a VICTOR NEAC.M3 COMMITTED
TO AN ASYLUM.

edy.
The foliowiug, from the New York World,
js a fuller account of the insanity of tb e
millionaire, H. Victor Newcomb, than was
contained in the dispatch in the Morning
j e ws of Friday:
H. Victor Newcomb, who has been ac
counted one of the millionaires of New York,
and who up to a year or so ago was one of
the biggest and boldost speculators in Wall
street, has been committed to an asylum for
the insane in the neighborhood of New
York.
The application for this commitment was
made to Judge McAdam of the superior
court by the immediate members of Mr.
Newcomb’s family. It was indorsed by the
affidavits of Dr. Allen 8. Fitch of Bellevue
and Dr. Matthew D. Field, both of whom
are exuerts iu insanity. They agreed that
the millionaire is of unsound mind and
liable, because of his hallucination, to in
flict bodily harm 0:1 those of whom he en
tertains insane suspicions. With the order
of the court secured, Mr. Newcomb’s family
took immediate step3 to have the unfortu
nate sufferer placed in a retreat.
This announcement will naturally excite
a deal of interest and comment iu Wall
street, where Mr. Newcomb has been a
familiar figure, and also among New York
society people. The Newcombs live In a
handsome house at No. (SB3 Fifth avenue
ami have figured prominently in society for
eight or ten years. Their daughter made
her debut at one of the Patriarch balls
about four years ago, and in the autumn ot
ISfID was married to Reginald H. Ward of
Boston. The wedding was one of the most
brilliant house weddings of the year, and
wus attended not only by the fashionable
jet of New York, but by a large contingent
from Boston and New England.
Mr. Newcomb has been ill for more than
e year. He went abroad for his health last
June or July, accompanied by his family.
On his return in Ootobor there was no im
provement. Indeed, he had grown worse,
and Mrs. Newcomb was alarmed beyond
measure during the last two or three days
of the homeward voyage. Among his hal
lucinations was one to the effeot that H. M.
Sianley, who was on board at the time, had
designs on his life. It was only with the
greatest difficulty that he was quieted. His
state room was immediately transformed
into a prison bouse, and he was confined
there under the strictest watch.
Among the other passengers on the ship
was William M. Harriman, of Harrimau
& Cos., bankers. Mr. Newcomb approached
Mr. Harriman one day when the ship was
nearing New York aud before he was con
fined to his stateroom. He said that he de
sired to ask a very considerable favor: he
wanted to borrow some money. Mr. Har
riman replied that he would certainly ac
commodate him to the extent at' his ability,
but that he bad no great amount of ready
money with him. Thereupon, Mr. New
comb said that be wanted $5.
This and other demonstrations so fright
ened Mrs. Newcomb that when the ship
reached quarantine she telegraphod her
family physio:an to meet the family at the
New York pier, and to bring an assistant
with him. This wns done, and Mr News
comb was taken to his home. The doctors
said that their patient was suffering from
nervous prostration, and that with proper
care he would come around all right. He
remained quietly at bis home during the
winter, and his wife and daughter went out
very little. When theg did so they spoke
cheerfully of his condition, and expressed
confidence as to the outcome. But the
friends who called upon the sick man and
who talked with him, cams back with ex
tremely discouraging reports respecting his
appearance and the flighty and disconnected
character of his talk.
Afterward the reports became more
favorable, aDd about a month ago Mr. New
comb came down to Wall street, and, as
mentioned in the World at the time, he cir
culated among the brokers’ offices and spoke
as though be was doing a little in the
market and proposed to do more. Those
who saw him did not notioe anything odd
or peculiar in his conversation, but they did
tbmk that he did not look well. His eyes
were decidedly wild, and be was preter
naturally pale.
