New IoRK.-One of the most re.
markable freaks in the history of luna
cy vas made public when triplet sisters,

sett, were found to have suddenly be
came insane together.
J Two Of the women, Elizabeth. who
lives at 325 East Twenty-third street,
and Susan, of $50 Marcy avenue,
Brooklyn, are in the Bellevue Hospit-
oil, while the third, who lives at T.
Wall street, Brooklyn, is confined at
st. Johns Hospital, that city.
The case is the first on record at the
hospital, whore triplets have been dis.
covered to be crazy at the game time
Late Friday afternoon Susan and Eliza
beth Bassctt walked into Bellevue, and
Susan, at a private interview with Hr.
Wallace, said she feared that her sis
ter was hopelessly insane DR.. Walker
talked to Elizabeth and found the sis
tcr'S judgement correct.
SUSAN ALSO TAKEN CRAzY.
Susan went with her stricken sister
to the insane ward. and began To ov-
plain to Dir. Douglass, the physician in
charge, the nature OF her sisters all
ment, She talked nationally at first, but
finally became very excited and began
to be incoherent, The doctor watched
her closely, and Then, to the astonish-
ment of nurses and attendants, said:
"Why, this woman is II good deal
.~crazier than her sister, ] think her
history had better be taken also
Susan did hot seem surprised at the
announcement. \ friend, Mrs. Wood.
of Brooklyn, was informed, and she
told the third sister, who had been in
st, Johns Hospital several weeks, for
supposed nervous trouble.
V'hcn she was taken 10 Dr. Wallace
he discovered, to his astonishment, that
she, too, was a fit subject for an insane
asylum, She was all right when She
left st, Johns Hospital, and the physi-
clans think the sudden development of
insanity in her case was due to the news
of the condition of her sisters.
EACH THINKS THE OTHER MAD.
Mrs, Wood says that the triplets were
born in this city, of Irish parentage.
They are So years old. A feature of
the case is that each triplet thinks the
others insane, and stoutly denies hat
there is anything the matter with her
own mental condition. ::
