MILTON NEWS.


When the report that Thomas B. Wind q
sor had been shot by his son, Edward, the
news was so astounding that it could
hardly be credited. That a child en-
lowed with any humane feeling should
so far forget his flial obligations as to be !
guilty OF parricide, isa mystery of wick {
ednee r 1eep for the comprehension
Of an enlightened mind. Does anyone
suppose that Edward Windsor, now a flu
gitive from justice, with the brand of
Cain upon his brow,and price set upon
his head, with CHS hand lifted against
every man, and every mans hand lifted
against him" docs anyone suppose that
rcmorse now haunts his dreams and dis
turbs his waking hours Docs anyone
suppose that he ever thinks of his in
fancy, when kind father carried him in
his arms delighted in his infantile pratt
tie, and ministered to his every want
and during all of the years from child
hood to manhood has been his prop, stay
and support Is the vision Of his das-
tardly deed photographed upon the ret
ina of his mind? If Edward Windsor
has a mind, remorse has victim. With
ont attempting to ameliorate the crime
for it is unparalleled i'll the history of
our recollection i'll this State-we may
say, the father is in part to blame for his
own death, and the crime of his unnat-
ural son. Had the son been raised under
different circumstances, and amid diff
fcrcnt surroundings, doubtless Thomas
B. Windsor would be living to-day, and
Edward Windsor would be among the
members Of the home circle. We sor-
row for the bereaved family for the
doubly afflicted widow in the loss of her
husband and also III the loss of her son -
virtually lost to the family whom, what
ever be his crime, she doubtless still
loves; we sorrow for the brothers and sis
tiers in the loss of a father, and in the con-
temptation of the fearful fate that is
hanging over their parricidc brother
This tragedy that has shocked the county
and State, is only another item to be
credited to ''Rum's" long calendar.
