Abbie Oliver, a beautiful young lady of
Sturgis, Union county, was led astray

Boston, April 5.-Thomas Brown, a
picture-frame maker of dissipated char
acter, was arrested this morning charged
with killing his mother, Mrs. Catharine
O'Meally, an old woman who lived at
72 Broadway, South Boston, by beating

more constantly. He is about 33 years
old and widower. Mrs. O'Meally,
the murdered woman, was married,

Brown, and he has been dead some
years. Some time after his death she
married John O'Meally, who subse-
quently left her. The accused man
lived with his mother, and, according to
the statements of the neighbors, they
did not get along together on account of
Browns drinking habits. Brown was
drunk last night, and this morning the
bruised and battered body of his mother
was found on the floor of her room.
