Ralph Blakelock
Returned to Asylum
In Middletown, N. Y.
By BRIGGS

Ralph Albert Blakelock, the painter
whome fame found when his mind was
gone, is back at the State Hospital for
the Insane at Middletown, N. Y, paint
ing and bending wire into designs for
Jewelry. His excursion into the outer
world, which began September 6, 1915,
did not have the effect which his
friends had hoped.
His. delusions persisted. For months
admirers, who saw him only occasion
ally, were misled by the fact that his
conversation often failed to show the
mania of which he is a victim. and
they were led into the belief that
Blakelock would recover complete
command of his faculties and his
genius would fame again. After about
year OF freedom under the guardian
snip of Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Adams.
however, even the most sanguine had
to admit that Blakelock showed no i'm
provement.
He pa inted. During a trip to Lake
George he accomplished some studies
which critics said had merit, But thew
were not Blakelock paintings, as those
''~A lou brought thousands of dol
lars.
During his months in the world
considerable sum was raised for the
artists benefit through gifts bv
friends, but this was expended for his
comfort at the time. Part of it came
from the Twenty-third Street Y. M
q. A., where Blakelock had fvcd in
ms Gays of poverty. Compelled to
leave owing the institution, Blakelock
had left with it a painting which had
been forgotten until the painters re-
turn from the asylum brought it to
the attention of the Y. M. C. A. In
view of the circumstances the painting
was turned over to its author and sold
for him for $4,000.
Recently Blakelock has become pos
sessed of small but, for him. ample
sum, which is to be devoted to giving
him another vacation from the asylum
he will come out again within a few
weeks under the care Of Mrs. Adams
and John G. Agar. He is seventv-two
years old

The young woman, Mrs. Harriet Ship

Hannah stating that to the best of

who had married Miss Shipman in a
ceremony performed March "a, 1906. by

this was an affidavit from Waldo ].
