Connecticut seems to be plunged into 8 series Of neyer-ending crimes. The latest comes from Ansonia, where on Thursday last, s little daughter of John Mo Crindle, a Scotcnman employed in Farrels foundry, was enticed into barn by 8 negro named Edgar Freeman, and brutally outraged. She was kept there till dark, when Freeman put her in carriage, and took her down the road to Derby Narrows, wheie he left her beside the road. Freeman was arrested and confined in the Ansonia lookup. As soon as it became noised among the fellow workmen ofthe fath- CT the next morning they made an attack on the lookup, and secured the prisoner in spite of the officers in attendance. They wound rope around his neck, and while one man sat on Freeman, the others dragged him along through the dit and stones. When they reached the Naugatuck bridge, the beams be- ing 100 high to be reached readily, it was pro- ,,osed to take him to the barn where the crime Svaz committed. This saved his life, as, be- fore the mob reached the place, the officers o1 tba law succeeded in rescuing him and getting him to tue Birmingham lookup, and rom +henee to the New Haven jail.
