The Cherokee Advance 29 May 1885 P 3 May 29, 1885
Victoria Brooks, a 14-year old negro girl who 10 years ago was bound to Mr. Thos. 
Peardon, was on last Tuesday adjudged to be insane.  A few weeks ago she 
attempted to poison Mr. Peardon by boiling up poison oak in his soup, and 
succeeded in making him quite sick.  It was this poisoning that led to her arrest 
and conviction as an imbecile.  Until provision can be made with the Asylum 
authorities for her admission she will remain with Mr. J. T. Sutton.
