Mosherville, Pa., Aug. 1. - Yesterday forenoon Barnum DEWITT, aged sixty, who has been demented    for some time, went into his own hay mow and set it on fire. The barn, full of hay, harness, and all    contents, including the unfortunate man himself, were burned. A few of his bones were found. It is supposed he chose that manner of suicide. He leaves a family. His son saw the flames, and emerged    from the house a moment later. Running to the door he endeavored to open it, but found it locked. With a crowbar he pried an entrance into the barn, which was by this time a mass of flames and    smoke. In the middle of the floor stood his father, his clothing ablaze and his flesh sizzling. The    horrified young man called to the maniac to come out, and was answered by a shriek of derisive laughter. Rushing inside, the brave boy tried to pull his father outside of the blazing barn, but the man retreated to a corner, which was a mass of fire, and threw himself into the raging flames, and    there expired. DeWitt is well known throughout this section and has a brother-in-law Mr. M. W. Dunning who lives in the Fifth ward in Elmira. He was partially demented. This was the second time    he tried to take his life. Squire Moore, of Gillets, took charge of the remains (Bradford Republican, Towanda, Pennsylvania, Thursday, August 6, 1885).
