On the difficulty of examination in epileptic psychoses and the connection of a dream with a crime
On November 29, 1884, the peasant Nikolai V. stabbed to death D., a worker at a potash factory rented by the merchant G. The murder, as the investigation found out, took place under the following circumstances:
On November 28, 1884, in the evening, the peasant Nikolai V. came to Fyodor N., who lived at the factory, and asked if the part of the land belonging to G., which his uncle Vasily wanted to buy, had been sold. It was late at night, Nikolai V. asked him to spend the night, which was allowed. V. went to bed in the kitchen, where the worker Dmitry P. stayed with him. There was no one in the kitchen except for the two of them. At night, Nikolai V. woke Fedor N. by knocking on the door and said that there were thieves walking around in the yard. N. jumped up, grabbed a single-barreled gun and ran out into the yard with it. Seeing no one there, he wanted to scare the thieves and fired, but there was a misfire, and he returned to the canopy. When he approached the porch of his apartment, his wife came out to meet him and gave him a revolver, and he handed her the gun. When she saw V.: and asked "what are you standing here and not going to look for thieves", he answered her "I'm afraid of something."
