The Francis Dedrick insanity case was disposed of by the Commissioners yesterday. The testimony showed that Dedrick is 28 years old, was in the Mt. Pleasant Asylum seven months in 1882, and taken out as cured. For the past eight or ten months he has been affected quite badly and at times has been violent. He is as single man and has no property. The family are afraid he will do violence. The Commissioners decided to send him to the Mt. Pleasant Asylum.