Immediately after this he became at home
more violent aud dangerous in his halluci
nations and demonstrations than ever. His
oddest fancy hod to do with H. M. Flagler,
the .Standard Oil millionaire. His theory
was that Mr. Flagler played on some kind
of an electrical machine and that through
the playing he held Newcomb’s hand under
subjection. The more the idea grew on him
that he was under the direct influence of
Flagler the more violent he became. He
finally secured a revolver aud proposed to
hunt up Flagler to shoot him.
It was at this time that Mr. Newcomb’s
family concluded that some action must bo
taken to restrain him in order to provide
against a possible tragedy. Physicians
were consulted, aud the application was
made to Judge McAdam.
As soon us the first stories of Mr. New
comb's aberrations got into circulation last
fall those who knew him recalled a number
of inoidonts of his earlier life in New York
that were now taken as indicating an un
balanced mind.
One of the incidents thus recalled was the
millionaire's visit to a police court to per
suade the justice to issue an order prohibit
ing a somewhat well-known Dalmonico
youth from writing sentimental letters to his
daughter Edith. The young man had been
forbidden the house. He sought, however,
to continue his interest with the girl
through a series of daily letters, and Mr.
Newcomb wanted them stopped. The police
justice summoned the young man before
him and lectured him at considerable
length. He told Mr. Newcomb, however,
that he was powerless to do anything effect
ive and the result was that the
girl was taken out to Louisville
and remained there for several months. If
any attachment existed between the young
people these fatherly measures served the
purpose of extinguishing it. The young
naan retired from the field, and in the
course of time Edith Newcomb became
Mrs. Reginald Ward.
Mr. Newcomb’s eccentricities a' in all
probability inherited from his mother. His
father was the late H. D. Newcomb of Lou
isville, Ky. He died less than twenty years
ago. At the tiino of his death he was the
richest man in the southwest.
His fortune was estimated at from $5,000,-
000 to $6,000,000. The elder Mr. Newcomb
came to Louisville a poor man, but he ac
cumulated a comfortable fortune before he
had been many years in the the Kentucky
metropolis. He had oometo Louisville from
Massachusetts and his first business ventures
there were made as a book peddler. After
he had started on his career was prosperous
he married into the Reed family, one of the
most exclusive families socially in Ken
tucky. The way in which the the marriage
was brougtt about indicated an eccentric
dispositian on the part of Miss Reed that
afterward developed into insanity.
As the story goes. Miss Reed met Mr.
Newcomb in the first years of his growing
prosperity and fell in love with him. It has
been said that she secured him for h hus
band by a curious and apparently unneces
sary ruse. According to this legend her
father sent for him one day and ushered
him into his daughter’s room, where she
was lying apparently at the point of death.
She was surrounded by her family, and she
told Mr. Newcomb that she had long had
an affection for him, and that, as she was
about to die, she would like to bear his
name before her death. Newcomb readily
accepted the suggestion, whether from real
affection for the lady or from the social
compliment involved is not known. At all
events they were married forthwith. But
the lady did net dia. On the contrary, she
was hearty and well on the following
morning.
This fc believed to have been the first ovi- j
dence of an insanity which speedily de
veloped in Mrs. Newcomb. At first it mani
fested itself in kleptomania, and for very
many years it was reported teat her husband
had an understanding with all ihe leading
merchants of Louisville that they should
return him bills without inauiry for any
articles taken by his wife.
He was a most devoted husband. Five chil
dren were born to them, of whom the eldest
was H. Victor Newcomb. When the youngest
of the five was an infant the mother became
so insane that a oolored nurse was employed
to watch her constantly.
One day, however, she managed to get
the nurse away, and, going to the third
story of the Nevvoomb house on Main street,
Louisville, where the nursery was situated,
she locked the door and told the children
that it was better that they should die in
chlidhood than suffer the various miseries
of life. Thereupon Mrs. Newoomb fell upon
her kDees and prayed for her children:
taking up the three youngest ones she threw
them out of the window one after the other.
They fell upon an iron railing three stories
below, and were instantly killed.
