NEWSPAPER MAN
 SHOWS UP ALIENISTS

DES MONIES, la, May 23.-A local newspaper man conceived the idea of testing the theory that any bright criminal could prove himself insane and thus escape punishment for his crimes. John Duncan, a reporter, was adjudged insane by a committee of alienists which ruled he was a dan- gerous lunatic and remanded him to the State hospital.
 The paper employing him has now made application to have him declar- ed sane. The members of the com- mitte were not advised of the hoax until it came out in the paper and now they are much peeved over it.
 The joke may yet be on the repor- ter, as members of the commission declare he will have to remain in the asylum as they will not declare him sane.
