Adam spent most of his life in a mental institution. He was in the institution in Jackson, La. Adam was a small man in statue, but he loved to fight, and he was good at fighting. One story about him from Walter Boudreaux Sr. is a good example. One night at a dance in Pierre Part, La. Big Jim (name not known so I am using Big Jim) told the band that he didn't want to hear all that noise while he drank his beer. Big Jim was a big man so no one said anything about it. Later, Adam came in and asked why the band wasn't playing. They told him why and he said, "I'll take care of Big Jim, you go ahead and play your music." Big Jim was taken care of by Adam, but 2 deputies decided he had to be arrested. They couldn't take him in, so they went out and got 2 more deputies. The four of them finally got him in.
