Called "Psych0pathic"
Zangara's attorneys asked for a COM
mission to examine his sanity last
week. The commission reported the
assassin as ''psychopathic personality"
and is a social misfit of the type whose
pet schemes and morbid emotions run
in conflict with the established order
of society"
DR.. 7. Earl Moore, one of the mem
bers of the Sanity Commission, de-
clared that to call Zangara a sane man
should cause the so-called normal or
sane people to be rather indignant"
He termed Zangara'S act "a product
of very illogical reasoning 1t points
rather conclusively to an inherent in
ability to make satisfactory social ad-
justment in even this broad minded
county. Dr. Agos (the other member
of the commission) and 1 agreed that
this individual is not well fitted to
take a place in the society bf normal
people"
DR.. Moore added, however, that zan-
CARA may be considered by some peo-
pie to tell or distinguish right from
wrong, which constitutes sanity in legal
