File:High-grade Moral Imbecile G.jpg

12 when entered the Training School. A tall boy with pleasant ex- 
pression and nice manners. Brown hair and eyes, and speech perfect. 
Could read, write, sing, and do simple hand-work. Did well in mili- 
tary drill, and in the band with a cornet. After leaving school did fairly well as a house-painter, but slow, took 2 or 3 days to do what 
an ordinary man would do in one. 

Reached his mental limit in sixteenth year and began to deteriorate, 
becoming erratic and peculiar. Became an adroit thief, an uncon- 
scionable liar, and vulgar and obscene to a degree ; was constantly 
exposing his person. Could not be trusted anywhere near a female. 

When 22 years old was removed by relatives. Giving trouble at 
home, was incarcerated in an insane hospital. Released on probation, 
his indecencies demanded his return. 

First-born, at full term ; ordinary labor ; nourished by mother, 
an imbecile, who in her sixteenth year was the victim of seduction, 
party unknown. Was treated cruelly by family during pregnancy. 
Maternal grandmother and grandfather both died of phthisis.
