Anton J. Cermak of Chicago Now in Grave Danger
pneumonia Developed Saturday j and His Doctors Have Grave Fears of his Death
ZANGARA IS DANGEROUS
whether He is Sane or Insane is ! Purely a Matter of Legal Interpretation
Miami- Feb. 28�Physicians attending Mayor Cermak, of Chicago, announce sufficient improvement in the patient's condition to warrant the dis-contiuance of the oxygen treatment. They assert the patient has now an even chance for recovery.
Miami. Feb. 27�Joseph Zangara, the n^n who attempted the assassination of president-elect Roo3evelt, may face a'charge of murder. A week ago the condition of Anton J. Cermak, mayor of Chicago, became alarming, but on Saturday night his friends began to j have cbnfld?hc-7 ?~ahi that, he woulr pull through. On Sunday, the compli- j cation attending physicians feared re" in and the announcement was made j Mayor Cermak was suffering from j pneumonia. In his weakening condi-! tlcn resulting from loss of blood from ': wound in the right lung, the., mayor's condition became more throat- I eniing than at any time since. he was: shot down. On Sunday night his physicians said the most favorable statement that could be issued with respect to his condition wa-s that it would be a case of touch-and-go whether Mayor Cermak could be pulled I through.
The alienists report on Zangara does not, state definitely whether the would- I be assassin should be considered sane or otherwise. The report, signed by I, H. Agos and T. Earl Moore, Miami. psychiatrists, says:
"The examination of this individual; reveals a perverse character, wilfully wrong, remorseless and expressing contempt for the opinions of others. While his intelligence is not necessarily inferior, his distorted judgment and temperament Is incapable of adjust-! ment to the average social standards.:
"He is inherently suspicious and I anti-social. Such ill-balanced erratic' types are classified as a psychopathic personality. From tihis class are recruited the criminals and 'cranks.' whoso pet schemes and morbid emotions run in conflict with the established order of society."
Dr. Argos commenting on the report said "the question of applying the term 'sane' or 'insane' to such misfits is purely a matter of legal -interpretation or expediency, which the HWrts are privileged to decide."
"Such types a.s Zangara are an old' social problem." he said. "It is a! matter, in justice to the normal mem-1 .bers of society, to ly> managed"^ best' �^ legal and social systems permit." j
Zengara is already under sentence � of eighty years for the shooting of four Persons in the vicinity of tho Rocse- | veK automobile, but this will not pre- : v'ent hLs trial upon the charge of j jjurder in the case of the death of] Mayor cermak.
