Jnerman Newman, a Cripple,
Had Reputation of Being the
Most Troublesome Inmate of
Sailors Institution.
MISFORTUNE HAD MADE
YOUNG MAN M0ROSE
Had Been Injured in Explosion
on OIL Tank Steamer, Losing
a Leg and Arm and Barely
Escaping with His Life.

Herman Newman, long known an ths
most troublesome inmate of Sailors
Snug Harbor, on Staten Island, rid the
Institution Of himself early to-day by
sending a bullet into his brain.
Newman, who was only twenty~nine
years old, was the youngest innate OF
the place, having been taken there be-
cause he had lost an arm and q leg IN
the explosion of a can of naphtha on q
Standard OIL tank steamer three years
ago.
Fire was discovered in one of the
compartments and Newman was the
bravest OF the crow. fighting the fire
until he had 1t confined 10 a narrow
space. thus saving the ship.
But as he left the burning compart-
ment his own clothes were on fire, and
as he passed a can OF naphtha embers
dropped on It and the explosion was
the result. His left arm and left leg
were torn of.
No Home Nor Friends.
Fol a long time It was thought he
would die. but with remarkable grit
he recovered and being without friends
or home he was sent to Sailors Snug
Harbor.
Since his residence at the Harbor he
had given the officials more trouble
than most of the other inmates com
bined OF ar excessively aggressive dis
position he was quarrelsome n kept
the officials continually arbitrating his
roubles with other inmates.
Frequently he was punished according
&c the rules OF the institution, but II
seemed to do him ne good. He would
no more than expiate the penalty for
one ofrense than he would be in con-
tempt again for another.
His most serious act was three months
ago, when he brutally assaulted q much
older inmate with his crutches. The
condition of his victim was such and the
assault was Of so serious g. nature that
the Governor OF Sailors Snug Harbor
turned him over to the Richmond
County authorities and he was convicted
OF assault n sentenced to imprison-
msnt in the Richmond County jail.
Returned to Institution.
From there he vas released only ten
lays ago and was taken back into the
big home on his promise to reform. He
was afforded commodious quarters and
the officials. believing he had reformed.
tried to make his return agreeable to
him.
But his reform made him cheerless. He
was morose and brooded over his
crippled condition and the fact hat few
Of the other inmates would have any
thing to do with him.
He retired as usual last night. The
dormitory was still and dark when the
building was aroused by a pistol shot.
and In a minute the officers discovered
that Newman had shot himself. How
he got the weapon is not known, as he
had no money. out 1t was believed to-
day hat he had obtained 1t from the
officers quarters.
As Newman had no relatives or
friends the body will be buried in the
plot set aside for the old sailors.
