When the Twelfth National Conference
OF charities and corrections met in Wash.
ington last June one ot the delegates made
the following statement: "a beautiful
and charming young lady used to wealth
is extrayagant and her father, reduced In
circumstances, finds himself funable TO re.
strain her habit Of spending, concludes
she requires custodial care and places
her in hospital in spite Of her earnest
protests. 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 tho Gus:
todian still thinks she needs custodial
care and she remains to this day under
restraint OF her personal liberty"
This led to an investigation and Miss
Brinckle was visited at the asylum at
Harrisburg and a committee reported that
there was no evidence Of insanity in her
case, but still no release came and the un.i
fortunate woman almost abandoned hope
The. representatives Of the State com.
mittee onlunacy visited her, however, and
then the order came and she was sent ont
a free woman. Upon her arrival in this
city she was taken TO the Convalescenfs
Retreat, near Glen Mills, where she is be-

now a gray haired woman OF sixty, in the
full possession OF ell her faculties and in
