Brown opened his pocket knife and
Stabbed his mother fligAtfully.
AS she fell TO the floor he kicked her
IN the face and on the body. His yuuD.
ger brother, James, returned to the
house to lind his mother unconscious
on the bed. The blood WAS streaming
from several ugly Gashcs while the son
sat in a chair contemplating his deed.
In his hand he held Il gun, but he made
no attempt to use it as his younger
brother rushed at him and oyerpowered
him.
James summoned the police and
physician. The room was spattered with
blood, giving evidence th.st Mrs. Brown
had struggled to save her life when at
tackled by her son. When Brown was
taken away, the physician dressed the
woman's wounds. 1t IS thought her
skull is fractured, and it is by no means !
sure that her life can be saved.
The news Of the tragedy spread |
throughout the neighborhood like wild
tire, 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 HIN as he was
taken to jail.
Brown is now IN a cell, lying in
