Tew, Jr., 45-year-old Dunn business man, was committed to the Dorothea Dix metal hospital at RaUeigh today, just 13 days after a jury found him not guilty by reaison of insanity in the July 17th psitol slaying of his divorced wife, Mrs. Candy Tew, 40. Judge Leo Carr of Burlington took the action at a sanity hearing conducted in Harnett Superior Court, during which Tew was branded by psychiatrists as a “dangerous and violent paranoid.** . Dr. Leslie B. Hohmann of Duke Hospital, world famed psychiatrist, said in a letter introduced by Dis Solicitor Archie Taylor that “Tew‘s condition is of such severity that only a prolonged hospital stay could con vince me he had improved. The type illness he suffers JOHN J. TEW, JR. lenus iu ue tmumt aim criminal. I would not be content to see him releas ed until after a very long period has elapsed, if . ever.“ Judge Carr, in send. Tew to the State mental hospital, ordered that he “be kept in custody and confined for his own tr | eatment, care and secur ity." He noted that, “there is nothing in the record to support any contention his condition has in any way improved. He is dan gerous to himself and es pecially to other people. The jurist noted that no length of time is sp. ecHied in such cases but pointed out that, “Even if doctors at the hospital should find he has recovered his sanity, hecould not be released until after an other sanity hearing by the resident judge of this district. The defendant Tew was obviously unhappy over the commitment order. “If I'm crazy," he told a Daily Record repor ter after he was led back to jail, “then I‘ve been that way for 45 years. My mind is just as> clear now as it's ever been.“ He said that for 45 years he had been able to get along, had cared for his family as well as any poor man could and had successfully managed his business and other affairs. He said it was true he had been upset about his wife, “but that's in the past now. “If they think I'm crazy enough to be sent to Dix Hill," he added, “then they ought to round up everybody else that's out and send them with me be cause they're as crazy-as lam. That paranoid stuff stuff is a lot of nonsense." No new witnesses were offered at the sanity hearing, Judge Carr summarized testimony relating to Tew's mental condition as he took it from evidence of the trial. Only witnesses who had testified they thought Tew insane were an uncle, the two psychiatrists, a detective and an airplane pilot he hired to try to catch his wife with other men two traveling salesmen who called on Tew at his furniture store, and Mrs. Verdie Huguelet, his lawyer’s secretary, and Mrs. Nancy Welborn, local newspaper editor. More than a dozen other witness es had testified Tew was sane and knew right from wrong. Dr. Hohmann had testified that beginning about the first of the year Tew started having paranoid mental delusions that his wife was unfaithful but that his delusions to here sexual promiscuity had all been false and disnroven. Bv coincidence. Resident Superior Court Judge W. A. (Bill) Johnson of Lilljngton was among the State’s witnesses who swore he thought Tew was sane and knew right from wrong- Judge Johnson had presided At a custody hearing attended by Tew ana ms aivorcea wue juai two nights before the killing. State and prosecution attorneys who fought constant verbal duels all through the hotly-contested first degree murder trial, continued to spar at the hearing today. Solicitor Archie Taylor asked the court to put Tew away “for years and years and years and years’* and indicated he didn’t think he should ever again be turned loose but still contended that Tew Is sane. “I didn’t think at the rial he was insane. I do not believe now that he is insane, but the Jury ruled otherwise.” said Taylor. Bryan Objects Defense Attorney Robert C. Bry an Jumned to his feet and object ed to Taylor’s remarts and said confinement should be for treat ment and not of a punitive nature. “Though he Dulled the trigger.” said Brvan. “he is not guilty of any crime because he was at the time.” He said Tew now th«t he was mentally i _ . a the time but feels that this book ige of his mind mav be past and. hat he can be (Continued
