Summary
[edit]DescriptionLow-grade Moral Imbecile D.jpg |
English: Case D. — A. S. Male ; aged 22, with a deprecating almost pathetic
expression of countenance, soft voice and gentle confiding manner. A sneak, and absolutely untrustworthy. When fully aroused, may be violent and even dangerous. An excellent worker in dining-room and laundry, understanding thoroughly the machines in use. An adroit thief and an accomplished liar. On one occasion when he was preparing for a visit home, a twenty-dollar note belonging to one of his attendants disappeared. Prior to leaving the house the boy was carefully searched but nothing was found. Within ten minutes, on his way to the station, he was recalled for another ex- amination and stripped to his shoes and stockings, I even running my hands over the latter without detecting anything. As he left the room, with tears and protestations of innocence, he could not resist giving me a sly, shifting look, and a glance at his leg. Turning down the stocking, there, plastered to the leg, the money was found. Stamps, paper, pens, and pen-holders disappeared from my desk and could not be traced. Some eight years after, searching his box for something, these were found securely packed away under a false bottom. The singular part of it all was that my office was inacces- sible, and in all these years he never had been seen anywhere in the building. These are only examples of his many depredations. Family history indefinite, except that the father, an old man who had married a young imbecile woman died of old age 2 years after child's birth. The boy himself, when 2 years of age, was run overby a street car. |
