MRS. FIELDS SAD STORY.

lPoughkeepsie Special to New York World.
The sudden insanity of Mary E. Fields,
the wife of "Tom" Fields, of Tammany ring
notoriety, is surrounded with particulars of
the most mysterious character. She came
to this city about the time of the exposure
of the Tammany ring and lived very quietly
with different families. She always showed
great anxiety in regard to her child, fearing
he would be kidnapped, and even educated
him to run to his home every time he saw
strange man approach him, and the little
fellow learned to be always on the alert.
She frequently received letters containing
money, but whether from her husband or
not is not positively known. After awhile
the letters came less frequently and she be-
came pressed for means. Little by little
valuable trinkets were disposed of, but sud-
denly her income increased again, and it is
reported that money came through her New
York counsel, Mr.. Charles O'Conor. Her
anxiety in regard to her child, however in
creased at the same time. A week ago last
Monday strange and elegantly attired
woman called at the house at which she
lived and inquired for Mrs. Fields. who was
out, and waited two hours without seeing
her. When Mrs. Fields did return. and the
woman was described to her, she turned pale
and seemed IT, labor under great mental
anxiety: On Tuesday last it was first noticed
that she was in bewildered state of mind
She urged lady friend to accompany her to
New York to see her lawyer. When they
arrived in the metropolis, however, she led
her companion to the residence of Doctor
McSweeny, who was formally Mrs. Fields
pastor in Poughkeepsie. He was out, and
she proposed TO go home at once, saying, in
reply to an inquiry, that she had no business
with her lawyer. Friday last, when she
called on some friends, her bewildered condi-
ton had greatly increased. She was asked
to stay all night and did SO. During the
night she became raving maniac, and in
the morning endeavored to go ont in the
street en- deshdbille, and smashed plate
glass window in her efforts to do so. She
was finally dressed and then went out. She
stepped into several stores where she was in
the habit of trading, and charged different
persons with attempting to kill her by
poison. Finally she was secured and sent
to the Hudson River State Hospital for. the
insane. Her diamond ear rings, rings and
other jewelry could not be found where she
said they were and it is probable that in her
insane moments she tucked them in out-of-
the-way places. It is thought that tbs
mysterious woman who called to see her was
a Mrs. Garret who, it is alleged, is the mis-
tress of Fields. In one of her calm moments
Mrs. Fields said her sister Mrs. Todd told
her Mrs. Garret had been to see her and
told her some things which seemed to great
ly worry her. Last evening Mrs. Fields sis
ter came here and got the little boy, but
to-day Mrs. Fields friends regret having
given him up fearing that the sister viii
hand the child over to Tom Fields mistress
She is expected here again tomorrow when
probably some action will bo taken in the
supreme court.

in the number of medical officers would be
unwise, expensive, and to the injury of the