Mrs. Newcomb then turned to her two
elder children, Victor and Herman, but
they resisted their mother with all their
childish strength. But she finally forced
them out of the window. Even then they
did not give up the struggle for life, blit
clung desperately to the wiudow-sill crying
for help.
Meanwhile the colored nurse had returned
to the house a-id discovered the tragedy that
was being enacted by her poor insane mis
tress. The door of the room was locked and
the nurse wus unable to force it. Realizing
the imminent poril of the two young boys
she threw a mattress to the ground beneath
the spot where they were banging. When
they dropped the mattress broke the force
of the fall and saved their lives.
Mrs. Newcomb was sent to the McLean
Asylum for the Insane at Somerville, Mass.
Here she was maintained for about twenty
five years by her husband, who provided
her witn horses and carriages and every
thing that wealth could procure.
At the expiration of that time Mr. New
comb fall in love with Miss Nina Smith, the
daughter of a prominent broker of Ixjuis
ville. It was understood that she had been
engaged to Mr. Newcomb’s second son, Her
man, but he died of opium poisoning about
that time under circumstances strongly sug
gesting suicide iu the residence of Dr.
Samuel Gross, the distinguished Philadel
phia surgeon.

APPEARANCES DECEIVE.
And You Cannot Always Estimato a
Man by His Face.
From the New York Recorder.
It was in a prominent resort for business
men, politicians aud the like, and a group
of men sat smoking and ohatting. They
were discussing the value of one’s first im
pressions of other men.
“1 always make mv estimate of a man
when I see him,” said one of the group,
"aud 1 find it a pretty safe rule to do so.”’
Other men made similar statements indi
cating their Jlaith in first impreessious,
when a red-nosed man who had been silent
interrupted the talk.
“First impressions, gentlemen,” said he
“are in some cases all right. There is an
order of men, and it is almost always the
lower order, who show their lack of charac
ter on their faces. There is a much smaller
class of respectable men who show it in
their manner. Doubtless you gentlemen
have been able to discriminate, as you say
you have, between a good man and a bad
one by his faoe. In that case you have
been fortunate in boing gifted with rare
powers such as I believe are not given to
most men. I can give you a chapter from
my own experience to prove that.
“Now,” he continued “you will observe
that I have a red nose. I was a ttle bit
sensitive about that nose once, but I got
over that years ago. Besides, some very
eminent men have red noses without hav
ing had the experience I had.
"Still, eight men out of ten would think
that I have been a heavy drinker. You
who know me are aware that I am not,
and never have been. I am not a total
abstainer but I have never been drank in
mv life. A glass of wine at times has been
my rule. I say this much in order that
you may understand what I think of first
impressions.
“A good many years ago I was connected
with a firm in this town in a trusted cleri
cal capacity. I was young then at.d had
good prospects. Even then my nose was
about as it is now, but my employer knew
me-and that did not matter. But one day
ho dsed, business was closed up aud l was
out of employment. My recommendations
were good enough and 1 thought I would
have no trouble in getting a place. You
see I did not know how many persons put
their faith in first impressions.”
“A good many years ago I was connected
with a firm in this town In atrusted clerical
capacity. I was young then and had good
prospects. Even then my nose was about
as it is now, but my employer knew me and
that did not matter. But one day ne died,
business was closed up and I was out of
employment. My recommendations were
good enough, and I thought I would have
no trouble in getting a place. You see I did
not know how many persons put their faith
in first impressions.”
Just here the speaker drew from his
pocket a fountain pen and wrote a few sen
tences on a pad.
"Gentlemen." he said, "I believe I will
not be considered as boasting when I say I
am a good penman.”
No one seeing the writing could honestly
make such a charge. The penmanship
shown was far above the ordinary.
