Easher ISilsed His Son.

Lexington, Ky, April 2.-Though
neither fred a shot, two burglars have
Just. been indicted in Knott county on
a charge Of willfUl murder in the shoot
ing Of Anderson Young, who was acci-
dentally killed by his father, .of n
Young.
The circumstances surrounding the
tragedy are the most peculiar and
unique in the criminal annals Of ~the
Kentucky mountains, and serve to
illustrate the molntaineer5' queer
ideas Of law.
John Kelley and John Sexton broke
into the Young residence january 10
last Ior the purpose Of robbing the IN
mates. Tae noise they made awoke
John Young, vac secured a gun near
his BED and called 70 his sixteen-year-
Old son, Anderson to bring another
weapon.
Seeing some one approach, the elder
Young opened fire, thinking he was
shooting one Of the robbers, only to
find that he had killed his son, who was
fastening towards him with the second
gun.
Kelley and Sexton, the two burglars
fled, but were soon captured and held
to answer to the grand jury. which,
instead of indicting them for the crime
they actually did commit, charged them
with responsibility for the murder. of
the boy. Apparently the jurors reas-
oned that mad the men not broken into
the house the young man would not
have been mistaken by his father for
one of them, and thus lost his life. AS
the father was not to blame, some one
must be, and, only the two burglars
being left to shoulder the crime. they
must accordingly be tried for the will
full murder of one they never saw or
shot at
