Freeman hos been subject to periodical
insanity spells and although not consid-
cred a dangerous person, it has been
necessary to watch him closely at these
times. A brother named Fred stayed wi b
him F iday and Saturday nights, but being
unable to leave his own work. he secured
John Morgan, of Meriden, to 60 to the
home place and take care of Lucien. 1t
is apparent that Lucien retired as usual
Monday night. During the night he left
his own 70 m on the second floor, and, go
ing down stairs, occupied lounge. Early
in the morning he arose, and, securing an
axe, entered Morgan's room and gave him
two blows with the axe. Morgan was
killed by the first blow. 1t seems
that Mrs, Freeman was aroused, and
hastily dressing, left her room, where she
was met BY the murderer and struck on
ths head with the axe. He then left the
house in an almost nude condition and
started for Orville Eaton's, a distance of
two miles. Reaching there about $50
O'Clock a. M, he aroused Mr.. Eaton, who
took him into the house. sequently

He showed the sheriff where he left the.

of recognizing the southern states in your
great civil war, excepting wnen it learned
of the proposition of Emperor Napoleon
III, and declined to entertain that prepo.
sition without qualification, hesitation, de-
hy or dissent. In the debate
which took place on Mr.. Roe
bucks proposal for negotiations, Lord
Russell took no part and could take none,
as he was a member of the house OF lords.

sure, be glad to learn there is no founda-

might have aided in keeping alive angry

to the Tribune says: Messrs. Onahan,
Rand and Ballard, of the Chicago relief
committee, this afternoon received mes-
sage from Mayor Creiger, saying "0ur
funds are for the immediate wants of the

at once went to see Treasurer Thompson,
of the general relief fund, and withdrew
the Chicago contribution of $4,000, say
ing they would take the money
with them to Chicago and hold
it until they knew definitely
what action Governor Beaver would take
in regard to taking charge and paying for
removing the debris at Johnstown. They
were requested to leave the funds sealed
and placed in vault only to be opened
upon their order, but they preferred to
take the money and did so. On their
arrival in Chicago, they said they would
give the press their reasons for this ac-
tion. They gave inquiring reporters to
understand that they were disgusted at
the way in which money sent here had
been perverted to clean up state high
way instead of being devoted to the
hom eless and suffering poor of Johnstown.

very slow and Governor Beaver did not
arrange on the ground to engage in actual
work till the morning our committee ar
rived and the state had little debris to
clear up at that time. All the money now
sent to Pittsburg will not be used to assist
the real work of the state"

Sim Coy's new book brings out the
historical fact that the first counter
felt greenback QS62 %series) was made
at Lawrence, in this county, during
that year, by members of the criminal
ly famous Johnson family. Many
thousands of the bills were placed in
circulation, people not dreaming of a
counterfeit SO early after the first APP
pearance of the bill, and besides the
stirring events of the war largely di-
verted their attention from business
matters.
Pete Mccartney was the financial
hacker of the Johnsons, and after the
plate had been worked the Johnsons
attempted TO unload Mccartney, but
his suspicious being aroused he stole
the plate and caused it to be electro
typed, after which it was returned to
its old hiding place. The electrotype
was a marked improvement on the
original counterfeit, and Mccartney
worked off his series in this city, and
over 800, 600 of the spurious stuff
were readily placed in circulation.
Meanwhile the secret service officers,
led by Maj. Woods, had been appraised
of the counterfeit, and were laying
for the Johnsons and Mccartney. In
stead OF tracking the latter to his
rooms, where the printing was going
on, Mccartney was arrested at the
postoffice, and in a few days, in COM
pany with the Johnsons, who had
been found at Lawrence, he was for
warded under strong escort to the mil
itary prison at Washington.
While the train vas crossing the
mountains, although Mccartney vas
handcuffed and shackled at the time,
he managed to make his escape, and
in two weeks he was back again in
this city, secured possession of his
electrotype and disappeared. 1t cost
the government a great many thou
sands of, dollars before the officers
again laid hands on him. Meanwhile
the Johnsons succeeded in making
terms, by which they escaped prose
cution by turning up the original
plate and giving the officers certain
pointers with reference to other offend
ers. Neither the Johnsons nor the
government knew until long after.
