From the July 9, 1875 Brooklyn Daily Eagle:

“An insane man was found wandering about the thoroughfare in the Twelfth Precinct yesterday evening by Officer Bedell who took him into custody. When in the station house he insisted upon lecturing the Sergeant upon the condition of his soul, and told him that he was ‘eternally damned.’ He said that his name was Jesus Christ, that he never had any other name, that he was born in Connecticut, was an Irishman, twenty-eight years old and a baker by trade. The Sergeant said the man was not ugly at all but decidedly crazy on religious matters.”
