TO GO TO ASYLUM.
George w. Duncan, Wife Slayer, to Be
Held for Observation.

Rutland, Oct, 3l.-That George w
Duncan will not be allowed his freedom
until he has been in the state ASYLUM
at Waterbury for observation by experts
was announced in chambers Yesterday
| by Judge Fred M. Butler. No objection
was offered by Duncan's counsel, Attor-
neys j. C. Jones and Il. H. O'Brien. and
| it is probable he will go to the institu-
tion within few days. Later it is like
ly there will be hearing to determine
the condition of the mans mind States
Attorney c. V. Poulin appeared for the
state.
Duncan shot his wife on the night of
August at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Edward Dezero on Library avenue. The
woman died the following night. Two
weeks ago after trial in the county
court, Duncan was found not guilty of
murder by reason of insanity at the time
of the shooting,
Yesterday afternoon Judge Butler
called the attorneys in the case into his
chambers at the county court house and
said, in part:
"We feel that Mr.. Duncan should not
be allowed his liberty until he has been
under observation OF somn state experts
who will determine the present status
of his mind. According to our under
standing, the jury returned verdict of
not guilty by reason Of insanity at the
time of the shooting and we shall not
permit him to be at large until satisfied
that this condition of the mind will not
return.
"We clearly instructed the jury that
irresistible impulse or emotional insan-
ity alone was not an excuse for the JUS
tifcation of crime unless it was the prod.
uct of diseased mind. Now, then, either
the jury followed instructions and found
that this mans mind was diseased at the
time of the shooting, or else the jury
went contrary to instructions and the
verdict should be set aside We have,
therefore, decided not to release Duncan
without an examination"

meeting to have the celebration in charge
and plan a program worthy of the occa-
sion.
"These are certainly great days for
Goddard but there are still greater days
to come. We must not say, The school
is large enough now and we will turn
students away in the future Such a
policy would be contrary to all our tradi-
tions. From the very first the school has
attempted to serve the boys and girls
from families of moderate means who
wanted to come here. Through all these
years we have kept prices down and to-
day most of our students are paying only
81 week for board, room, heat, light
and washing. The donors to our perma-
nent fund have given because we were
attempting to serve this class of boys
and girls. To limit our numbers now,
to refuse to provide more dormitories Is,
| believe, breaking faith with those noble
men and women who have worked and
sacrificed and given, that the Goddard of
to-day might become a reality.
GAS soon as we limit our numbers we
change our policy completely and notify
our constituency and the public that the
Goddard of the next 80 years is going to
be different institution from the one
they have loved and served. There will
then be no argument against raising
prices, and we shall soon follow the 9th
err private schools of New England. The
children from wealthy families must be
sought. Our constituency will change.
The peculiar service which Goddard has
tried to give and which has been such
source of pride to so many of us will be
a thing of the past. Gentlemen, do You
want this? Think seriously on these
things.
