Haggerty. 3S. of S3 West Knd avenue, Binghamton, who forced his way Into St. James' church early-yesterday morning, where he was found at, 3 o'clock by Police Officer Laurence Pert, apparently praying at the altar, was adjudged insane by a commission in lunacy, late yesterday afternoon, and committed to the Binghamton State Hospital. The commission in lunacy, consisting of Dr.

Charles S. Wilson and Dr. Rollin O. Crosier, questioned relatives of the unfortunate man at police headquarters yesterday afternoon. The relatives declared that no trace of insanity had ever existed in the family, but admitted that Haggerty had been acting strangely for about three months.

They said he appeared harmless enough in his motorists who claim to be unable to turn the corners around the new traffic beacons at Grand avenue and Baldwin street and at Main and Arcli streets, without backing up to complete the turn. The principal complaint, the police say, is that the motorists are obliged lo slow down to low speed in making the turns, around the signals. ubviously, the officials say. that is just the purpose of the signals so that the complaints are not taken Other cars parked too near the street corners at intersections, where the signals have been placed, might hinder drivers in executing the turns, even at low spced.the officials admit, and some step will undoubtedly be taken to restrict parking at street intersections.