"Well.” continued the speaker, “I was
quite as good a penman at the time I speak
of as now. I speak of this that you may
understand what followed. I answered
every advertisement for men in my line
that I saw. I found that my penmanship
would load to a request to call. In some
cases it brought about a partial engage
ment
“Now, gentlemen, not any of those calls
or partial engagements resulted in any
thing. I taink I may safely say that in my
ca e first impressions were wrong, may I
not*”
The group of smokers asserted in unison
their firm belief that he safely could.
“Well,” concluded the victim of first im
pressions, "If every stranger that I come
into contact witn has a wrong first impres
sion of me, how many other men are
wronged in the same way, and what be
comes of the infallibility, so to speak, of the
first impression? 1 leave those questions for
your consideration.” Saying which the
speaker tossed bis cigar away and went out.
“By Jove,” said one who had listened, “1
never looked at it in that way before.” The
group of smokers seemed to be in about the
same position. So they changed the sub
ject.

TIIE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1891.
A DESPERATE MIDNIGHT CHASE-
What Came of an Omaha Woman’s
Walking la Her Sleep.
From the Omaha World-Herald.
Several nights ago a prominent business
man living on Thirty-first street was awak
ened from sleep and discovered that his wife
was missing. Hastily arising the husband
began a searoh of the premises. In the hall
way of the first floor he found his wife lying
unconscious on the flier with several ugly
cashes on her face aud neck. Instantly it
dawned on the husband’s mind that burg
lars had entered the bouse, and that bis wife
had been attacked.
There was no one In the house to send for
help. The hi sbar.d threw open the front
door and fortunately, or unfortunately, a
well dressed gentleman, who proved to be
an equally well-dressed young buaineaa man,
returning from a late card party, passed by.
Arrayed iu bis night gown the husband
hurried down the steps and called lustily to
the young man. The latter turned and
gazed upon the figure in white. One glance
was sufficient to terrorize a less superstitious
man. The husband hurried toward the
young man, but the latter took a fresh grip
on the overcoat which had hung carelessly
over his arm and started east on Farnam
street at a dead run.
“Stop, there!” yelled the husband.
But the injunction only served to accele
rate the speed of the young man. It seemed
the only chance in sight, and the husband
clung to it. With his night robe Sapping iu
the breeze h<? flew over the pavement, yell
ing at every bound when he could summon
breath. Once or twice the young man
turned to see if be was still pursued, and
then he took a fresh grip on his coat and
plunged forward into the damp atmosphere.
On and on went the young mao, and on and
on followed the husband. It seemed a race
for life. But nature could not stand every
thing. The husband was plainly gaining
and the young man was plainly losing bis
breath. When the young man struck the
hill in front of John A. MoShane’a resi
dence it seemed that all hope had gone and
his legs showed signs of weakening. The
husband gained several laps and he seemod
to progress right well on an up-hill run. At
the top of the hill all the breath was gone
from the young man, and hatless he halted,
and, turning savagely upon his pursuer, ex
claimed.
“What’u thunder are you chasing me for,
anyhow?”
The husband gasped for breath as he re
plied: "What in thunder are you running
for? My wife has been attacked by burglars,
and I want you to go for a doctor. Now
will you go get one?”
A glad light burst upon the young man,
and, feeling as though he was a brand
snatched from the burning, he hastily took
the number of his pursuer’s house and
hastened away in search of a doctor.
The young man repaired to his own
home,where he summoned Dr. Riley by tele
phone. Then he sent to the stable for his
team, and drove out on Thirty-first street to
sea if he could be of further assistance. But
in the excitement of the moment the young
man had beoome confused on sumbori, and
aftor an hour’s search for his pursuer’s bouse
he retired to his own home, and was soon
lost in slumber.
The next day the young man met the hus
band on the street and explanations fol
lowed. The doctor had found the house,
and administered to the wife. It was not a
case of burglary at all. The wife had sim
ply arose and walked in her sleep, some
thing she had never done before. In at
tempting to pass through a big pane of
window glass she had sustained her in
juries.
Presto! Change! Gray and faded beards
made to assume their original color by ap
