Excerpt from Stela-Stiles TragedyThe great interest which the Sturla-Stiles tragedy has awakened, and the fact that it is replete with developments of character and phases of life which invite the attention not only of members of the Bar, but, equally of physicians and all thinking minds, has induced me to gather and prepare the following items of biography for publication, also to give a report of the trial and such thoughts in conclusion as have suggested themselves to my mind, not only in view of the tragedy detailed, but by a general survey of the corruptions existing in society at large.The trial as herein given was taken by an official reporter, on the occasion. The physicians who testified on both sides of the case are men of distinction pre-eminently high in their profession.Doctors Brower and Lyman have been practitioners for more than thirty years. Both have been, and still are, connected with institutions where the insane are treated, and stand equal in their profession with any physicians in the country. Their views on the question involved in the case and the medical and scientific authorities collected by them and cited herein, on the subject of insanity and irresponsibility, will be valuable both to the legal and medical profession.The hypothetical questions in the case are not only of interest to the professions, but are in themselves a romance The one used in the defense is not only the longest, but one of the most interesting ever introduced.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
