Are Not Available.
PROBLEM PERPLEXES
COMMISSIONER DAVIS
Four Demented Prisoners Now on
Her Hands Because InStitu-
lions Won't Take Them.

Katharine B. Davis. Commissioner OF
the disposition OF convicted criminals
under her care who have been adtudged
insane. AS she put it yesterday: II am
between the devil and the deep blue sea"
Men and women who have been convict
cd of any offence, no matter how trivial,
will not be accepted at the Manhattan
State Hospital or other so-called civil
institutions for the insane" There are
only two places open for such persons.
one is the state Hospital for the Grim
inal Insane at Matteawan and the other
is the similar institution at Dannemora.
The Dannemora State Hospital is used
almost exclusively for patients who have
been adjudged insane after commitment
TO Sing Sing, Auburn or Dannemora. 1t
is always crowded to capacity. The
Matteawan hospital, 10 which city prison
ers are ordinarily sent is full TO overflow
ing. A woman sent there from the peni-
tertiary last week was received under
protest. and Is the last that can be re-
ceived for months.
Commissioner Davis has been informed
that Matteawan already has at least 500
more than its authorized number OF In
mates. The place is so crowded that cots
have been placed in the corridors.
1t was after receiving this notification
that she tried to have some of her charges,
who had been adjudged insane, committed
TO the Manhattan State Hospital or to
Wards Island. ]. B. Hanify, secretary or
the State Hospital Commission, at Al
bany wrote her that even though the IN
stitution for the criminal insane were
overcrowded convicted persons could not
be received at state hospitals under the
law. He inclosed an opinion to that ef-
feet by the Attorney General. who pointed
out that the methods of commitment pre-
scribed by law were entirely different,
and that while inmates Of institutions for
the criminal insane were supported by the
state. patients at other state hospitals
paid their own way whenever possible.
John B. Riley, Superintendent of State
Prisons, when appealed to, replied that
ne thought the only remedy was to have
prisoners examined carefully before being
brought to trial Before their conviction
they are eligible for admission to ordinary
state hospitals.
Burdette G. Lewis, Deputy Commls-
sioner Of Correction, said there were two
possible solutions One was increased
facilities at Matteawan, and the other
state farm for Predetermined male de
linquents. A commission to consider the
purchase of such farm has been au-
thorzed. but not appointed.
At present, two prisoners who have been
adjudged insane are being held IN the
workhouse and two in the pententiary'
because there are no accommodations for
them at Matteawan.
