AN INSANE MOTHERS DEED.

One Daughter Beaten Iuto Insensibiltty
and Another MORALLY Wnuoded With IA
Large Bread Ilnrfe--The Maniac Secured
After Fierce struggle.
NEW YORK, September
Jos. Thompson Norwegian fisherman,
lives in Stap.eton, L. l., with his two
children and his wife. The oldest
daughter, Mamie, nineteen years old, was
married to William scott, livery stable
keeper, a year ago, and lives close to
her mother She is very popular among
the young people of the neighborhood.
Mrs. Thompson is large woman about
fifty years old, and lately 1t has been
noticed that she was acting strangely.
At times she appeared Respondent.
Katie, the next daughter to Mamie,
went home from work last night and
complained somewhat because supper
was not ready, when Mrs. Thompson,
few into violent passion,
ATTACKED KATE FIERCELY
and Knocked her down and began beat
ing her numerically. The other chill
dren shrieked and Mamie hurried over
to her mother, and begged her to spare
Katie, when Mrs. Thompson picked up a
large bread knife and plunged it into
Mamie's neck, almost severing the iugu-
lar. Mamie rushed from the house with
the blood pouring from the wound in u
stream. MIR. Thompson met Mamie at
the threshold as she ran out into the
street. "Run and save the chidren,"
she said TO hm, "mOther is crazy aud is
killing them" Her father hurried on
and found Katie, who had
PAINTED, on THE FLOOR.
Her mother stood over her with the knife
cenched and glaring wildly. She rushed
at her husband, who had fierce st uggle
with her and took the knife away.
Mamie may die from .oss of blood.
Mrs. Thompson was taken to police
headquarters, where she was put under
guard. She was moaning and crying
continually.
