The Life and Times of Dr. Miner

Dr. Miner was sent to Broadmoor Asylum for the criminally insane in 1872. He testified that on the night that he killed George Merritt, he woke up suddenly and saw a man standing at the foot of his bed. The judge told him, quote, you will be detained in safe custody, Dr. Miner, until her majesty's pleasure be known. But we need to describe what his life really was there. It was better than you might expect.
