CRAIGMILES Jr., Wesley – (d. 1924)
Cleveland — Wesley CRAIGMILES Jr., a negro, aged 17, is dead of pneumonia, brought on by exposure during a temporary fit of insanity which followed the purchase and devouring of about 75 oranges. He purchased a basket of 50 oranges at a sale where the fruit was sold at one cent each. After eating these he was not satisfied, but went back and bought 25 more oranges which he also devoured. Physical trouble, brought on by the eating of so much fruit in a limited time may have brought on the fit of temporary insanity, according to Dr. T.R.D. STEVENS, colored, who attended the boy.
