Farmer Reeve Surrenders After Night Siege at Aquebogue
Riverhead, Dec 17. Tuthill Reeve the demented farmer who killed Deputy Sheriff Rafford during an attempt to serve an execution, surrendered to Sheriff Preston after an all night siege. He was wounded by the posse but walked out unarmed signaling surrender. Doctors will examine his sanity for potential sanitarium commitment as Coroner Peterson and District Attorney Livingston plan inquiries. The case has shifted to questions of mental balance and legal custody. Livery drivers in Chicago brace for a probable strike after failed wage and union recognition talks impacting funerals and use of black wagons.
