His name wus Gaskins; I hed him up fer mayhem onct. I'll bet he's the duck, for he hung round Jack's place most o' the time. Whatcha want me ter do?" "It has seemed to me, Tim," I said, thoughtfully, "that the best action for us to take will be to let them place the girl in my hands, just as they have planned to do. That will throw them entirely off their guard.
"You're a sly one, you are," George gloated "always signin' your name 'P. Sybarite' and pretendin' your maiden monaker was 'Peter'! But now we know you! Take off them whiskers Perceval!" A really wise mind-reader would have called a policeman, then and there; for mayhem was the least of the crimes contemplated by P. Sybarite.
Often the name of the supposed victim doesn't appear; and where names and specifications are given, the evidence is hardly sufficient, as a rule, to convict the insect of any crime more serious than mayhem. For example, a young woman in Brooklyn awoke one morning to find a swollen spot on her body. Some ten days later she died. For a long period she had been in ill health.
I forebore to inquire what variety of mayhem he had committed on the "gentleman." After considerable struggle I got him confirmed by the Senate, and he made one of the best marshals in the entire service, exactly as he had already made one of the best soldiers in the regiment; and I never wish to see a better citizen, nor a man in whom I would more implicitly trust in every way.
"You jackanapes, I tell you that I swore and stole and forged and burned four houses and broke the Sabbath and was guilty of mayhem and spoke disrespectfully to my mother and worshipped a stone image in Porutsa. I tell you I shattered the whole Decalogue, time and again. I committed all the crimes that were ever heard of, and invented six new ones."
Roundjacket, relapsing into the pathetic "see how my unfortunate offspring has been mangled maimed a statutory offence mayhem! see Bacon's Abridgment, page ; but I wander. See," continued Roundjacket, "that is all that is left of the original." "Yes, sir," said Verty. "The very first line is unrecognizable." And Roundjacket put his handkerchief to his eyes and sniffled. Verty tried not to smile.

One expects a man to fight fair by instinct, and to turn to fouls if he does in desperation only. But Joe's personal opponent hadn't tried a single fair trick. It was as if he'd never heard of a fist blow, but only of murder and mayhem. Joe felt an individual enmity toward him.
The usual motive for crimes against the person assault, manslaughter, mayhem, murder, etc. is the desire to punish, or be avenged upon another by inflicting personal pain upon him or by depriving him of his most valuable asset life.
The crewmen weren't doing so well but they were coming up the corridor fast enough. I could have wrung Muller's neck. Normally, in case of trouble, cutting gravity is smart. But not here, where the crew already wanted a chance to commit mayhem, and had more experience than the scientists.
