In Insanity
Pleas of Insanity used by the
defense In criminal trials are com
ing in for searching looks from
lawyers and psychiatrists across
the United States and England.
This was the opinion expressed
Monday evening by Curtis Bok,
Judge of Philadelphia's Court of
Common Pleas No. 6, in delivering
the first of three lectures on "Prob
lems in the Criminal Law." Judge
Bok spoke Monday on "The Trial."
But, Bok went on, lawyers and
psychiatrists are far from agree
ment on what constitutes insanity.
Their disagreement, he said, stems
from the fact that "the two profes
sions are talking on different plane
In the criminal trial, Bok said,
law is concerned with the ''outer
conduct'' of a person on trial. Law

plained. Psychiatry, on the other hand,
concerns itself with the "inner
state" of a person Bok continued.
Psychiatrists deal with the diagnos
of mental imbalance, Bok said, and
make recommendations to the court
as to the proper sentencing of the
accused in order to cure his mental
ilh.
"Law and psychiatry will eventu
ally get into the same bed," Judge
Bok said, "but tbe fusion of the
two professions wuld be impolitic
in the near future."
The two "professions must be
married in such a way, he said,
that the "retention of the essential
purposes" of each is assured.
"The law can't help but change,
he continued.
He pointed out that the "jury is
slowly but inexhorably withering
away." But, he sent on, we had
"better be patient to let it wither."
Otherwise, he said, there would be
major rioting in the streets. He
assured the audience of 150, how
ever, that only a major revolution,
Russian-style, could quickly do
away with the jury system.
Legal procedure is slow and la
borious, Bok commented, and he
feels that this is quaint. "Quaint
ness links us beneficially with the
past," he pointed out.
Judge Bok will deliver the sec

the relief part of the wood.

is more delicate. Several prints
may be made of the same woodcut;

Grasshopper.
