This Is The Law
By ROBERT E. LEE
For the N. C. Bar
Aaaoeiatioa
MAYHEM
May a person be con
victed of a crime and sent
to prison if he intentional
ly and unlawfully cuts off
his own hand or a finger?
It would seem that he
could in North Carolina
and most states.
Mayhem was a crime at
common law when self-in
flicted. The common law
prevails in North Caro
lina unless changed by
statute.
Our government is deep
ly concerned, financially
and otherwise, in the
health and fitness of its
citizens and that they not
become a public charge. In
times of war, for example,
the nation needs men to
wage wars. It is not un
known that strong able
bodied men will cut off
their limbs to collect in
surance or for the purpose
of being placed on relief
rolls or being in a better
condition to ply the trade
of a beggar.
Is it a crime for a per
son to intentionally and
unlawfully cut off the hand
oi finger of another at his
request?
Yes. Such a case came
before the Supreme Court
of North Carolina for the
first time in 1961.
In writing the opinion
of the court, Justice Clif
ton L. Moore traced the
development and applica
tion of the law relating to
mayhem from the early
days of the common law in
England down to the pres
ent time in North Caro
lina.
A man wanted his fing
ers cut off so as to collect
insurance money. A li
censed physician in Reids
ville refused to amputate
them, but did agree to
deaden them with a hypo
dermic injection so that
the man’s brother could
cut them off with an elec
tric skill saw. This was
done.
Jive months later, the
man who had his fingers
sawed off brought a friend
into the same doctor’s of
fice for a similar purpose.
The doctor refused until he
was paid $65, the amount
due him by the first man
for former services, and $29
for deadening the second
man’s fingers. This was
done. The doctor deadened
the fingers and gave to
the man a rubber tourni
quet to stop the flow of
blood after his fingers had
been cut off, and showed
him how to apply and use
it.
Some two or three hours
later in the second man’s
home in Burlington, four of
his fingers were sawed off
by an electric skill saw.
The actual sawing in both
of these instances was done
by the brother of the first
man who had his fingers
sawed off.
The particular case be
fore the Supreme Court on
appeal was the conviction
of the doctor for being an
accessory before the fact
cf the felonious maiming
of the second man. The
conviction was sustained.
The doctor at the trial
said: “I knew what was
going on.” He advised the
man that it was foolish to
cut off his fingers, but told
him that if he didn’t have
any more sense than to
cut off his fingers, he (the
doctor) didn’t have any
more sense than to give
him the shots.
Thus, the doctor, with
full knowledge of the in
tention of the parties, gave
advice and treatment in re
gard to and in furtherance
of the proposed line of
conduct that constituted a
crime and thereby contri
buted to H.
Young Man In A Hurry
A young man barged into
a minister’s home, a lovely
young lady in tow, and ex
claimed, “We want to get
married. I beg you to
make the ceremony as
short as possible. Here are
the credentials. They’re in
order. Those two ladies
knitting over the& will do
as witnesses.”
The minister, amused,
performed the ritual, pock
eted his fee and titan pro*
tested, “Remember the old
adage about marrying tn
haste, say ildren? What’s
your hurry? 1 *
Thai young men, already
half way to the door, said
over his shoulder, “We’re
double-parked.”
