Alienists Report That Jesse
Brown Is Criminally
Insane.
FUTURE ACTS FEARED
Case One That Will Grow
Worse Rather Than
Better, Physicians
State.
Jesse Drown, self-confessed ar
sonist, who destroyed a vacant
dwelling and barn at Yoncalla rtv
cently, with the avowed purpose
of attracting attention while he.
i robbed the bank, and who recent
ly led an escape from the county
Jail, was today committed to the
state asylum for the criminal In
sane, with the recommendation
that he be keyt confined there for
life.
Brown was recently taken before
Dr. Wm. House and Dr. D. C.
Ilurke, two specialists in the ex
amination of such cases, and they
Joined in declaring him insane, and
of such a type that it would be
dangerous to allow him to remain
' at large.
He is able to distinguish be
tween right and wrong, they state,
but has a tyte of mind that disre
gards consequences of wrong acts.
'1'hls typo of criminal, they state,
. Is the most dangerous, as he fully
realizes hie crime and Is cun
ning enough to try to elude and
avoid capture, but still does not
have sultlcient regard for the con
sequences to provide a deterreut.
So far, it wai stated by the phy
sicians In their report, he has con
lined his crimes to burning of
property, and passing worthless
checks, but In his mind he has
been planning bank robberies,
which would probably result In
killing of innocent persons, and it
is also possible that his pyroma
nlacal tendencies would eventually
cause him to burn occupied build
ings which might result In the loss
of life. His particular form of
dementia, It was stated, is one that
Increases rather than diminishing,
and he is a dangerous person to
have at large.
The fact that he has a mania for
hearing glass breaking and crash
ing, causing him to deliberately
break windows and glassware for
fun M hearing the noise, was
pointed out as one of the symp
toms of this particular form of de
mentia. It was also shown that he
has several times attempted sul
clile, nut with any particular de
sire to end his lite, but rather be
cause he did not have any thought
of the consequences of his acts.
It was recommended that he be
sent to the asylum and kept there
for lite, or at least for a long
number of years until his age ia
such that he will cease to be
dangerous. The recommendation
will also probably br made that
he be subjected to the operation
for criminal insane.
The committment papers have
been signed by the court and are
now ready for the asylum attend
ant who Is expected to arrive to
night to take the young man to
Salem.
Members of the Elks lodge are
planning on a most interesting
and enjoyable meeting at their
Homecoming program to be held
at the lodge halt tomorrow night.
A special effort has been made to
secure attendance of every mem
ber who can possibly arrange to
be present, while those who can
not attend have been asked to
seiN In messages of greeting.
The program will start at :30
with a turkey banquet served In
the banquet room, followed by th
lodge session, where the roll will
be called at which time response
either In person or by message. Is
expected from every member.
After the lodge meeting there
will be an Impromptu program of
music and vaudeville. Two aris

Herbert Hoover, outlined today be
fore the conference of governors a
pian lor tne creation of a; nation
wide construction reserve of 12.-

of over production and unemploy

Governor Brewster recommended,
that public authorities store-up a
reserve of construction (rrojects,
equal to two year's normal ex
penditure on improvements, and
release this reserve at time of
unemployment. Such a fund, he .
said, would be one of the best
forms of Insurance against na

t Cooperation Desired
"Theso views of the way in
which the status and other public
nuthorltles may cooperate with the

for the common good," said Cie
governor, "are presented to the

quest of Herbert Hoover as an au
thorized exposition of a portion of

"In requesting the presentation
of this project to the conference

sized the importance of establish

in accordance with the proposals
outllued at the time of the unem

said, is the next lesson America
