*This person has lived alone to years so it is impossible to give number of attacks or the date of the first. He is not violent, is simply strange in his actions, retiring and bashful-He imagines he has insulted ladies and begs their forgiveness. He is harmless but very simple almost an idiot. Cause of disease Masturbation. My information with regard to the particulars of this case is ????ari?y limited on account of the secluded habits of the person. He has been tried for "unnatural conduct" and dismissed on plea of insanity.
