The Semi-Weekly Journal, Atlanta, Ga. September 30, 1901
Valdosta Boy Will Be Sent to the State Sanitarium.
Valdosta, Ga., Sept. 26 -- Will Carter, a young white man who has been in jail 
here for some time under the charge of stealing a suit of clothes from a 
roommate, was adjudged insane today and is to be sent to the state sanitarium 
at Milledgeville as soon as room can be secured for him in that institution.  
The young man has been acting very strangely for some time, but it was thought 
that he was only feigning insanity.  Deputies were placed in the jail to watch 
him closely without letting him know of their presence and their evidence 
showed conclusively that the prisoner is really of an unsound mind.  A jury was 
summoned and he was pronounced a fit subject for the asylum.
