Description
By direct information Russell was charged in a first count with making an assault upon one Halligan with a deadly weapon with an intent to kill and murder. In a separate count in the same information Russell was also charged with so-called aggravated robbery, it being alleged therein that he forcibly stole, took and carried away a rifle, pistol, shotgun and currency from the person of one Mary Sarchet. To these charges Russell pled "not guilty" and "not guilty by reason of insanity." In connection with the plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, the trial court pursuant to statute committed Russell to the Colorado State Hospital, there to be observed and examined. After such examination one Dr. Karcher, a staff doctor at the Hospital, advised the committing court that in his opinion Russell was legally sane.
