WOULD EXTRADITE INSANE.
Assemblyman Phillips Proposed X
Amend New York LAVE.

ALBANY, March 7-Assemblyman
Cyrus w. Phillips of Rochester thinks
a good way for New York to induce
other states to strengthen their law
regarding the extradition of insane per-
sons is to amend its own.
That is why with the Thaw case in
mind, he today proposed in a resolu-
ton that four new sections. to deal
solely with the cases of escaped insane
persons, be inserted in the New York
state criminal code. Should these sec
lions be adopted. the governor would
have the right to deliver any escaped
insane person to the authorities of an
other state.
