The most peculiar case Of insanity
for many years was developed at st.
Paul by the arrest of johanna Lind
berg, woman As years old: The cause.
of her insanity is excessive coffee drink
ing, and Johanna is what the doctors
call a coffee drunkard.' It was
brought out in the examination that.
for years she has been fond OF coffee.
The fondness has become gradually
greater, until recently she would drink
from 80 to 40 cups of coffee day.
She is said to be very violent, and her
husband testified that she had threat
ened his life number of times This,
he held, was no idle threat, as she is a.
large, powerful woman, who in fren-
~ of rage could easily overcome his
strength. When she was brought into
court she was in a seeming stupor. Her
hair was disheveled and part of her
clothing had been torn off in the at
tempt to get away from her captors.
She was committed to the insane asy-
lum at Rochester.
