Death of Joseph II. Lindsay.

On Sunday evening the residents
of Freeland were thrown into state
of excitement by the news of the
death of Joseph II. Lindsay, which sad
event took place under peculiar circum-
stances.
Peter Houston, a resident of Wash
ington street, while on his way home
from the Young Mems T. A. B. reading
room, about 8 p. M, had occasion to pass
by the rear of the hotel of Condy Nc
Cole, situated on the corner of South
and Washington streets, and when turn
ing the end of the building saw man
lying underneath the porch. He went
into his own house, procured lantern
and came out with companion named
Peter Mccarthy, examined the man,
they identified as belonging to the High
Constable. Upon closer examination
they discovered and identified him as
Joseph Fl. Lindsay. The inmates of the
house were alarmed, and Mr.. Houston
Immediately notified r. A. Buckley,
Justice of the Peace, who repaired to
the spot, and empaneled the following
jury: Hugh Malloy, foreman, John II.
Haas, Joseph P. Mcdonald, Maurice
Ferry, j. C. Berner, James X. Boyle,
who viewed the body and conveyed it to
his home, and DR.. Dutton sent for
who made an examination of the body.
No marks of violence were found on him,
but his neck was broken. After subppn-
ing number of witnesses, and the hour
being late Q0.45 p. m.) the jury adjourn
ed to meet at the Squire's office at 7
o'clock on Monday evening to take testi-
mony.
At p. IN. Monday evening the jury
metand examined number of witnesses
The evidence went to show that at about
half-past six o'clock on Sunday night
the deceased went into the house of
Condy McCole and remained there about
half an hour. He sat in the rear kitchen,
and when he went out moved backwards
in closing the door and fell back over the
porch, where he laid until he was found
by Houston, Notwithstanding that num-
Der of persons passed in and out of the
house during the time he lay there.
The jury, after hearing testimony,
rendered the following verdict: That
Joseph III. Lindsay came to his death in
Freeland Borough, County of Luzerne
and State of Pennsylvania, on March 9th,
1890, by a dislocation of the neck, caus-
ed by falling over porch, while in the act
of closing q door, and that said death
resulted accidental.
The deceased was an old resident of
Freeland, having come here in 1868, long
before there was any talk of the town
being incorporated into borough. He
was prominent member of c. B. Coke
Post 147, G. A. R., having served in the
2Sth Pa. Volunteers, as also of Mount
Horeb Lodge No. 257, l. o. of O. F. and
of the Citizens Hose Company, all of
which organizations attended the funeral
in full regalia. At the last election he
was elected High Constable of the bor-
ough, and on March I'd sworn into office.
