The defendant, a postmaster in this
d istrict, has been convicted ujider sec
tion 4,05!) of the Revised Statutes, of
embezzlement of Government money
1 1 in defence upon li is trial was baaed
upon alleged insanity, and as this was
not e.tnblirhed by evidence.
tl e jury properly found a ver
dict ol not Uilty. The testi'
mouy oliered merely snowed eccen
tricity. ' There ai e many persons wLo
without being insane exhibit peculiar
ities of thought, feeling and character.
which render them unlike ordinary be
ings, and make them objects or remark
among their fellows. They may or may
not booomo actually insane, but they
spring from families 111 which insanity
or other neryous diseases exist (See
l.e ponsibuity in Menttl Ditease, p. 10).
The defendant would seem from his
neighbors' testimony to belong to the
class of persons ho described by Dr.
Maudsley.
This is a motion for a now trial baHod
upon the testimony of two physicians
who have examined the prisoner since
his conviction. Were the case any other
than ono of alleged insanity, the motion
would be denied upon the preliminary
ground that the evidence was not uowly
discovered. Ihere ih no reason why
the examination should not have been
made before tho trial more especially
as the defence of insanity was made at
tho spring term of this Court. 1 am not
disposed, however, to put the denial of
tho motion on tho ground of lacliex. If
tho defendant ought not to be punished
for his admitted violation of tho law. he
surely ought not, for failure to iutro-
duco his evidence in duo time.
I proceed then to consider the expert
testimony: The highly respectable med
ical gentlemen who have examined the
defendant, both expressed tho opinion
that Jones Young was of disordered
mind; that while capable of distinguish
ing between right and wrong w ith re
gard to his alleged crime, they thought,
one of them that ho was irresponsible,
tho other that ho was only partially re
sponsible. The great regard that 1 havo
for the opinion of the witnesses renders
it proper for me in differing from them,
or one of them, in one point;to give my
reasons for doing so. I am compelled
to hold upon thoir evidence that tho de
fendant is responsible as matter ol law.
Both by the rules laid down by courts
and by tho opinion of medical writers
ou this branch of jurisprudence, mental
unsoundness does not necessarily bring
with it irresponsibility. There is a class
of criminals "marked by defective
physical and mental organization, one
result of their defect being an oxtreme
deficiency or complete absence of the
moral sense a considerable portion of
them spring from families in which in
sanity, epilepsy, or some other neurosis
exists. Crime is a sort of outlet in wbich
their uusound tendencies are die
charged; they would go mad if they
wore not criminals, and they do not go
mad because they are." (See Responsi
bility in Montal Diseaso, p. 32). They
arc on the border land between insanity
and crime. In meeting the delicate
question of responsibility for wrong
our difficulty is not solved when we de
lertnino that a defendant is of weak
mind and defective moral sense. "Na
ture makes no leaps" and between the
most powerful intellect and idiocy or
imbecility there is a continuous, un
broken, imperceptible descent . On both
sides of an invisible line are multitudes
of cases where it is impossible to say
with confidence that tho mind is or is
not Mtne. But when tho question of
responsibility is presented to a court,
there is an imperative necessity of de
ciding, and there is further a necessity
of deciding by rule. An arbitrary lino,
if none other can be discovered, must
be drawn. It must be so drawn as to
be certain, comprehensible and broad;
certain enough to be a basis for the con
duct of life; comprehensible enough
to admit of its being explained clearly
to a jury of plain men without danger
of their being misled; broad enough to
cover many cases without confusing
unskilled minds by minute distinctions.
The refinements of scientific classifica
tion must be pretermitted. The first
necessity in the administration of justice
must be considered, and that is the
safety of the community; tho protection
of the greater and more valuable class
in it, who are not insane. A rule must
be laid down which will not have the
effect of letting many criminals escape
through the: bewilderment of juries.
Tenderness to the weak commendable
as it is must not be stretched so as to
endanger the lives or even the property
of the 'public. In looking for such a
rule courts have always had in view as
the true end of punishment, the preven
tion of crime. . in dealing with the
criminal insane, as in dealing with the
class which stands on the border line of
insanity, the irreclaimably vicious, the
object of the law in imposing sentences
is neither to punish nor to reform; the
former is useless, the latter rimpossibie.
