This progress report contains the detailed answers to 1832 questions: two of them should suffice ... '672: What was Coates's conduct towards the other patients? - Very irritating; he argued with them on religious matters, and he was very nearly killed by one patient for calling the Virgin Mary a wh--e. 673: You have no doubt he was insane? - I think he must have been insane when he made that remark'.
