Cold Runings and a Frostbitten Traveler Tragedy
A man named Tom Reston, a ferry keeper from Waterbury, drank heavily in Thomaston and wandered home, freezing in a frostbitten state after being chased by locals. He arrived in Waterbury about 1 a.m., severely injured with two-inch head wounds and likely amputated toes, while a second report describes a mother attempting Paris Green poisoning and a daughter’s rescue from a near-fatal act, followed by federal moves including the Interstate Commerce bill and other measures. Reports from Cleveland detail Summit County infirmary inquiries and a superintendent’s testimony about inmate care and births within the institution.
