Did Mary Lincoln need committal?

[Eva Elisabeth]

According to S. Schreiner, Arnold posed the following question to the second witness, Samuel Turner, director of the Grand Pacific Hotel, after he had reported Mrs. Lincoln had heard a voice speaking through the wall etc.:"Did Mrs.Lincoln look as though she had any fever that day? Was she flushed?" "No. Her face was as white as it is today. There was more an expression of fear than anything else about her - a fear of personal violence."
A second question he alledgedly posed to the last witness, Dr. Smith, was:"To what do you attribute the fact that, as you say, Mrs. Lincoln is not sound of mind?" "To the evidents of her recent past. I was with her at the time of Tad's death, you know, and I was afraid then that, coming on the top of all the other deaths in her family, it might be more than a mortal could bear. So it has proved to be." "Thank you, Dr. Smith."

The verdict Foreman Lyman Judson Gage read was: "We, the undersigned, jurors in the case of Mary Lincoln alledged to be insane, heaving heard the evidence in the case, are satisfied that the said Mary Lincoln is insane, and is a fit person to be sent to a State Hospital for the Insane; that she is a resident of the State of Illinois, and County of Cook; that her age is fifty-six years; that the disease is of unknown duration; that the cause is unknown; that the disease is not with her hereditary; thhat she is not subject to epilepsy; that she does not manifest homicidal or suicidal tendencies, and that she is not a pauper."