The only end aimed at is to deter by the
fear of punishment. In theory then, it
would be correct to say that a person of
unsound mind should be punished for
such acts ' as the fear of punishment
might prevent, or tend to prevent. Ex
perience abundantly, shows that sucn
fear does act as a restraint upon the
insane,: But some more definite instruc
tion must be given to a jury. The rule
domed by the courts after long discus
sion, and in modern times, is the famous
knowledge-or-right-and-wrong test, as
laid down by- the" English judges in
answer to questions propounded to them
by the House of Lords, in 1843, it was
stated in the following terms: "To es
tablish a defence on the ground of in
sanity, it must be clearly proved that at
the time of committing the act, tne ac
cused was laboring under such a defect
of reason from disease of the mind as
not to know the nature and 'quality of
the act he was doing, or If he did know
it, that he did not know he was doing
'.what was wrong." The rule was clearly
aid down in North Carolina by Green
J. in a case tried in this city, (State vs.
Haywood Phillips Law) in 1867 in
these words: "If the prisoner at the
time he committed the homicide was in
a state to comprehend his relations to
other persons, the nature of the act and
its criminal character, or in other words
if he was conscious of doing wrong at
the time of committing the homicide, he
is responsible. But if on the contrary
the prisoner was under the visitation of
of God and could not distinguish be
tween good and evil, and did
not know what he did, he
is ntt guilty of any offence
against the law, for guilt arises from
the mind and wicked will." This in
struction was approved by the late chief
justice and is law in North Carolina, as
it is in most of our state and Federal
courts. The deviations that have been
mado from it have not been systematic
have introduced no new rule, and have
beon merely productive of confusion
So well established a principal ought not
to no changed otherwise than by legis
lation. I certainly do not feel at liberty
vt depart iron it.
The right and wrong test has boen at
tacked by medical writers with great
vehemence and sometimes with intern
perance. It has been treated often
an attempt to state a rule which should
1 1 it f 1 1 . 1
Ltrnt Hiiiuty. very lew enngntenea law
yers would'in 1843 have denied the pos
sibility of the existence of cases where
the rulo would fail even as a test of
moral responsibility. I do not doubt
but that a man may bemad without de
usion, or that a man mar be driven to
1 desperate and homicidal act bv mor
bid impulse. But such cases in which
physicians havo considered a defend
:int wnoiiy irresponsible, are rare
few of them, comparatively
ire given oven 111 books, written
by those who have access to the sta
iisiics or innumerable cases of insan
ty. J he legal view does not deny the
possibility of alfective insanity, but
holds it unsafe to make it a legal defence.
It such casos could be tested in anyway,
erhaps some other rule than the one
now acted upon might bo given. But
when we call to mind tho extent of
country, much of it not very well set
tled, which our law protects, the rare
nem of real ex perls, the danger of crude,
yet positive opinions, confidently.
though ignorantly pressed upon bewild
ered juries, we may well appreciate
that public alarm, which, after 51c
Naughton's acquittal, induced, the House
ot Liords, to ask the opinion of the Eng
lish judges on the law of insanity. The
export who testifies to tho discovery of
poison in human remains can actually
produce its metallic basis in presence of
tho jury, liut insanity is a defect or
a diseaso of the organ that thinks, the
brain. That can as yet be tested by no
analysis, seen, while life exists, by no
lense, measured by no instrument. The
molecular change which accompanies
thought ceases at death, and we but
guess .at tho physical functions of the
brain.
would be that in the majority of cases
genuine expert testimony could not be
obtained, for the reason that our crimi
nal courts are held in hundreds of lo
calities in each of half a hundred States,
in places remote from cities and learned
men.
Resting under these conditions courts
Concoding that tho rule as it exists
is defective, its liability to onnrate 11 n
justly, in exceptional cases does hot often
result in injustice. The prisoner is
tried by a jury of his neighbors and has
tho bcuofil of the public opinion of the
community, which rarely fails to be
corroct on tho question of whether one
accused of crime ought to be punished.
In those cases in which that fails as it
sometimes does by reason of local feel
ing, there is the power of pardon vested
in the executive a power more often
abused by excess of mercy than of se
verity. If all these safe-guards fail
there remains the case, which must
sometimes occur in communities of
men, of an individual compelled to suf
fer, because by the defect of human
skill, he could not be protected .without
public injury. The instances of the
punishmentof men irresponsible through
insanity in modern times, even allowing
all the cases claimed as such by medical
writers, do not equal in number tie
failures of justice , through false testi
mony or false inferences from circum
stances. With the most earnest desire
to do exact justice our courts muct
always occasionally fail because judge,
jury and witnesses are men, and sub
ject to the limits of human nature.
But this would bo no reason for an
adherence to the present rule were a
sounder and safer ono discovered. Med
ical writers have suggested none. The
alternative which would seem to be
the outcome of its objections to the
right and wrong test would be to allow
the medical experts summoned as wit
nesses to give their opinions upon the
question of the defendant's responsibil
ity and instruct the jury to decide upon
the weight of medical authority.
Manifold and apparently fatal ob
jections exist to this:
1. it would be contrary to the course
of law and a practical substitution of a
tribunal unknown to our system, for
trial by jury. As Lord Campbell re
marked, to allow a witness to give his
opinion as to the responsibility of the
accused, would be to leave to him the
precise question which the jury is em
panelled to decide.
