"Streeter's wife decided to leave him because of his insane threats and suspicions. When she started a suit to do so, he cut her throat as well as his own, though he survived. His death sentence was commuted to life imprisonment" [McDade]. Phrenological information is provided. "The disordered mind of Milton W. Streeter" is described in detail. As Cohen points out, the book is "An early psychological approach to a domestic murder, in which the reader's sympathy is developed for both the victim and the murderer, the latter having been deprived of a Christian upbringing" [Cohen].
