'Portrait of J. T. aged 48.
This person was an officer in the Army — he married at the age of 21, is the father of a large family, and lived happily with his wife until six years ago, when he became insane and jealous of his wife, whom he has several times attempted to murder, and now when her name is mentioned he is violently agitated, at other times he conducts himself quietly, and is useful in the asylum of which he is an inmate.' |
