JURY DECLARES
FRAZIER INSANE,
OUT SHORT TIME
Man Tried for Murder
To Be Sent to
Asylum

Levi Frazier, colored, charged
with the murder of his brother-in-
law, Robert Mays, at Imperial on
September 4, 1924, was found not
guilty, on the grounds Of insanity,
by jury i'll Department No. Of
the superior court yesterday after
noon. The jury found that Frazier
is insane at the present time, and
Judge Cole ordered that he be com
mitted to an insane asylum.
The case was given to the jury at
30 last night, and q verdict was
reached shortly after o clock.
To those familiar with the case,
there WAS little doubt what the
verdict would be, for Frazier, to all
appearances, is undoubtedly insane
The prosecution did not ask for the
death penalty, though Frazier was
charged with murder, District At
torney Utlev explaining to the jury
that he is satisfied Frazier is sub
normal.
IN answer to criticism by the
defense that the case should not
have been brought into court, the
district attorney told the jury that
two doctors had pronounced Fra
zier sane, and therefore, there was
nothing for him 20 DO bat bring the
case for trial.
The crime charged against Fra
2ier was surrounded by peculiar
circumstances. Testimony showed
that the defendant, who is 81 years
, Of age, had been treated two years
/ ago for mental trouble. On various
+ occasions previous to the shooting
! he had showed signs Of mental ir.
responsibility.
On the night of September f.
while the Frazier household was
asleep, Frazier suddenly got ont of
bed, and grabbing revolver from
beneath his pillow. fired two shots
into 4 nearby bed in which Mays
and two of Fra2ier's brothers were
sleeping. Mays died almost in
stantlv. Members of the family
grappled with Frazier who seemed
t. possess superhuman strength for
a few moments and then suddenly
collapsed.
He claimed to remember nothing
about the shooting, though he ad-
mitted that he might have done it.
Steps will be taken to commit Fra
zier to the state insane asylum at
NOrWalk OF Patton.
