IMPRISONMENT DROVE FARMER INSANE As a sad sequel to the arrest and imprisonment last week of Isaac LINSENBIGLER, of Sassamansville, on the charge of cruelty to animals, the New Hanover Township farmer was on Wednesday forenoon declared insane by a commission in lunacy appointed by the court and he is now an inmate of the State Hospital for the Insane at Norristown. He was last week committed to the Norristown jail for shooting hunting dogs on his farm, after refusing to pay a fine. On Saturday he however paid the fine and left for his home. He arrived at his house in the evening and shortly thereafter he started to threaten his wife and children with death and to make matters worse he secured an ax and brought it in the house. His wife fled to neighbors for refuge and the children were retained in the house. The neighbors were apprised of the threats and the entire neighborhood was in a state of excitement for several days for nobody dared go near the house for fear of being harmed. Since these acts everyone coming in contact with him was alarmed. He has continually threatened to end his life and said that all dogs had to be exterminated. In fact so greatly was the alarm felt by his family that application for a jury in lunacy was made to the Court on Wednesday forenooon. The commission heard testimony in the offices of Attorneys LARZELERE and HILLEGASS at Norristown after which they declared him insane. LINSENBIGLER, who is 51 years of age, is considered a well to do farmer. He has a wife and seven children and they are sorrowful because of the turn of the affair. The man has always been considered a thirfty and saving tiller of the soil and although at times slightly queer no one thought that his mind had been affected. So much as to entirely unbalance him. It is thought that his recent arrest and imprisonment preyed upon him to such an extent as to make him a lunatic.
