yesterday killed his tive-year-old daughter.
The man is a Second Adventist, and has
been attending revival meetings. About a
week ago he claimed to have received
wonderful revelations,'' and has not eaten
or slept since. He says the Lord directed
MIN to sacrifice his little daughter and he
declares that she will rise again in three
days. Yesterday morning he sent word to
the nelghbors that he would make the reve-
iation known and offer an orthodox sacri-
flee. In the afternoon a number of Second
Adventists assembled at his house, but the
child had then been killed. The little one
was transfixed with a knife and her blood
poured out upon the table, improvised as
an altar. Freeman had driven every one
from the house and locked and barred The
doors and windows, and having firearms
threatened death to any one who interfered.
Alone with the dead child, he goes through
horrible lamentations which. he says, in
three days will result in the s'resurrection
of my beloved child"
