Brinckle. now nearly | 60 years of age. has just regained her freedom from the State Lunatic Asylum at Harrisburg, after ap experience it has fallen to the lot of few mortals to | undergo. Thirty years Addie | Brinckle was a reigning belle of this city. Her father, Dr. William Draper Brinckle, was a physician in large prac- tice and moving in the highest circles | ago of society. His dwelling was on Girard | f row, orn the north side of street, between Eleventh and Twelfth, then one of the most fashionable of the city. His daughter, christened Adrianna P. Brinckle, was the queen of Pp \ris 1 2 select cir Life was as a dream to the young beauty until misfortune fell upon her father, who in 1854 lost the bulk of his fortune through an un- | fortunate business connection. wera 80 reduced that His resources a the house on Girard row was given up and the family divided, Addie remov- ing toa boarding house on Eleventh Her mother | died two vears later and she was thus A 3 street, below Sansom. left to her own guidance. Always ac- customed to an extravagant manner of living, she did not self to her altered position in life, Debts accumulated upon her hands and to the f annoyance of she sold a piano and other accommodate ber free herself from sreditors furniture she had purchased but had not paid for. The dealer from whom | she had procured the goods brought | suit to recover bis money and by means f this proceeding Dr. Brinckle became ware of his daughter's extravagance. She had removed to another boarding | house and wasliving on a small annuity she received from the estate of an aunt, Her father accompanied by a Dr. | MeClellan and John Woodward, he uncle, a wealthy mananfacturer, visited | her at her new abode and represented | that, to save the family boaor, it was r necessary that she be declared insane and placed in an asylum. Otherwise, | he said, she would be liable to a prose cution on the charge of obtaining goods on false pretences. Dr. McClellan then filled out a certificate, which he and Dr. jrinckle signed. On July 13, 1858, the | young lady was removed to the State | Lunatic Hospital, at Harrisburg, and there confined, and there until within | a few days ago she has remained treat- | | | } i ed as an insane person, while all the | records in the case point to the conclu- sion that her only fault was frivolity | and extravagance, the natural result of | her training and early associations, That she did not end her days in the asylum is due to the newly.awakened interest on the part of the Board of Public Charities in the subject of the insane wards of the State, the commit- tee on lunacy, of which Mr, Garrett is chairman, having recently made a tour through the various institutious, ex. amining into every complaint, remedy- ing a great many errors and in the case under consideration righting a most ter- tible wrong, The investigation of the committee into Miss Brinckle's case resulted in the following report, dated June 11, 1885, and signed by Philip C, Garrett, Dr. Thomas G, Morton and Dr Andrew J. Ourt; The undersigned, officers and members of the committee on lunacy of the Board of Public Charities, baving each personally examined Miss Addie P. Brinckle, =» tient in the State Lunatic Asylum at arrisburg, Pa., find no evidence of exist. iny insanity and declare it as their opinion that she should be discharged from said hospital. They further find upon an in. vestigation of the cme that the alleged cause of her commiting to the hospital was ‘‘ that she is deficient in Judgement and disposed te extravagant oxpenditure of very limited means, This, in the opinion of the undersigned, is no just cause of her detention in a Site hospital, even if such a propensity still existe, which théy have no reason to believe. { point of leaving it, as usually at this sea. {son, for an absence of several { which has sheltered her so long and the closest economy be expected from ber? : : .
