311; Merritt v. State, 39 Tex. Cr. R. 70, 45 S. W. 21; In re Gannon’s Will, 2 Misc. Rep. 329, 21 N. Y. Supp. 960.—Paranoia. Monomania in general, or the obsession of a delusion or system of delusions which dominate without destroying the mental capacity, leaving the patient gene as to all matters outside their particular range, though subject to perverted ideas, false beliefs, and uncontrollable impulses within that range; and particularly, the form of monomania where the delusion is as to wrongs, injuries, or persecution inflicted upon the patient and his consequently justifiable resentment or revenge. Winters v. State, 61 N. J. Law, 613, 41 Atl. 220; People v. Braun, 158 N. Y. 558, 53 N. E. 520; Flanagan v. State, 108 Ga. 619, 30 S. E. 0. Paranoia is called by Kraepelin “progressive systematized insanity,” because the delusions of being wronged or of persecution and of excessive self-esteem develop quite slowly, without independent disturbances of emotional life or of the will becoming prominent, and because there occurs regularly a mental working up of the delusion to form a delusionary view of the world,—in fact, a system,—'eading to a derangement of the stand-point which the patient takes ap towards the events of life.Homicidal mania. <A form of mania in which the morbid state of the mind manifests itself in an irresistable inclination or impulse to commit homicide, prompted usually by an insane delusion either as to the neceasity of self-defense or the avenging of injuries, or as to the patient being the appointed instrument of a superhuman justice.
