FROM THE TOMB.
A Woman Liberated from an Asylum
Where She Had Been lncarcerated for
81 Years by an Inhuman Father.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. IA.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. IA.
Miss Adrisnna Z. Bripckle. Just released
from the State Dunatic Asylum, where she
has been confined 81 years on the extrsordi.
nary charge of 'exIrsvsgsnce and eccentric
ity " She is the daughter OF the late DIR. VIM.
Draper Brinckle, physician who enjoyed a
large practice and moved in the highest cir
cles of society here 80 years ago Miss
Brinckle was an acknowledged belle, a
woman OF great beauty and accomplishments,
and popular favorite. She was extrayagant,
but an unfortunate change in the financial
standing of her father made il impossible for
him to paw her bills as he had done previous
To this. Adrianns was unable TO overcome
her extravagant tastes, and, without knowing
ANYTHING OF the law in such cases, ordered a
piano and set OF furniture, which she sold
before paving for them. This proceeding
scandallzed the set to which Brinckle be-
longed, and it was stated at the time TO .'save
the family honor" Miss Brinckle was sent to
the asylum, entering that institution July,
1858.
When the 18th national convention of char
tiles and corrections met in Washington, las.
June, one Of the delegates made the following
statement "A beautiful and charming young
lady, just out of her teens. used to wealth, is
exiravagant, and her father reduced in cir.
cumstances, finds himself unable to restrain
her habit of spen ing, concludes that she
needs custodal care, and places her in a
hospital, needless of her earnest protests.
He dies and leaves her there There
she has been nearly thirty years,
and is now nearly 90 years of age and
still begging to be released, but the custod-
ians still think she need ''custodial care" and
she remains TO this dav under restraint of her
personal liberty. This led to an investiga-
ton and Miss Brinckle was visited at the
State Lunatlc Asylum at Harrisburg and the
committee reported that there was no evil
dence of insanity in her case. but still no
release came and the unfortunate woman
almost abandoned hope. When represen-
tative of the State committee on lunacv Wis
lted her, however. she began to hope again
and her dreams of liberty were realized when
the order came from the committee and she
was sent out a free woman. Miss Brinckle
is now gray haired woman in full pos session
OF ali her faculties and in good bodily health
She will probably go to New York and spend
her declining years beneath the hospitable
roof of a friend who was loyal to her during
her imprisonment and who never relaxed her
efforts to secure her release.
