SANE BUT SHUT
UP IN ASYLUM

New York, Oct. PA story of bit
ter injustice, and one that may lead
to an investigation of insane asylums,
has just come to light. Mary Lake, a
pretty young woman, after being shut
up in an asylum fifteen years, has
been set at liberty. Physicians de-
clare she never was insane.
In 1886 she was taken to tne state
institution for feeble-minded children
IL Syracuse. She was treated there
until she became Of age, and then re-
moved to an asylum in Newark, N.
Y. Last September the Newark au-
thorities said she was violent, and ar
engagements were made to bring her to
Stapleton, L. l. On her arrival at Sta
pleton she was found to be perfectly
sane. While in the asylum she had
educated herself.
Il have had to spend my life as a
predetermined person." said Mary
Lake yesterday because did not have
any one to take me out. l know why
they said 1 was insane at the last
place. 1t was because l complained of
i'll treatment and threatened to appeal
to Governor Oden.'
Miss Lakes father was sent to Sing
Sing in 1883. She became a public
charge and was sent to an asylum un-
der the belief that she was feeble
minded.
