Statement of proceedings, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1901, for the deportation of insane persons, claimed to be residents of other states.

PROCEEDINGS FOR DEPORTATION OF INSANE PERSONS DISPOSED OF UP TO JUNE 30, 1901.

IN RE EDWIN COX.

Proceedings for deportation from Michigan to Oregon. Edwin Cox was admitted to the Michigan Asylum for the Insane at Kalamazoo, at state expense, as an indigent insane person, upon an order of commitment stating that he was a resident of the state of Oregon; investigation developed conclusively that Cox was in fact, at the time of his commitment, a resident of that state, and proofs were laid before the Oregon authorities sustaining the fact. They, however, neglected to receive and care for Cox, and as the duty of the state of Oregon in the premises was enforcible only through interstate comity, its refusal was final and the proceeding was abandoned.

IN RE HARVEY PRICE.

Proceedings for deportation from Michigan to Illinois. Harvey Price, admitted to the Michigan Asylum for the Insane, at Kalamazoo, Michigan, from Ingham county, at state expense, as an indigent insane person, was claimed to be a resident of Chicago, Illinois. It was developed upon investigation that Price was in fact a resident of Michigan and the medical superintendent of the asylum was advised to have the judge of probate amend the order of commitment to that effect and the order was so amended.

IN RE WILLIAM J. WALSH.

Proceedings for deportation from Michigan to Ontario, Canada. William J. Walsh was temporarily committed to the Northern Michigan Asylum for the insane, at Traverse City, by the probate court of Mis

saukee county, at state expense, as an indigent insane person; pending his return to his last place of legal residence, which was supposed to be Ontario, Canada. Proofs were procured establishing the facts that Walsh was insane when he came into Michigan, and had not gained a legal residence here, but was a resident and citizen of the province of Ontario, Canada. The proofs were presented to the inspector of asylums at Toronto, Ontario, who, on behalf of the government, refused to receive and care for Walsh, on the ground that his government was not compelled to do so and that it had in its asylums a large number of patients belonging to or having a legal residence in some of the states. The order of commitment was finally amended, committing Walsh as a permanent patient to the Northern Michigan Asylum.

IN RE FRANK E. BESSETT.

Proceedings for deportation from Michigan to Illinois. Frank E. Bessett was temporarily committed to the Northern Michigan Asylum for the Insane at Traverse City, at state expense, by the probate court of Ionia county, as an indigent insane person, pending his return to the state of which he was claimed to be a resident. Affidavits and other proofs were procured, fixing Bessett's residence as Cook county, Illinois, and establishing the fact that he had been an inmate of the Dunning Asylum for the Insane in Cook county, that he was insane at the time of coming into this state, and that he had not gained a residence here. Upon a showing of these facts he was received by the proper authorities of Cook county, Illinois, to be maintained at its expense.

IN RE NELLIE W. OSBORN.

Proceedings for deportation from Michigan to South Dakota. The case of Nellie W. Osborn, insane, was presented to the attorney general by the judge of probate of Clinton county, who reported that her condition was such that it would be necessary to commit her to some asylum for the insane, and that as she had gained no residence in the state and was in indigent circumstances, she would become a state charge. Proofs were procured fixing her place of legal residence as South Dakota, and that she was insane at the time she was brought to Michigan by her husband. After presenting the proofs, procured, to the South Dakota authorities she was transported to that state and the probate court of Brown county committed her to an asylum as a resident of South Dakota.

IN RE NETTIE M. MYERS.

Proceedings for deportation from Michigan to Colorado. Mrs. Myers was committed to the Northern Michigan Asylum for the Insane at Traverse City, in October, 1900, by the probate court of Mason county, at state expense as an indigent insane person, upon an order of commitment giving Colorado as her legal residence. Affidavits and proofs establishing her residence in Colorado; that she had been an inmate of the asylum at Pueblo, Colorado, and that she was sent to Michigan by the Colorado authorities, by whom her expenses were paid, for the purpose of relieving that state of the responsibility for her support, were

procured. These proofs were presented to the Colorado officials, with the result that they agreed to receive and care for her if she were returned to the sheriff of Arapahoe county, at Denver. She was subsequently turned over to the Colorado authorities in accordance with this agreement.
