MURDERED BY HER SON.


AspBfRoIT wAsHERwoMkN, SO YEARS OLD,
STAMPED TO DEATH. +,
bay City, Mich, Tribune.
DETROIT, Oct. 16.-A murder ofthe most
terrible character was committed In this
city early this morning. Mrs. Matte Far
rell, . widow, sixy-eight years old. living
IN what is known - the Potomac" quarter
ofthe city, was found beside her bed with
great clots Of blood oczing through her
hair.
* An examination Of the head showed a
gssh four inches long on the right temple,
and head and face considerably bruised and
neck broken. Henry Language, worth
les. character and son Of Mrs. Farrell by
her first husband, has been arrested on sus-
picion. An inquest Is now in progress. It
appears that both Language and Mrs. Far
rtll were drunk and had been quarrelliug
all the night. The only witness is the little
four-year-old daughter of Language.
The Detroit Free Press says: When asked
II fshe saw her father have fight with her
grandmother, she said:
'sYes, last night, d.nma was fishtin' wis
pa"
The sergeant asked: "What did papa
dop.
He hit danma on the face and he ticked
Il icked) her and ticked her." said the lit
tie one.
When asked to show how her father
kicked the old woman, she stamped her
tiny feet on the floor, "He licked zis way
ard like zis" (stampiDg her feet.)
. To cap the climax, little Matte, at the
erd of the story, said:-"Pa dive (give) me
the lamp file (while) he wasse6 (washed)
the blood off dsnma's neck and face"
The little girl who had thus. :ruthfully
pi, tored the awful murder of her mother
BY her OWE son, and at the same time uncon-
scously convicted her own father OF the
worst crime known, is bright and rather
pretty, and, through the entire interview,
conducted herself as one her age only could
do-without guile, without self-contradic-
'ion ard with no idea of the important part
sic was taken. ......
