A NOBLE MOTHER BURNED To DEArH.-A CORES
pondent OF the Syracuse Journal thus speaks of the
victim in the Skaneatees burning fluid case:
Mrs. Mitchell survived until nearly o'clock in
great agony, mitigated only by the use of choro-
form which was all that could be administered for
her oeneht, the whole surface, nearly, being burned
to crisp.
The maternal instinct was beautifully illustrated
In the case of Mrs Mitchell, whose little bow, six
years old, was asleep up stairs when the accident
occurred. As soon as she found her CLOTHING in
hames that could not be extinguished she ran i'm
medIately out of doors; fearing that the bouse
would take lire and burn up her boy and when her
husband came into the ROOM upon reaching his
house, her first exclamation upon hearing his aTo-
nIZlng grOans, was:
''Oh, Jim, am dying for disobeving Won. bnt
L hare saUed our boy.''
And almost the last words the poor sufferer ut
tered, were:
'"rake good care of Charley"
She was beautiful young woman in the flower
OF her age; and her terrible death was the saddest
tragedy have ever witnessed.
