confus-
ing the minds of the jury. The object
of the bill is to make wholly senal
rate the pleas of insanity and not gull
", and TO permit no evidence tending
10 SOW insanity to be introduced un-
der plea of not guilty.
Provision has already been made
Tor the confinement of the criminal in
sane at Marion, and wnen q prisoner
is shown to be insane he should be
son confined. 1t is a great mistake.
however, To permit various criminals
TO he turned loose merely because on
the trial Of the case on it's merits a
shadow of doubt is produced on the
minds Of the jury as to whether or
not the accused is insane.
This bill will further provide that
when on trial, under the pela OF not
guilty, the accused shall be presumed
TO he of sound mind.
Il have consulted with some of the
best legal talent in the State regard
ing til : measure. and believe that il
will do much towards eradicating
what has been serious evil i'm the
criminal practice in Virginia"
