A INDUSTRIOUS CRIME.
rady Confined in Lunatic Asylum Thirty
Years Because She Was Extravagant.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 14.--N1iss Adrianna P.
Brinkle has just been released from the State
lunatic asylum, where she has been confined for
twenty seven years, on the extraordinary charge
of "extravagance and eccentricity." She is a
daughter of the late Dr. w. d. Brinkle, physi-
clan who enjoyed large practice and moved in
the highest circles of society here thirty years
ago. Miss Brinkle was an acknowledged belle,
a woman of great beauty and accomplish
ments and a popular favorite She was
extremely extravagant, but an unfortunate
change in the financial standing of her father
made it impossible for him to pay her bills as he
had done before. Adrianna was unable to over
come her extravagant tastes, and, without
knowing anything of the law in such cases.
ordered piano and set of furniture, which she
sold before paying for them. This conduct
scandazed the set to which the Brinkles be-
Onged, and as it was stated at the time, ito save
the family honor" Miss Brinkle was sent to the
asylum, entering the institution in July, 1858
At the twelfth annual convention Of the Chari-
ties Association in Washington, the following
was read by delegate:
IA beautiful and charming lady, used to
wealth, is eXtravagant, and her father reduced
in circumstances, finds himself unable to restrain
her habit o. spending puts her in hospital
needless OF her earnest protest. he dies, and
leaves her there; there she has been nearly
thirty years. and is now nearly sixty years of
age, and still begging to be released, but the
custodian still thinks she needs custodian care
and she remains to this day under restraint to
her personal liberty"
This led to an investigation and Miss Brinkle
was visited at the State lunatic asylum and the
committee reported that there was no evidence
of insanity in her case. But still no release
came. and the unfortunate woman almost
abandoned hope. The representatives of the
State committee on lunacy visited her, however,
and then the order came, and she was sent out a
free woman. On her arrival in this city she
was taken to the convalescents retreat, near
this city, where she is being tenderly cared for.
Miss Brinkle is gray haired woman Of sixty,
in possession of all her faculties.

EXUM SAINT.
His Explanation of that Illegal Pension Fee
Business.

PENSION Fee
Business.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON Aug IA good deal of aston
lshmenJ was expressed by Indianians here, to-
day, at the announcement that Exum Saint. of
Newcastle, had been appointed special examiner
in the Pension Bureau. 1t was stated by those
who knew him that he had been convicted, q few
years ago. of charging excessive attorneys fees
for collecting a widows pension, and it seemed
amazing that he should be given a responsible
position in the Pension Department of the gov
ernment. The Journal correspondent called to
see General Black, Commissioner of Pensions
this afternoon, and was informed that it was not
true that Saint had been appointed, although
the Civil-service Commission had certified that
he had passed a successful examination; that his
name had been sent in for appointment, and that
he was there ready to accept place when tend
dered to him. General Black took much interest
in the report being printed about Saints law
practice, and intimated that he would not be ap-
pointed, at least till everything was explained
satisfactorily
Saint was also found at the Pension Bureau
by the Journal correspondent. He acknowledged

would procure her pension. A pension was
finally procured for her. and the man paid 500

enemy, and had him indicted. Saint says he did
not violate the letter of the law but saw that he
would be caught on technicality and pleaded
guilty. He did not know that there were any
other indictments or charges against him. Saint
was much embarrassed, and feared he would be
defeated in his appointment. 1t looks as though
