Well... he wanted to make his fingers longer, so he or someone else made a metal machine that would pull his fingers to 'make them longer'. Let's just say it didn't go to well. he ended up with three (I think) broken fingers and he could not control them. He

died in an asylum because of his nervous breakdowns.
