Plan to transfer Hoge to Warren State Hospital
An effort is underway to place Ralph J. Hoge temporarily in Warren State Hospital for further observation of his mental condition. A successful transfer could reopen Hoge’s case, after Judge Burton R. Laub ordered continued treatment at Farview State Hospital for the Criminally Insane. An appeal may follow to the Superior Court. Hoge has been jailed since the ruling. Attorneys seek transfer authority from welfare officials or the judge, with a 30 to 60 day stay suggested for observation.
