On another occasion in Poland he chased his sister with a table knife although she had not done anything to him. In the summer of 1910 the defendant was at Morehouseville, and one day while there he was fishing at the stream that passes in front of the Mountain Home, when the flies and the punkies were biting very fiercely. He stood down there in his bare legs and bare head fishing and the flies biting him until the blood ran down his face and neck and legs. He was fishing there for fully an hour, and when asked if the flies had bothered him, he said "No." In 1911, when the defendant's father's stepmother was in Poland, the defendant was overheard to say to her, "Why didn't you marry my father, I would like you better than this stepmother." When the defendant was fifteen years of age, in the month of September, 1913, the defendant's father had him committed to the St. Vincent's Industrial School for juvenile delinquency, presided over by Christian Brothers, where he remained for about six months, coming home in February. A few weeks before the commission of the alleged crime, he was observed to be quarreling on Main Street in Poland with two very small children. At the age of sixteen years, in the early part of March, 1914, the defendant was noticed playing with a toy railroad car and building some tracks with some little irregular pieces of wood. He was also observed to play tag with children apparently from two to four years younger than himself. In the early part of 1912, the defendant's father observed that he was practicing masturbation. The defendant's father thereupon slept in the same room with him in order to watch him. The defendant continued this practice until the time he left home in the spring or summer of 1913 and admitted that he did it frequently.
