YOUTH STABS PARENT.
AWayward Sons Thanksgiving Greet
ing to His Mother.
EE WAS REFUSED MONEY.
Mob Tries to Lynch Him as He Was
Taken to Jail, but the Police
Succeed In Saving
Him.
EE WAS REFUSED MONEY.

Great Darlington, Mass, Nov. 81
Joseph Brown, a wayward son. who
disappeared several years ago, stabbed
his mother, who welcomed him to the
Thanksgiving reunion of the family
with outstretched arms. Being re
fused money that he demanded Brown
opened his pocket knife and stabbed
his mother frightfully.
AS she fell to the floor he kicked her
in the face and ON the body. His
younger brother, James. returned to
the house to find his mother uncon-
scious on the bed. The blood was
streaming from several ugly gashes,
while the son sat in a chair contem-
plating his deed. In his hand he held
a gun, but he made no attempt to use
1t as his younger brother rushed at
him and overpowered him.
James summoned the police and a
physician. The room was spattered
with blood, giving evidence that Mrs.
Brown had struggled to save her life
when attacked by her son. When
Brown was taken away, the physician
dressed the womans wounds. 1t is
thought her skull Is fractured, and 1t
is by no means sure that her life can
be saved.
The news of the tragedy spread
throughout the neighborhood like wild
fire and an angry crowd of men and
boys collected with determination to
lynch Brown. The police had hard
work to save him from the fury of the
mob that surrounded him as he was
taken to jail
Brown is now in cell, lying in a
drunken stupor and raving over his
act. He shows no remorse. He appears
to be utterly without appreciation of
the enormity of his crime.
The young man left Great Darlington
under cloud several years ago. 1t is
evident that his crime was premeditat-
ed, for he went to his mothers home
when his two sisters and his brother
were away. 1t Is thought that he watch
ed the house for an opportunity to be
alone with his mother.
