Smith Insanity Case Heard In Equity Court
Cambridge pastor Frank Hyatt Smith was adjudged insane by Judge Nelson after protracted testimony in U S Equity Court. The court ordered confinement in a government insane hospital in Washington once interior department permission is secured, with bondsmen keeping him in custody meanwhile. The trial drew a large crowd as prosecutors and defense focused on Smith’s alleged mental state and writings, with testimony detailing family histories of insanity and Smith’s recent behavior. Experts testified to his insanity and need for confinement, while witnesses described his troubled mind and volatile episodes surrounding church affairs.
