Time Served

The year 1909.

Carrie White, age 35 husband left her at the Florida Insane Asylum. The reason for her stay is recorded today as frivolous. A non-medical reason.
 She stayed with maniacs behind the same walls for 75-years.
In 1984 at 110 years-old she was released to a nursing home. Her guardian Marjorie Allen tells of White not recalling her time at the asylum.
   In the past year at the home when mentally alert Allen asked about her past. White's husband ,parents, and other such people. Allen noticed a wall went up as if White harbored resentment. (I can see that)

Cary Grant Clothes

I thought this was interesting.  (off my usual topic)

Grant thinks men were better off before clothes.

1964 Grant was named the best dressed. In the article he didn't like the title.
Quotes

"When the first stone age man took an animal skin it perhaps his first move towards civilization, and therefore the weakening of himself and physical potency." says Grant.

He add's

"But would have to grow hair on our bodies to keep warm."

"Men are simply dressed to create a background for women's attire. The dinner coat came into being for that reason . But when men are together in military uniforms or wherever the sexes are isolated in fashion they wear more colorful attire."


"Its better to go along with whatever they are doing than to call unnecessary attention to your self"


"The thing that baffles me about men and women in high fashion is the wearing of coats  that leave the neck and chest exposed to the elements. Its as extraordinary as golf carts on a golf course."

First Insanity Plea

Francis Scott Key's (Star Spangle Banner) eldest sons, Philip Barton Key, District Attorney in Washington D.C. had a reputation with the women.



However one woman would be his downfall.

Daniel Sickles,33, a lawyer married to,Teresa Bagioli,15.

Key became interested in Teresa. He started to spend time with her.
 Innocent meetings on the street soon swirled into a romantic affair. 

Key rented a house in a poor section of Washington so they could meet in private, avoid detection.

In spite of Key's precautions, their affair became well known. 

Yet someone whispered in Sickles ear and he stood waiting to see Keys.
The two men see each other on the streets.

Sickles fires a few rounds eventually hitting Keys in the chest killing him. 

Dan Sickles attorney Edwin M. Stanton who later became Secretary of War argued that Teresa's infidelity had driven him temporarily insane. 
The jury agreed and for the first time in American history temporary insanity was successfully used as a defense.

Verdict: Not guilty

First time in American history temporary insanity was successfully used as a defense to the charge of murder-     Wow for adultery !!!

Sneaky Arm

July 13, 1934 Tom was in the General Store waiting for the clerk when two armed robbers abruptly kicked the door open and pointed rifles at the customers.
 They demanded everyone shut their mouths, put their hands up and don't move.

Everyone followed orders except Tom. He just held up his right arm. The men thought Tom was trying to be sneaky and reach for a gun.
  Paranoid they shot him. Not realizing Tom's left arm was paralyzed from a previous gun shot. Tom survived.

True story.

Would of been easier to say "GET ON THE FLOOR!"      

Little Birds Count

By Pixaby.

Psychic

Blood Beach- a place some women should of avoided in the past. Instead it became their last stop on earth.


August 1920 Irene Munro a twenty something typist traveled to her annual vacation spot by herself. While walking alone she was hit in the head with a heavy object and buried.
    Children discovered a leg sticking up from a shallow grave a mile from her rental.
 
After months of investigations the police hire a psychic to connect with Irene's spirit. They gathered in the cabin and watch the medium perform her magic. The dark hair lady with intense eyes, calls to the spirit world.
    Everyone in the room hears Irene's soft voice speak through the mediums mouth. She describes how two men chased her down in the dark and beat her. They argued with each if they should kill her until one man named Gray took a boulder and smashed it over her head.

  A few days later the men were arrested.
They admitted to killing Irene . Both men claimed it was the others fault.However their reason was the same, money. Irene was robbed for $2.00.

  They were hung in the gallows.

Truth in the case: They thanked the psychic, however she didn't help solve the case. She may have been informed by a little bird.
 In England Margaret Damer Dawson , an anti-white slavery campaigner, and Nina Boyle founded the Women Police Service in 1914. Assisting the police they sent undercover women or children to spy on suspects. In this case a 12-year-old watched over the two men in question and gathered evidence.
