...testified that he had been engaged to the girl, three years ago, but had broken off the engagement when he found she was more enamored of a certain Heidelberg student. Fraulein Schmidt testified that her seduction by Bergdoll had taken place before their engagement. She was not, however, able to recall clearly the circumstances which she alleged and contradicted the testimony of her mother upon several points. Finally Professor Hans Gruhle, head of the Psychoanalytical Clinic of the University of Heidelberg, testified that he had examined the girl and found her "of subnormal mentality and untrustworthy."

...German professor named Farini found Krao in Siam in 1883. Mountaineers declared that the devil in the shape of a baboon had frightened her mother before her confinement. Intrigued by the story and charmed by the gentle manners of the bearded girl, her shy looks and silences, Professor Farini took her to Berlin and had her finely educated.
