One night, he said, he threw rock
thru the woman's door and from his
hiding place watched his father come
from the house to look for the man who
threw it. The next morning. accord
ing to the testimony, Critchlow told his
family of the outrage" ELS he called
1t and said that he had gotten the
woman revolver and would shoot
the intruder.
The boy stated that he kept his
mother informed Of his fathers per-
ldity, but never, save on one occasion
spoke to him about it. That time
Critchlow was about to leave home
during corn blowing time and the boy
demonstrated, saying something about
'.the old excuse" His father, he said,
threatened to take the tug from the
harness and whip him for it. Then
came the sensational Close.
Critchlow is the father OF twelve
children, the last one Of whom is
