- defendant crawled over sleeping husband and attempted to rape wife lying beside him
- “Whether an act was caused by a diseased mind is to be determined primarily from the indicia presented by the act itself, and then from the results of an examination of the physical, moral, and mental condition of 16 the accused before, at, and after the act in question.” (emphasis added)
