M.E. Johnston Became Temporarily Insane; Doctors Suspect Brain Abscess, July 30, 1922

Man Temporarily Insane

Wilson, July 29—Friday evening, while Mr. M.E. Johnston, an employee in the Southern Express Company here, while dressing preparatory to attending a meeting of the enterprise lodge of Odd Fellows, became temporarily insane and bit his wife. Neighbors were called in, and it took five men to hold him in subjection. Two physicians were soon at his bedside, and it is thought that the trouble was caused by an abscess forming on his brain.

From The Raleigh News & Observer, July 30, 1922
