othing that transpired during the period since his arrest, and a day or two ago, when he began to see things more clearly; complains of pain in back; does not know where he is, and thinks he came here yesterday. "What is your name?" "E. E." "Age?" "I will be 33 the 16th of this coming April." "When were you born?" "In 1879." "What is your occupation?" "I am supposed to be a huckster." "Where were you born?" "At Columbus, South Carolina." "What day is this?" "Sunday." (correct) "Date, month and year?" "It's the 9th month, 1911, I don't know the date; I have not seen an almanac." "What is the time?" "I don't know, sir; I think it is pretty near one o'clock." (correct) "Where did you come from?" "I don't know where I came from; they hit me over the head." "When did you come here?" "I don't know; I look out of that building that looks like the House of Rep." (After studying the surrounding country a while, says:) "Let's see, this must be Anacostia, ain't it; I never was out here before." (correct) "How long did it take you to get here?" "I don't know, sir." "Name of this place?" "You've got me now." "Where is it located?" "It seems to be in Anacostia, the way I can figure it out." (correct) "What sort of a place is it?" "Well, to my judgment, it looks as though it's all right." "Who are these people about you?" "I don't know, sir." "Is there anything wrong with them?" "Well, I don't know, I am afraid to say; I don't know the nature of anybody but myself." "Why do you suppose you are being asked these questions?" "Well, I think it is to sound my knowledge." "Why were you sent here?" "I don't know, sir." "How do you feel?" "I feel all right, with the exception of my back." "Are you happy or sad?" "Well, I am neither one." "Are you worried about anything?" "No, sir." "Did anything strange happen to you for which you can't give yourself an account?" "I can't understand what happened to me, or why I am here." "Do you hear voices talking to you?" "No, sir." "Do you see any strange things?" "No, sir, I don't see anything strange, only my surroundings." "Do you ever have fits or convulsions?" "No, sir." "Did you ever try to commit suicide?" "No, sir, and ain't never going to try it."
