An excellent set of quotes from Stiffs & Gifts:
"The deceased never married. Born in 1896, she lived with her parents until their death about 1928, and seems to hav had a normal childhood. She was devoted to both her parents and they to her. Her admiration and love of her parents persisted after their death to 1934, at least. Yet four years later she wrote: 'My father was a corrupt, vicious, and unintelligent savage, a typical specimen of the majority of his sex. Blast his wormstinking carcass and his whole damn breed.' And in 1943, she inscribed on a photograph of her mother 'That Moronic she-devil that was my mother.'"

"Mr. Brem testified... 'Mr. Wright often chased the children out of his yard and turned his hose on them and the children in the neighborhood were afraid of Mr. Wright.' He did not explain why they often returned to his yard if they feared him."
