Justices Examined By Marion County Insanity Inquiry
The Marion County Medical Society committee examined Justices Lockman and Smock in Dr Denson's office regarding the so called insanity trust. Board of Health members Morri son and Moffett refused to testify without remaining in the room during each examination, so the committee separated the witnesses. The Board of Health would not compel, so the committee abandoned their testimony. The investigation nears completion but no testimony will be released until next week's medical society meeting. The State Board of Charities met Secretary Butler to discuss the asylums tour. A formal report to Governor Durbin will be prepared but may extend beyond this week. Ex Senator Ellison said further visits to asylums are unnecessary after two Central Asylum visits and others. Edward Cody, 46, confined in the workhouse and claiming a St Louis residence, was adjudged insane, believing a spirit in his stomach directs his actions. Jennie M Martin, 33, of 340 West Tenth Street, was also adjudged insane, believing her father intends to injure her.
