DEED OF MANIAC John Pemberton Kills His Aged Mother Near
 Eureka Springs. HE CRAZY MAN THEN FLED BUT WAS CAUGHT BY A
 POSSE. enfaged Man Also Made an Onsue. eessful Attempt to Kill His
 Brother.
TRAGIC EVENT AT HARRISON

Eureka Springs, Nov. 19.-John
 Pemberton, aged thirty five and single
 murdered his mother. with whom he
 was living at their home. fifteep
 miles south of here, Sunday. and them
 arming himself, fled to the woods
 where he was captured by large
 posse at midnight Several months
 ago Pemberton developed violent
 mania, but his mother and his broth-
 CT, William, arranged with the author. ities to confine him at the family homestead, on which were two houses occupied by William and his mother respectively. In strong room in the latter's house John was closely guauI ed until recently, when his improved condition induced the family to give his restricted liberty with William sy-
 most constantly on guard. Saturfav John conceived the idea that his brother must die and William left the premises. Sunday morning John took down the rife to kill William" but found that the charge with which he had carefully loaded it in the night had been extracted. Then followe9
 the search for powder. ball and cap,
 which proved futile, so enraged the maniac that, with one swinging blow of the clubbed weapon. he crushed his aged mothers skull. shiverea she stock and then with the dismemles'eH rifle barrel he rained blow after blow 3upon the prostrate form before him. Then William, who had become 'un- easy and was approaching the house heard the terrific blows. Gathering 2 lot of large stones he rushed into the house and then the brothers both powerful men faced each other for the final struggle Williams unerring
 aim saved his life and drove the crazn brother from the scene but John went
 direct to William's house and fhere l secured a shotgun and a supply ol powder Failing to find any shot, he 1 loaded the rife with nails and fed ra the mountains. By spring in de+ timber the posse found him unreslst | ing and completely cowed.
