The Mad NAN of the Blue Mountain,

HORRIBLE TALE OF A IL YEARS SOLITARY CON-
FINEMENr IN THE WILDERNESS
[From the Reading Timesl
A strange and horrible tale comes to us from
Allentown Of man imprisoned on the Blue
Mountain in that section within four brick walls
about or feet high bricked over the top and
enclosing space of feet square without either
door or window. The discovery of his wherea-
bouts was accidentally made by q Mr.. Edward
Powell while out hunting. He saws the man
bricked up in that monumental coffin, and who
suffers death in life, is named Levi Handwerk.
and that he has been imprisoned at that
place for twelve years. 1t seems the father of
Handwerk died and left this son $4,000. He
was lunatic, subject to fits of ungovernable
rage, thereby endangering the lives of those
about him. The mother of Handwerk married
q second time and it was then that
Levi was consigned to thit dungeons
violent mailman. Here, if the details
of this horrible story be true, he has wallowed in
filth, his food passed through the small aperture
made by leaving out brick in the wall, exposed
to the severity of the winter weather, crying,
shrieking and yelling, when the storms have
swept over the mountain, and making night
hideous with his frantic cries. 1t seems
ndredible-impossible Yet, Mr. Powell rs
sures us of the brick dungeon and its inmate, and
gives the story of the prisoner as it was given
to him by the neighbors-some OF whom say,
that the last time he was seen he was perfectly
nude and his body covered with long hsir from
head to foot.
The motive for his confinema mt is that he is
not safe to be at large, and if he had been sent
to Lunatic Asylum, the $4,000 would have
been appropriated by the State to keep him.
