horrible murder was added to this city's
criminal record to-day, which, in its de-
tails, appears to be the most revolving
| crime perpetrated for a long time past.
Considerable bad blood has existed between
Timothy Whalen and his father John
Whalen, a plasterer by trade. The son
| followed the same trade when at work.
The latter is said to be travelling rapidly a
downward path, and the father has been
trying hard to reclaim him. Timothy has
already served a term in the State Prison
for burglary and was only released Sep
TENDER Is 1885. The circumstances of the
crime are that, shortly after dinner this
evening, at the family dwelling, No. 1905
Bush street, Timothy went to the
basement to split some kindling
wood. He was followed by his father, with
whom it is presumed, he soon got into an
alteration. which ended in the murder of
the father. When the crime was discoy-
cred by other members of the family. the
murdered man was found living in a
pool of blood, and near by bloody ham
mer, sand-club and AK. The fathers head
and other portions of his body were horri-
bly, mutilated- The murderer sought TO
escape the consequences of his crime by
stabbing himself in the breast, and slash
ing his throat with penkife. He inflicted
wounds from which it is not believed he
| will recover.
