A Horrible Crime.

Charles +. Freeman, mail carrier, aged 50
years, slaughtered his 6ye.year old daughter,
Edith, in a fit Of religious frenzy, at Pocasset,
Mass, on Thursday morning of last week
He woke up his wife about halfpast three
clock and told her he must "make sacri.
fee to the Lord of his youngest daughter -
He then arose, took the little girl from her
bed, and plunged butcher knife into her
side causing death in minute. 1t is report.
ed that the wife said :-''It was all right ;
Abraham would raise her up next Sunday
Freeman carried the mail On Thursday, as
usual, showing no signs Of his insanity. He
appears to have been crazed by Second Ad.
yentist revival meetings, and to have imagined
that the Lord had ordered the sacrifice Of his
daughter. He seems to be sane on other
points. Freeman remained in his house Fri
day in charge Of an officer and a physician.
The funeral took place Sunday from the Meth.
odist church in that village. The body was
taken to the church by Alden p. Davis, sym.
pathizer with Freeman, Afterlaying downthe
casket Davis attempted to address the audi.
ence, but was prevented by threats Of arrest
Short services we're then held by Rev. Mr..
Williams, pastor Of the church. The Adven.
lists were greatly disappointed and mortified
TO find that the dead girl was not resuscitated
or translated bodily to Heaven as they had
predicted. At Pocasset, Mass, on Monday
the Selectmen, after hearing evidence in re.
gard TO the Freeman tragedy, decided to ar.
rest the following persons as accessories tC
the deed Adm p. Davis, Charles +. How
ard, Nathaniel Wing, Alvin Wing, Walter II
Wing, PhineaG Gibbs, Jr., Harriet N. Swift
and Ann Louise Howard. Davis is believes
TO be hopelessly insane.
