Towards the end of his life he went schitzo and made some proto-psychedelic works

On a trial cruise, they went up the Dniepr very nicely for some distance, till they turned to retire. Then the current caught them, and they were carried out to sea, whirled helplessly round and round, every soul on board helplessly incapacitated by vertigo.

Mugshot of Pep the dog who was "booked" into the Eastern State Penitentiary in 1924.
Along with the mugshot Pep's pawprints we're also taken, he was given an the inmate number C-2559, and was logged into the prison ledger as having received a life sentence for killing a cat.
In reality Pep's former owner was Gifford Pinchot who was the governor of Pennsylvania at the time. The governor freely gave the dog to the prison to boost inmate morale.
