the police how he walked into a sa-

AS he left the saloon he was in turn
held up by two companions and had

New York.=Samuel II. Haslett, the
hermit of Brooklyn, is dying in bis
House OF Mystery" No 1873 Remsen
street, and the circumstance has
opened for the first time in 20 years
the mansion he occupied alone and
revealed an amazing condition Of filth
and dilapidation.
The magnificently furnished house
was two inches thick with dust. and
$4,000 in currency that Uttered the
floor was swept into corners. or lay
under thick dust in the Railways.
There were two bushels OF unopened
mail overlooking from unique brass
jsrdiniere. and letters and parcels
we're tossed and heaped in place, and
then never disturbed. There were
boxes and kegs of gold and silver
coins. and there were thousands OF
richly bound books that had never
been opened. heaped in various rooms
in the dismal dwelling.
Doors Are Opened.
1t was not by the win OF the aged
Mr.. Haslett that the doors Of his
home were opened to the outside
world. When his wife was burned to
death. rs years ago. he sealed himself
in his palatial home, and from that
day until few nights ago no foot
other than his own ever stepped inside
OF 1t.
The other night he went to the
home Of his lawyer. John B. Lord. tc
consult about the estate of his sister
who had died February 8, In Corn
wall, N. Y. Miss Haslett had left him
her great fortune and another house
of mystery" at Clinton and Joralemon
streets. Brooklyn.
In all the years he looked after his
affairs, Mr.. Lord had never been al
lowed to enter the Haslett mansion
Haslett went to him either in his home
or his offices. On the night referred
to the old man was only lightly clad
and he suffered from cold. His feet
froze and he tumbled unconscious into
the areaway of Lords home.
Almost Swoon.
1t was through this accident that
the Remsen street mansion was
opened by others than the owner. The
moment physicians and nurses who
had been summoned stepped into the
place they almost swooned in the sti
fling atmosphere
The gas was not turned on and the
invaders had to light their way with
candles. Passing through the great
grime-coated rooms, they found 6
large chamber on the third floor, II
which the millionaire hermit hat
sealed himself, as If in a cave, for the
last quarter Of century. 1t was the
only room, 1t seemed, In which he
had set foot after the body Of his wife
had been carried to the cemetery.
After exploring the interior OF the
widowed mansion. 1t was decided t.
assign the task OF cleaning 1t to {
vacuum cleaning concern. and before
this was done 1t was necessary to &c
through the rooms with a rake anc
collect the coins and bills that were
scattered everywhere. In some OF the
dust heaps were found bonds and Ger
tificates of stock. bundles Of letters
and time-yellowed manuscripts.
