Negro and Wife Turn Lunatics in Georgia Court
Faronton Ga February 10 Special One of the strangest lunacy cases before Ordinary Adama revolved around Bill Pounds and his wife, both negroes near Stanfordville. They were adjudged insane and placed in the county jail until sent to an asylum. They set fire to their cabin and attacked white neighbor William Layson, attempting to shoot him as he tried to stop them. They now roam in a state of frenzy, stripping off clothes as fast as they are put on. The case may be tied to an inheritance dispute involving Pounds family. Some doctors suspect drug or patent nostrums may have triggered the condition.
