Bnt when mur- der has been committed, and the jury has decided that the murderer is insane, there seems to‘be no other way of dealing with him than send- ing: him toone of our asylums. Now, our asylums :are not prisons, and public opinion will not tolerate pris- on principle in‘them. and to place such dangerous men as Taggart and Moir in an ordinary asylum for safe- keeping seems rather inviting their escape and rendering possible future crimes. Their escape has succeeded in at least raising the question whe- ther an ordinary jury is really com- petent to pass upon the sanity or insanity of a prisoner. It seems rather significant that when the me- dical superintendent of the Hamilton asylum was questioned as to the sa- nity of the men who escaped, he re- fused to expms an opinion.
