a NEW BIL MAY END SANT PLEAS HOMIDIE CASES | Favors It to Stop the “Grave Scandals.” | | ABpecial From a Staff Correspondent of | The Evening World) | ALBANY. N. Y., Feb. 4.—The memory of Harry Thaw has been re-| called in a bill introduced by Assem- blyman Frank H. Lattin of Orleans County, which would provide that a person adjudged innocent of murde in the first degree on the plea of in- sanity be committed to an asylum for the rest of his or her life, Should the person so committed recover his or her sanity it would be optional with the prisoner to serve out the life sentence in the asylum or in a prison. Mr, Lattin, who is @ doctor, says that the bill was introduced at the request of the New York State Bar Association, which has promised to assist in its passage. The Assembly- man sald to-day that it was because of his being & physician that John Brooke Leavitt, President of the New York Bar Association, asked him to father the measure, the making of which into a law would ‘do away with @ grave scandal in the administration of justice.” “Under the provisions of the pro- posed measure,’ sald Dr, Lattin, “one of three verdicts may be returned by a jury—gullty, not enilty or guilty but insane. ‘The penalty for the latter verdict shall be confinement in an in- stitution for the Insane, there to re- main until recovery of reason or other- wise for life. In the event of reason returning then it will be optional with the prisoner to remain for the rest of his or her life in the asylum or be « transferred to a state prison.” The physician-legislator of Orleans County declares that he is in sympa- ‘The court adjourned this matter to thy with the bill and that while the saturday, when it will be taken up {dea favored by the Bar Association jain, provided Justice Morschauser rary Fine meen the preted kel hoe (cides to appoint the commission.
