There seems to be little doubt among
the police and the prosecuting officers
that Mayor MITCHEL's assailant is de-
mented. Their present plan Is to have
him arraigned on his indictment. in.
quire Into his sanity and commit him
to the hospital for the criminal insane
at Matteawan.
What then? II the precedent es-
tablished I'm the case OF a notorious
murderer now at large Is upheld In the
United States Supreme Court. this de-
fective may one day, through bribery
or cunning. walk through the gateway
OF the hospital, step into motor car.
ride to the State line, and be entirely
free from restraint until such time as
his murderous instincts bring him again
into the hands Of the authorities.
1t may be said that Mayor Mitchell
assailant Is so old. SO weak, so near
the grave. as to make his escape highly
Improbable. and further misconduct on
his part impossible; that he lacks
means for bribery. and that onjectures
rs to his Guiding his guards are purely
fanciful. He is not weaker this morn
ing than he was at noon on Friday:
Mayor Mitchell himself has harbore,l
the suspicion that the man was not
without accomplices.
Admitting that the Mayors assail-
ant. once locked up I'm Matteawan. Is
unlikely to get out. or once out is in
capable Of doing serious damage, the
case against the law remains unim-
paired. II insane persons of criminal
tendency. committed to the asylums of
the State. cannot be recovered by the
law IL they escape, that law invites the
most serious dangers to the persons 1t
Is designed to protect.
