DWIGHT WASHBURN IS DEAD
SECRET OF HIS HIDDEN MONEY
 GOES WITH HIM.
Passes Away at the Middletown Asylum.
 Having Grown Steadily Worse-Tho
 Money Thought Not to be Destroyed.

Money Thought Not to be Destroyed. Seymour, Jan. 2.-Dwight Washburn. who for several months has been an in- mate of the insane asylum at Middle- town, died at that institution Saturday morning, aged forty-six years. Word was sent by the authorities to his reI- atlves here and arrangements were made for bringing the body to Sey- mour. Undertaken Ward sent for the body this morning, and it was brought to Seymour during the day. The fun-A eral will take place from w. U. Wards undertaking rooms tomorrow.
 MT. Washburn, it will be remembers ed, was the man who successfully hid his entire cash account so that 1t haSl never been found. In answer to all fr1. quiries he persisted in saying that he threw 1t into the Housatonic river at! squantuc. This is not believed to be the truth, however, as he was, even ir18 the time of his insanity, careful of hin. money, and it is likely that he secreted' it elsewhere.
 For a long time he had acted strange-3 ly, the result it is supposed, cl Ia tree falling upon his head while he was cut- ting it down, causing a dangerous ill., ness, the effects of which were perma- nent. He constantly imagined designs| were being made upon his life by hin relatives to secure his money.
 He lived alone and his solitary mode of life produced moroseness. HiS| neighbors on the Oxford road feared him, and he was placed in the retreat at Middletown. His condition grew steadily worse, and although he was not, considered dangerous and was given a considerable amount of liberty, heI would take no food, which consequently had to be given him through g nasal tube His death soon relieved him of| his suffering.
 MT. Washburn was the son of George Washburn, and always resided in tho homestead on the Oxford road during. his life there. The family is an old one and is highly respected in this vi-S cinity. His ancestors were among thu; earliest colonial settlers in this vicinity. He leaves brother George. HI. Wash-s burn, of West street, and two sisterSsa Mrs. Smith Wheeler of White Hills and Mrs. Llewelyn Andrews of Oxford
