THE MARLIN DEMOCRAT
Eighteenth Year - Number 54
Marlin, Texas, Wednesday, November 27, 1907
-----
INSANE THE SECOND TIME.
-----
Negro Discharged as Cured Is
Now Worse Than Ever.
-----

       Henry Overstreet, son of Boston Overstreet, is again in the county jail on a charge of lunacy.
       This is the second time within a few months that he has been thus arraigned.  He was tried, convicted and sent to the asylum in San Antonio.  He was discharged after being there a short time, came and was apparently well until Monday night, when he became a raving maniac and his actions gave his family a thorough case of fright.  He was brought to Marlin by Boston and is in jail.
       He was subdued with difficulty.  His relatives brought him in tied "hog fashion' as they said they did not propose to take any chances.
       The prisoner is a very wild man and the occupants of the county jail are kept in a constant state of terror by his weird demonstrations.
