Han Formerly ldjudged In
sane Is in His Right
Mind Now

New York, Nov. 16.-H. Victor New
comb. at one time worth millions, and
a former president of the Louisville
and Nashville railroad. is making an
attempt TO regain possession OF the
remainder of his fortune. He had
been adjudged insane. Secret pro-
ceedings have been conducted in this
city in the Office of Peter B. Olney as
referee during the last three days to
prove that Mr.. Newcomb is Of sound
mind. An adjournment was taken yes
terday until next Wednesday morning
Mr.. Newcomb has been present at the
hearings.
The amount Of money at stake is
S275,000. Before his incarceration in
a sanitarium, on Aug /, 1899, Mr.. New
comb assigned all the balance of his
property to his wife and children. He
had been in a sanitarium twice before.
His wife is now a resident of Louis
vile, her native city. She lives with
her son Herman Danforth Newcomb,
a lawyer.
Mr.. Newcomb was discharged on Jan.

tarium, at Central Valley, Orange

was signed by the state board Of
lunacy, and was to the effect that he
was competent to take care Of himself.
He Immediately went to Europe, spend
ing most of his time in Germany and
Switzerland until last August, when
he sailed for America.
Mrs. Newcomb, her son and daugh-
ter Edyth, now the wife of Reginald
Henshaw Ward, residing in London,
it is said. will produce evidence to
prove that the husband and father is
not competent to have control Of what
is left of his fortune.
