mis Prlcilla Dean to play a dual role
a mother and dauichter both i o-

and chartninK ounic womanhood
The mother has forgotten the dau-
ghter's existence while the child has

Alabama Supreme Court Tires of
Insanity Pleas from Birmingham
c
Br InteinUtcat ;. SerTlce.
BIRMINGHAM. Ala July 117
Is the Jefferson County jail in this
cit conductive to Insanity? Or is It
as it seems to some observers con-1
duetve to thoughts that a plea of In-
sanity may save one from hanging''
Thi1- question has drawn forth an
expnssion from the State Supreme
Court The Court specifically cited
the instance of Charley Wade con-'
vlcted and sentenced to nineteen to
twenty years at hard labor for an al-
leged criminal operation upon the
piisou of a jnan for auctions paid
Wades wife The opinion in this
case was that scarcely enough evi-
dence submitted for the insanity plea
to wan ant bringing it to the atten-
tion of the Jury at the first trial.
Wade was confined to the Jeffer-I
son County Jrtil anil entered Hie plea!
of insanity when convicted of the of-1
fense. Numerous others convicted of I
murder and lesser crimes have clnim-'
ed the protection afforded by law to!
persons affected with mental disor-1
ders. Two outstanding and recent
instances were those of P. White
Seaj convicted of brutally murder-
ing lis nineteen-year-old wife and
John Whitesidi a negro who k ill ci
J L Bourgeois and Lacy Muiplxr
an old man seventy -three yais ld
ami a boy of fifteen
Seay. H was shown b his i
trial and comictlon brutally choked
to death and mutilated the body of
his wife near Florence Ala. May l.".
He was brought to the County jail i
here for -safe keeping mid upon op- j
enlng of his case enteied a plea of
not guilty hy reason of insanity
lu the same way Wlntesiilo shot
the old mnu and a hoy down in a
group of woods near this city several
wooks ago. After a chase of several
days he was captured in Chattatinoga
and brought to the Jefferson Jail
County Solicitor Joseph U Tate hats
taken cognizance of the many cn.es
of insanity pleas and stated that he
would order a thorough fumigation
to rid the prison of any possible "in-
sanity" germs that might be lurking
within it.
"An irrostible impluse generated
by wicked propensities will not ex-
cuse the violation of the law De
pravity is not a disease. High tem-
per hot blood and passion are not
such mental ailments as will excuse
the commission of crime. The so-
called emotional insanity is not rec-
ognized as a defense In a criminal
case" says Judge Charles II Brick-
en presiding over the Court of Appeals

DENVER. July 2 7. International
relations nnd questions of citizenship
and Christianity were Involved in a
case before Judge Ben Llndsoy in
Juvenile Court here when applica-
tion was mado for tho adoption by
an English woman with a Japanese
huaband of an American-born baby.
The citizenship of fifteen-month-old
Mildred Lorraine Jones daugh-
t( r of an American mother hung in
the balance when Judge Lindsey pon-
dered over tho application of Sen
Okazaki Japans for adoption of
the child.
According to immigration officlaiR
little Mildred If permitted to go to
the Okazakls would lose her Amer-
ican citizenship and could never re-
gain It except by marriage to an
American citizen.
Not willing to UWo the responsi-
bility of robbing tho child of its
birthright Judgo Lindsey refused to
grant the application for adoption
but declared the baby a dependent
of the court and awarded its tem-
porary cars to Mr. and Mrs. Oka-
zaki Judge Lindsey declared that the
child's natural mother had forfeited
her rights by neglecting the baby
The mother now lira. Alta Jones
Duff announced that she vrould con
tinue to fight for her baby and has
appealed to Federal officers for tho
restoration of the child to her.
Witnesses testified that tho Olsn-
zakls had cared for little Mildred
from the time she was a fow weeks
old and had given hor tho host of
treatment. Testimony was offered
by Mrs. Okazaki n cultured and
educated woman to tho effect that
tho fatherhood of Mildred was un-
certain and that the mother had
consented in writing to the adoption
of the baby when It was first takou
by the Okazakls. Mrs. Okazaki stat-
ed that she had lost a son bom sev-
eral years ago and related a- touch
ing story of her deslro to have Mil-
dred to till the void caused by tho
death of tho boy born of her Japa-
nese husband.
Okazaki Is an ox-offlcor of tho
Japanose army a graduate of Toklo
University and 'has taken courses In
Columbia and Denver Universities.
Ho is now engaged lu business In
Denver.
In his testimony he described
how through the loss of his son
born to his Christian wife he had
embraced Christianity nud said that
he would have become an American
citizen long ago It it had been possible.
