Bad Health Results in Insanity
New York, 1895
Abraham Bessemer, residing on Union Hall street, Jamaica, has for some time been in failing health. Between the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock Saturday morning he got up and left the house unobserved by any one, and started for a walk, clad only in his night shirt. He was found walking barefooted in the snow on Fulton street by Officer Isenbrandt, who took him to the Town Hall. Saturday afternoon he was examined by Drs. Philip M. Wood and C. K. Beldin, who pronounced him insane.
