Dobbins Bill in Assembly Would Block the “Insanity” Dodge Used by Murderers TUKNTON, Feb. !>.—One of the most-discussed bills introduced in the Assembly this session, is the proposed j amendment to the crimes act by which j Assemblyman Francis V. Dobbins, j Democrat, of Union County, hopes to I make it possible for persons accused of murder to plead either not guilty or "guilty but insane." The Thaw case had a lot to do with Assemblyman Dobbins drafting the bill and he says he received some of his ideas also from a law which has been advanced in ISngland to the same effect. Oddly enough, a simi lar bill has engaged the attention of the New York Bar Association, which last, week recommended it to the at-, tention of the New York Legislature. I The bill alms to abolish the defense* of insanity in murder trials. If the accused wishes he may plead not guilty, but if he wishes to plead to alleged insanity he must plead "guilty but insane,” in which case the jury will have to determine whether he is sane or insane. Concerning his own btll Assembly - man Dobbins said: "The notion that an insane man should not be held responsible for his crimes la an ex ploded one. The protection of the public demands that the bill I have introduced to the Legislature become I a law. I find on all hands that it is receiving the approval of persons best fitted to judge of its merits." G. B.
