"MAN WITH THE The Wonderful "Snapshot
99
New York, Sept. 17. The Belle-
vue Hospital patient, known as the
"Man With the Iron Mask," ia dead.
Thomas Oliver Colt was his name
He was related to the family of gun-
makers of that name, and was bom
in Connecticut. At the age of 15,
while playing ball, he was struck
in the face by a ball, his cheek
bones being fraotured and his nose
broken. Erysipelas followed and
the nose was lost, as was a portion
of his face. He was brought to
Bellevuo Hospital by his parents,
the head of the surgical division of
that institution being Professor
Thomas C. Sabine, who heard the
story and said he would make the
boy a nose. The result was tho first
Sabine operation as it is now known.
Colt's left hand was placed on
his face and the third finger relieved
of the nail and placed on the bridge
of the nose. It took two months to
grow there, while it was held in po
sition by a plaster cast, and thon it
was cut from the hand at the second
oint. Thirty-two operation and
two yours in the hospital gave a
new fncs to Colt.
In 18 he married Miss Plate,
of Urange, rs. J. she said she re-
ciprocuted his affection because of
his mind. In November, 189(1, ho
shot her in New Jersey, and thon
shot himself.' Both lived, and he
was tried for murder.' He was con
victed and sentenced to 15 years in
the penitentiary. After serving two
years he was pardoned.
He took every means of conceal
ing his features whon in public. In
August he was admitted to Bellevuo
Hospital, suffering from Bright'e
disease. He was fearful that other
patients would see his face, eo he
kept it muffled and became known
to the other patients as the "Man
With the Iron Mask."
