INSANE MEN bly, LIQUOR
Attorney General Owen Renders
Opinion in Recent Case at
State Hospital.

Madison.-In an opinion to DR..
Frank l. Drake, superintendent of
the state hospital at Mendoza, Atty
Gen. Owen says that he finds no stat
ute which makes it unlawful for a
saloonkeeper to sell liquor to an in
sane person. ''If it is thought we'll
to have such law" the attorney
general says, ''the attention of the
governor and legislature should be
called to the matter"
1t appears that recently two pa
tents from the Mendoza asylum,
who had been given liberty about the
grounds, went to saloon two miles
away, purchased liquor and returned
to the hospital in more or less in
toxicated condition. Atty.-Gen. Owen
points out that it is unlawful for any
person to sell or give away any in
toxicating liquor within one mile of
either of the hospitals for the in
sane, but in the present instance the
sale was made at saloon two miles
away.
