special dispatch to the New York World
from Rondout, March 81, Says:-A poor washer
woman who has been at work for Thomas Muir
ply. about mile east OF Stamford, Delaware
about seventeen years OF age. He is not very
bright, but is harmless, and the village BOYS
have been In the habit of tantalizing MIN with
stories OF ghosts and robbers. On last Satur-
day evening he was sent by Mr.. Murphy to
Thomas Dooleys, about mile below the VII
lage. He stopped at one OF the stores In the
village TO get some one to accompany him,
but failing In this he started on alone. After
proceeding short distance he met couple
OF men and went back, going into Sheely'S shop.
While there the boys, after telling him a lot Of
stories, concluded to scare him. John Dignan
and VIII Stewart went to the railroad cross
ing and hid behind fence. z. L. Seeley went
along with young Smith, and when near the
crossing the two conspirators sprang out, yell
Ing and throwing snow. Seeley ran back, pre-
tending to be greatly scared. Andy was terri
bly, frightened and jumped into the creek, hiding
under the bridge. The boys then went after
him, brought him back to Seeley'S and attempt.
ed to reasSure him, telling him they only did it
TO play joke upon him, but he was wild with
fear and could not be pacified. He finally went
back with some of the boys to Murphy's, where
he became SO crazy that the neighborS had to
be called in to help hold him. His whole talk
was OF robbers and murdererS, OF whom he was
in mortal fear. On Sunday DR.. Gallup pro-
nounced him a raving maniac. No one could
pacify him, and frequently his frenzy was so
bounds. To-day his condition is still extremely
bad