i. Expert witnesses are employed by
parties to the litigation. Thus they are
selected not with a view to the discovery
of the truth, but to serve a particular
side. The medical men most likely
to be favorable- to the case
of - the defendant are naturally
selected by him. The prosecution as
naturally selects its experts upon simi
lar grounds. And without imputing
anytbiog worse than ordinary and
excusable human infirmity , interest, pre
conceived ideas,- partisanship, and the
desire for victory are liable to, bias ex;
pert testimony. ... . -
s. The physician sees, the subject Of
insanity from the standpoint of doctor
and patient, instead of from that of so
ciety and violator of lawv - -v ; r r.r
4. A specialist is not always a Bare
witness for the very reason . that makes
him a specialist. It is reasonable to ex
pect a man -who bad made a speeiai
study of poisoning by arsenic, to often
see symptoms of arsenio poisoning even
when they do not exist. -- x
: 5. But the great practical difficulty
are compelled to adhere to the rul
adopted by them in the past, not with
any bund reverence for it as a thing de
ciued, but because science has as yet
provided them witn nothing better
But I do not consider the present case
as one of which from any point of view
irresponsibility could be predicated
There can be no doubt but that Jones
Young knew that he was doing wrong
in committing the acts which led to bis
conviction. IIis case is not one of irre
Bistable impulse for his ebezzlmont of
government funds was the result of
years of criminal conduct. His disease
is not general mania. On the contrary
both of the doctors say that ho was only
occasionally insane. In cases of crime
from what is called a morbid irresistable
impulse, the criminal act of tho patient
is the evidence of his insanity. In this
case the acts of the defendant are the
best evidence of his responsibility. Dur
ing a period of many years he has been
guilty of systematic fraud. His quar
terly returns rendered to the Postoffice
Department and sworn to, each quarter
have been regularly false. The amount
of overcharges have been each tirre
about the same, and yet have each time
varied, it is impossible to suppose uni
form conduct covering a series of yeais
to be the result of an insanity consistir g
or an occasional incapability of appre
ciating obligations when in "a state of
depression." The prisoner's conduct
has been that of an adroit criminal. The
doctors both say that ho may have
known right and wrong as to the acts
with which he is charged. One of them
believes him only partially responsible.
The other says: "He is irresponsible
from a disordered brain from conduct
ing himself as a sane person should, and
that with possibly not an absolute ignor
ance of right and wrong, he is when his
brain is in a state of depression unable
to do right or to resist wrong, lhs rea
son is in obeyance or perverted. He
seems to be non compos mentis and has
mismanaged his public as his private af
fairs, lhe reasons given by tho ex
pert witnesses lor tneir opinions are:
eccentric actions; mental peculiarities
exhibited in coversation; excessive
anxiety with regard to health; apparent
lack ot interest in bis position; and par
ticularly the existence of insanity in
the family of defendant. All these
facts are consistent with sanity, and the
latter of them may explain all the rest.
But if the defendant be of unsound
mind he is yet responsible, unless in
sanity is in itself in every case a de
fence for any act committed by the in
sane person, both in his periods of in ¬
sanity, and in what are termed his lucid
intervals. The sentence of the court
which is of two years' imprisonment at
hard labor, is very much below the
maximum and fits a case of guilt ex
tenuated by the existenco of a less than
usual moral sense.
If upon the arrival of the defendant
at the penitentiary be shall be or be
come, in the opinion of tho physician in
charge, insane, he may under section
4852 of the Revised Statutes be confined
in the government hospital for tho in
sane and be cared for as an insane man;
and this result will in such event be
obtained without the ill consequence
wbich would now from giving un
necessary weight to a defence so dan
gerous in a case of systematic, ingenious
and long continued fraud, as that of
insanity.

COMMERCIAL.
Indicted for Libel.
The case of State vs. W. E. Charlotto,
charged with libeling Wm. Hay, Esq.,
was called before Justice Brinson yes
terday morning and Qdrow quite a
crowd.
Hon. C. C. Clark appeared for the
State; L. J. Moore, Esq., for tho defendant.
When the witnesses were called the
defendant filed an affidavit that he
could not obtain justico before Justice
Brinson, and ask that the case be sent
to some other justice in the county. His
Honor read the affidavit, and as he
wrote the transfer to Justice Hancock
on the back of the warrant remarked,
'Justice is what they don't want."
The defendant was placed in the cus
tody of the officer and directed to re
turn the warrant to Justice Hancock,
and the witnesses were recognized to
appear instanter.
Justice Hancock heard the case at the
city hall, where the crowd had some
what increased.
The defendant pleaded not guilty and
waiyed examination, and asked that a
bond be fixed for his appearance at the
next term of the court. Mr. Moore
stated the court could only do this after
hearing the testimony, and it would be
a waste of time to go into the examina
tion of witnesses when the defendant
was ready to give bond for his appear
ance.
Mr. Clark, in behalf of the State, in
sisted that it was necessary to examine
the witnesses in order to determine the
amount of the bond, and for the further
purpose ' of proceeding against other
parties who might, upon the examina
tion, be found guilty of the same of
fense.
Mr. Moore in reply stated that such a
proceeding on the part of the Justice
would be without a parallel ; that it was
not even within the province of the
grand jury to throw out a drag net in
the community to see who they could
sooop in, much less tne duty ol a Jus
tice, whose duty it is to issue Warrants
upon a proper affidavit, to examine
witnesses lor the purpose 01 nuding out
who he might nave arrested. .
Another speech from Mr. (Jlartr and a
reply from Mr. Moore, and the Justice
required, without examining the wit-
ses. the defendant to give bond in
the sum of three hundred dollars for his
appearance at the next term, of the
Superior Court. - v k.
