One of his most interesting
studies is the case Of Robert Ir-
win, labeled "the mad sculptor"
who killed Veronica Gedeon, her
mother and a boarder on Easter
evening, 1887. Says DR.. Wertham,
There was one man in the case
who tried hardest of all to pre-
vent these murders. And that
man was Robert Irwin. He knew
he was mentally Ill and had pre-
sented himself 10 times within
four and a half years to the

of Albert Fish, the child murderer,
who had been picked up numerous
times over a period OF years, usu-
ally for contributing the the de-
linquency of minors. He was even
examined in phychiatric hospitals,
but no detective nor phychiatrist
ever put together the pieces of his
life story to discover that here

DR.. Wertham recalls going to
