DIPSOMANIAC IS RELEASED
Judirs Cornish Holds Law IsTalid aa
Improper Use of Police Power,
METHOD OF INCARCERATION FAULTY
Law Provides Inebriates Mast Hot Be
toadned with Insane, Wall It
Appears Complainant
Had Been.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May 24. (8peclal.) The dipso
maniac law got a whack from Judge Cor
nish of the district court this afternoon
when he ordered the release of LeRoy
Craig from the asylum, Craig having been
adjudged an Inebriate. He sought release
by habeas corpus proceedings, and In his
opinion Judge Cornish said:
In the matter of the application of Le
roy Craig for writ of habeas corpus the
court Is of the opinion that the demurrer
In this case to the application must be
overruled for the reason: First, that the
law providing for the commitment of dip
somaniacs to the asylum provides that
they shall be confined in a separate ward.
The petition which upon demurrer Is ad
mitted to be true alleges that the appli
cant Is not confined In a separate ward,
but Is confined to a ward in which Insane
patients are kept. It is also alleged that
It Is proposed to continue to so confine
him, and that the state Is unable at the
present time to provide lor otner connne
ment of such persons. If this varlatloa
from the law Is prejudicial to the rights
of the applicant, then It seems to the
court that his petition makes a cas1. We
believe such confinement does constitute
substantial injury. These persons are sup
pose! to be already weakened by the use
of drinks or drugs and their confinement
with insane patients is dangerous to their
natural health, end at least until the legis
lature shall see fit to so confine them
their complaint In this particular ought to
be held good. Another reason why the court
is of the opinion that this law is bsd Is
that It does not seem to come under the
general rule permitting police regulations
In this, that It does not confine itself to
those cases where the person's conduct
Is assumed to have become a menace to
the peace, safety, health or morals of
society. The court is of the opinion that
for such a law to be constitutional it must
be so limited in Its application.
