We trust that Whitman's factory at
Winthrop for the making Of agricultural
implements will rise from its ashes en-
larged and improved in all the facilities
required in the business for which it was
constructed. The work done at the old
establishment was Of the best In the mar
ket. The name Of the concern alone is
worth more than the loss of property. 1t
was known many years ago all over this
State and in many other States, and never
stood higher than under the enterprising
firm which has suffered the late heavy loss.
The whiskey dealers OF Kentucky are
loaded with more whiskey than they can
pay taxes on. and the distillers have been
called TO assemble on December II to
form pool for the control of the produc
ton. According to the report the disti-
leries of that State produced $4,000. 900
gallons in 1882. and thus so completely
glutted the market that only 100000
gallons have been made this year. The
theory Is that the demand calls for about
10000, 900 gallons OF Kentucky whiskey.
and that rigid restriction Of production
will save many concerns from ruinous
loss. Kentucky is the home of the new
democratic Speaker of the House.

READFrELI', Dec. 5.
A mother and son by the name Of Reasic,
live at Readfleld Corner. Mrs. Reasic is an
old and infrm lady. The son Fred is %
years old, hulking, brute fellow. On Tues
day, horrible shrieks and groans were heard,
issuing from the house. A woman's voice
cried murder" 'help," etc. Some Of the
neighbors rushed to the house and saw a
shocking spectacle. The old lady lay bruised
and bleeding on the floor, completely ex-
hausted from the effects of a terrible ponnd-
ing, administered by her unnatural son. The
fellow made his escape as soon as he saw
the neighbors interfering. Mrs. Reasic was
kindly cared for. She probably will re-
cover. The officers and indignant citizens
at once instituted search for Reasc. Tues
day he had not been found. He probably
was under the influence Of liquor when he
attacked his mother.

A CRANK IN COURT.
Trial of Freeman, the Pocasset Fanatic.
for the Butchery of His Little
Daughter.

BARNsTABLR, Mass, Dec. 5.
The trial of Chas. Freeman. the POcasset
fanatic, for the murder on May lst, 1873, of
his little daughter Edith, in religious frenzy,
was commenced today in the supreme court.
The medical examiner testified to finding the
murdered body of the child in Freeman's
House. Freeman told the position of the
child ut the time he struck and killed it, and
other incidents of the murder. Freeman
gave as a reason why he killed the child that
"Abraham's faith Overpowered him. For
months he believed that God made a direct
communication to his children, and for two
weeks he believed that God had special work
for him to do. He found that proof of faith
was the sacrifice of his youngest child. The
witness didn't think him responsible for the
deed at the time of the murder. The second
witness, Alvin Wing Of Pocasset, had known
Freeman ten years. Saw him following the
murder. He told the witness to see Select
man Nye, and tell everybody to come to his
house at three o'clock that afternoon, but did
not know the reason at the time. Freeman
dwelt upon the bible before some twenty-five
OF his neghbors, and informed them that
Edith lay dead in an adjoining room, but that
she would rise on the third day. He gave no
particulars as to how she died. His feelings
toward the child wore affectiOnate, more so
than with the other children.
This closed the argument for the govern
ment. Freeman's counsel, Taber, then pre-
sented the defence to the jury. informing
them that Mr.. and Mrs. Freeman would rem.
der their ideas.
Mrs. Freeman was called, and testified
that her husbands conduct was always affec-
tionate. He had been sunstroae in 1878; his
devotion to the Christian increased year by
year until it interfered with his business had
three visions the night before the deed, and
said that God hal ordered him to do some
thing. Her feelings were the same as her
husbands at the time of the tragedy, but
were now entirely changed.
DR.. Folsom of Boston, an expert, testified
that Freeman was insane in 1873. He thought
he was not responsible for the deed.
James II. Denny of Boston, testified that
Freeman was a religious monOnianiac.
DIR. Peter Pinco of Boston, said the pris-
oner was certainly insane at the time the
deed was committed, and was not in the least
responsible.
After the charge BY Chief Justice Morton,
the jury at 3. 20 retired and in a few minutes
brought in a verdict of not guilty by reason
of insanity whereupon Judge Morton gave
an order committing Chas. F. Freeman to
the Danvers Asylum during his natural life.
