ALASKA’S CRIMINAL INSANE
One McKenna, a miner at Kennecott, was recently
indicted for first degree murder. If the facts bear out
the reports of the tragedy the killing was a pecularly
attrocious and cold blooded affair.
At the last term of court at Valdez, McKenna inter
posed a plea of insanity. Two doctors testified that in
their opinion, McKenna was sane and feigning insanity.
One phycisian believed him to be really sane. The Judge
held that McKenna was insane and committed him to
the asylum at Morningside, there to be detained until
his mental condition became normal, he to be returned to
Valdez for trial in that event.
We have no criticism to offer as to the action of Judge
Clegg. He undoubtedly considered the man to be in no
mental condition for a trial but we do seriously object to
a system which permits the sending of dangerous mur
derers to such institutions as Morningside. It is a matter
of common knowledge that insane patients frequently
escape from that place. Some time ago a man killed two
persons here in Seward; on his plea of insanity he was
sent to Morningside. He walked out of that place a short
while later and as far as we know, has not been recap
tured.
_ Morningside is a contract institution where the on
ly interest the proprietors have in their patients is the
monthly allowance the government pays for their keep.
There is a hospital for the criminal insane in Wash
ington, D. C. Why not make this available to Alaskan
patients?
It isn’t very often they build stone monuments to the
memory of the man who boosts his town. His good works
show for themselves.
The kind of a winter this area has enjoyed thus far
is welcome especially when associated with the thought
that within ten or twelve weeks we shall be witnessing
the miracle of the awakening of spring.
