HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.

\ ReIigIous MsnIac's Terrible Crime.
HE SACRIFICES MS FIyE-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER
NORTH SANDWICH, Mass, May 2--fester-
day, Charles + Freeman, of Pocasset, In a
freak Of religious frenzy, killed his FIVE
years-oid daughter, Edith The man is 4
second adventist and has become greatly
excited during ths last few days while st
tending a series of revival meetings. About
a week ago he claimed to have received a
wonderful revelation" anI has not eaten
or slept since. lie says. that the Lord
directed him to sacrifice his little
daughter, AMI declares that she will
rise again in three days. Yesterday morn
ing he sent word around the village that
he would make the revelation known, and
offer an orthodox sacrifice at O. clock in
the afternoon. \ number Of the Second
Advent people assembled at his house.
Previous to their arr ival the horrible deed
was performed with cool deliberatlOn and
accompanied with what was intended 10 be
an impressive religions ceremony. The
little ere wGs transiixfd wish 4 knife bJ
her insane father ard hsr blood was
poured ont upon q table which was
imprOVised A. an altar. Those people
present at Freemln'S house 10 the
afternoon refuse to state the circumstances
Of the terrible affair, and it il not known
whether the bloody deed was performed in
their presence or earlier IN the day. 1t is
estimated that all that might be told about
the tragedy has not yet been revealed.
The mailman has driven every one from
his house and has not yet been Sc
cured. lie has Hooked and barred
the doors and windows and being
supplied with firearms he threatens
death 20 any one who shall interfere.
Alone with bis dead, he goes through
horrible incarnation which he says will in
three days result in the resurrection OF my
beloved child" The community has been
hOrrOr-strieken by the awful occurrence,
and no one has as yet had the courage to
attempt to secure the maniac. An effort
will be made by the authorities
to capture him to-day. Freeman is
about thirty-iour years of age
and lives with his vile and
family on his farm in Pccasset. lie has
another daughter about seven years old,
Edith being Just fve. lie has lived in P1-
