Special Star Telegram. ' Kaleigb, N. C., February 2. The Senate again to day resolved itself into committee of the whole,' for considera tion of the bill to amend, consolidate and codify the insane . laws of the State. The first section brought under discussion was that providing that the criminal insane shall be cared for and treated- in. the wards of the peniten tiary, which has heretofore been as signed for that purpose, and the said wards shall be known as the depart ment of the criminal insane, and the board of directors of the penitentiary is given fnll control and management of said department. Senator , Daniels opposed this pro vision. Nothing, in his opinion, could eliminate the stigma of being confined in the penitentiary, call it by what pretext or name you may. Senator Mason also Opposed the provision, and said he could understand cases where it might be hurtful in effect Senator Brown's candid opinion was that the main object of the provision is to get the " insane asylum clear of troublesome patients. "I am opposed to it," he said. "Take convicts fromJ,he central prison of the penitentiary if you like, and. send them to farms where they rightfully belong; and then it will be all right to .create the central prison as an institu tion for.the criminal insane; but as the matter now stands,' we should strike out the provision altogether." Senator Fields urged that the criminal and dangerous insane be allowed to remain in hospitals; Senator Coolie said, "no matter if a man:, becomes dangerous and desperate, as a lion, he could not be sent to a felon's cell. We know not when the hand of God may . bring this matter tome to nsiW could we bear such stigma upon one of our relatives. Increase taxation,- if necessary, but keep the insane in the asylums provided for them. Senator Glenn said that the commit tee had found that the penitentiary could be arranged for the reception of the criminal insane at a cost of some thing' like $1,500, but that he would be glad to support an amendment appro priating $50,000 or $60,000 for building a new and separate institution for the criminal insane. Senator Daniels said he would support it There are rooms in the hospital at Morganton for drunk ards, but under the provisions of the bill, as it stands, our mothers, wives and daughters maybe put on the same footing as the lowest prostitute on God's earth. Senator Speisrht said too much attention had been given to the' dangerously insane and not enough thought to the-Jnnocent, harmless un fortunates iho were constantly in danger' from being confined in the same building I Consider, he said, the safety of the eight hundred insane at Morganton, - the four hundred at Ra leigh and the ;f our hundred at Golds boro. - Finally Senators Hicks, Travis, Speight and Daniels were appointed a sub committee to draft an amend ment for this section and submit to the committee of the whole. Senator Daniels offered an amend ment to the effect that when persons who are not dangerously insane are confined in an asylum and become dangerous, they shall not be removed from the institution.
