THE POCASSET TRAGEDY.

Chas. F. Freeman Observation-Disclosures
Testimony Proving Insanity.
BARNsTABLE, Mass, Jan. 29.--Charles t.
Freeman, the Pocasset murderer, was arragn.
ed before Judge Morton of the Supreme Court
today. A. w. Boardman Of Boston and G. A.
Faber of Lynn were appointed his counsel.
Judge Morton said that the point to establish
was whether or not Freeman was in right
mind at the present time, and then stated that
ne would hear evidence upon that point. DIR.
Chas. f. Wood of Pocasset was the first wit
ness, and testified to his acquaintance with
Freeman; always considered him a sober, in
dnstrious and upright man. Mrs. Harriet
Swift next testified about the Advent meetings
and how she became converted. DIR. Chas. i.
Folsom, DR.. j. P. Brown and DR.. Denny of
Boston all testified that they had examined
Freeman and pronounced his mind unsound
and wholly incapable of comprehending the
charge of murder, or being of assistance to
counsel acting upon this testimony. Judge
Morton ordered that Freeman be recommitted
to Jail to await trial at the May term of the
Supreme Court.
A report is circulated here today that Fee
man will within a few weeks be committed to
the Insane Asylum.

The Sugar Question.
The discussion of the sugar question was re-
sumed this morning before the committee on
on ways and means. Henry A. Brown, eX-
special agent of the Treasury department., was
the only gentlemen heard. He opposed the
establishment of uniform rate Of duty on
sugars up to No. Is, contending that it would
diminish the revenue, encourage fraud, stran-
gle the beet root sugar interest in this country
and be ruinous to the Louisiana sugar cane in
tereSt.
Commissioner Hayt Relieved Summarily.
The following was received by Indian Com
missioner Hayt today:
WASHINGTON, Jan %.
Hon. e. A. Hayt, Commissioner of Indian
Affairs,
Sir,-It has become my duty to inform you
that the public interests demand a change in
the Commissionership of Indian Affairs, and
that your further services in that Office are
dispensed with.
Very respectfully,
(Signed,) 9. SCHURz, Secretary.
1t is stated on the authority of the commit
tee of the board of Indian commissioners that
no proof OF any dishonest act or connection
with corrupt practices ON his part has been
found and that Hayt was removed for with
holding information from the Department On
the other hand it is quite as positively stated
by other parties that while the facts developed
in the recent investigation may not have been
regarded as sufficient ground on which to re-
move Hayt they were of the most damaging
character and had Secretary Schurz failed to
remove him other charges of still more serious
nature would have been preferred.
