Strange story at an InsananNian.

| heard a remarkable story in an up
town club II few nights ago. Ii was
told 10y prominent New-Iurkcr. The
talk had reverted to lunatics and to the
possibility of sane persons being in
carcerated in insane asyhlms.
You have all cited eases of sane per-
sons being locked up, said this gentle
man. Now let ME tell you an instance
of an insane person who once escaped.
He had been confined in an asylum
in an ad jacent State for some time.
The keepers got negligent. and during
one of their lapses of vigilance the per-
son in question escaped.
He came direct to New York, and
having met me socially several years
before looked ME up. knew nothing
about his mental condition at the timo
and there was nothing unusual in his
manner.
Il introduced him in my club and
vouchcd for him at the hotel where he
had engaged a suit of rooms. He lived
like Il prince for week. running up
big bills.
"Of course this thing could not go TN
for any length of time. and at the cx-
piration Of week the asylum authors
ties had gotten trace Of him and trac KIDD
him to New York.
"They came on and took him in Gus
tody. He was entertaining a party Ut
newly made acquaintances at the club.
You would never have imagined that
he was a crazy man unit. he set eyes
upon the madhouse keepers.
Then he broke into Il wild laugh, .
strange light sprang to his eyes. and
everybody realized instantly that he
