which necessitated restraint. At this she became very excited and
endeavored to break the wristlets and get out of the room, proclaiming
loudly that if she was going to have wristlets on she would rather be
back at Moundsville. She was not very communicative concerning her
return to the Hospital; told one of the nurses that she had "carried
on high" to get back, and that Moundsville was "a hell of a place."
The following day she begged continuously for hypodermics, complained
of headache and tried to produce emesis by putting her finger down the
oesophagus. When questioned, she answered promptly and intelligently,
but in a sullen manner; stated that on her return to the penitentiary
she was placed in a cell formerly occupied by the woman whom she had
killed, and that this made her nervous, and frightened her. She would
not sleep on the bed provided but used for sleeping purposes a box
intended for a table. She said she cried and prayed a great deal until
finally, after three weeks, was transferred to another ward. She said
that she behaved well and caused no trouble after having been removed
from the first cell and does not know why they transferred her over
here. Her entire sojourn here on this occasion was characterized by
irritability, impulsiveness and destructiveness to property. She was
fault-finding to a great extent and threatened the life of some of
those about her. She was surly, selfish, and showed a marked tendency
to lying. She was shrewd in her endeavors to get herself into the good
graces of those in charge of her and on one occasion stated that she
was pregnant in order to receive more considerate treatment. This,
like many other of her assertions, was false. She was oriented
throughout; memory good; no hallucinations or delusions could be
elicited; she was very unstable emotionally; reasoning and judgment
were defective. Her entire symptomatology was controlled and fashioned
almost wholly by her immediate environment. When refused a privilege
she would become surly, abusive and threatening to those about her,
would destroy everything she could lay hands on, and attack the nurses
when the opportunity was favorable. The granting of a privilege again
would serve to keep her in a rather tranquil mood. She remained this
time until June 21, 1910, when she was again returned to the
penitentiary at Moundsville. From information obtained from s
