presented the court or judge may, IN iu

that the writ issue. the subsequent pro
ceedngs shall be the same as upon TINS

The following new section was pro
posed for the Code Of Civil Procedure:
Section 20l6a. When any person by or 10.
whom an application is made for writ OF
hsoeas corpus is in custody as an insane
person in a state hospital for the insane, Or
state hospital for insane criminals, or stats
hospital for insane convicts, the application
shall not be made until after the conditions
have been fulfilled as required ny sectlon
22a Of the insanity law.
These proposed amendments were not
adopted By the Legislature, and In 1911
the committee, which had been con
tinued, suggested the adoption Of =
statute like the English statute, provid
ing that in the case Of insane persons
charged with crime the jury should bring
in A verdict of guilty. but insane. and
the prisoner should be sentenced TO an
asylum. AS in the case Of the amend
ment 10 the Penal Code suggested in
the 1910 report this would take away
the right Of the writ Of habeas corpus.
Mr.. Leavitt said last night.
The committee was continued again
this year and is still trying TO find
way by which the right of the writ OF
habeas corpus for the criminal insane
can be curtailed.

she was going out shopping, and asked
if she could do anything for her.
Her husband came home at ! o'clock
Saturday morning, and It Is believed
that their fatal quarrel began soon after
his arrival.
Their Meeting in Ostend.
De Brahms was a graduate OF the Ma
tional Conservatory Of Music, IN Paris.
His wife was Pauline van Haitian be-
fore her marriage. noted beauty Of
Paris and Ostend. II was at Ostend ten
years ago that De Brahms met her,
while he was first violinist at the Grand
Casino.
It was love at first sight, but finally
she drifted from him. He came to this
country in 1908. and a year later re-
turned TO Ostend, where he again met
her. She threw over her many admirers
for the talented young musician, who
was then twenty-nne years old. She
was two years younger.
His marriage was opposed by his
mother, and it was not until they were
on ship en- route to this country that
the ceremony was performed by chap
lain on board.
Their life was stormy from the be-
ginning. She was Jealous, unreasonahly
so. He found work at the big hotels and
restaurants in this city. and it was only
last November that she brought about
his severance from the knickerbocker
Hotel, where he was leader. He was
talking TO a woman at a table when she
came in and dragged him away.
Several times when his friend Met
Finger had dinner with De Brahmses at
his home, the wife would fly into a rage
and strike her husband. once she hit
him on the head with a bottle of wine.
Her closest friend in this country. per-
haps, was Mrs. Gressier, but when Mrs.
Gressier once asked her about her family
she shrugged her shoulders and said:
