"What is the first month of the year?" "March."

January."

"How does vinegar taste?" "Sweet."

"Count from 1 to 20." Counts very slowly and deliberately, omitting 11

"4 x 2 = 8; 8 x 4 = 28; 9 x 3 = 27; 7 x 4 = 24; 6 x 4 = 22; 6 + 7 = 13;
19 + 11 = 30; 7 + 8 = 14; 3 x 3 = 9; 4 x 2 = 12; 6 x 4 = 14;
5 x 2 = 10; 1 + 9 = 10; 9 + 11 = 21; 11 + 9 = 18; 50 + 5 = 11;
8 / 2 = 4; 27 / 9 = 4."

"Name the days of the week." "Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and
Saturday."

"Name them again." "Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and

In repeating a very simple story he changed the content entirely, and
omitted some of the most important details of it.

When we remember that this man was far from being as ignorant as some
of the above answers would suggest, and that, while he unquestionably
suffered from a psychosis, his state of consciousness was altogether
too clear to justify a degree of lack of touch with his environment
such as his replies would indicate, it becomes quite obvious that he
malingered. This, together with his dangerous tendencies, determined us
to return him to the penitentiary, which was done on April 11, 1911.

He reached the penitentiary on April 13, and on the night of April 20
he began preaching in a loud tone of voice, claiming that he was the
son of David, and that he was called upon to go forth and preach to the
world. He was removed from his cell to the isolation building, where he
refused to take nourishment until April 23. During this period he spent
most of the time preaching and singing religious songs, and at times
would hold long and heated arguments with some imaginary person, always
on religious topics. From the above date until his transfer to the
Government Hospital for the Insane on September 24, 1911, he continued
in a very disturbed and destructive state, refusing food frequently
for several meals in succession, preached, sang, and cursed in turn,
gave voice to the various delusional ideas manifested above, and gave
objective evidence of suffering from hallucinations. Throughout he
strongly maintained that he did not want to return to the hospital at
Washington, as there was nothing wrong with him mentally.
