AN INSANE DOCTOR
NEW YORK, August 13. At Marietta Dr William Dabney, who was becoming gradually insane, attempted to perform vivisection while a patient was undergoing an operation on the jaw. The others doctors who were present, seeing Dabney’s action, remonstrated with him. Dabney refused to listen, and proceeded to cut the man’s face. The nurse ran shrieking for help, but the other doctors overcame Dabney, who was removed to an asylum, where he has just died after a nervous collapse.
