Crazy Surgeon Kills Woman Under Knife

Berlin. —The remarkable case of a doctor going insane during an operation is reported from Schwerin. Councilor Surgeon Gebhard, while performing a minor operation on a woman, suddenly was seized with the hallucination he was in a clinic dissecting a cadaver. Doctor Gebhard accordingly cut up the woman, who died on the table. On another occasion he cut off a soldier’s arm and then failed to take measures to prevent the soldier from bleeding to death. Doctor Gebhard now is in a Berlin sanatorium.
