TO SEND HIM TO AN ASYLUM.
Man Who Killed Arthur Jackson to
Escape Murder Charge.
Grover Cleveland Hammond, charged with the murder of Arthur Jackson, will not be tried in the criminal court. The prosecutor's office is convinced that Hammond is not "right" mentally and has asked the probate court to examine him and have him placed in some institution for the feeble minded.
Hammond and Jackson were both employed in the Kansas City Nut and Bolt works and Hammond killed Jackson because the latter had been teasing him by pouring hot tar down his back and tickling him.
