DEFENDS SON
WHOM SHE SAW
SHOOT FATHER
Corroborates Story of William
Gray, Who Gives Himself Up
to Hunterdon Authorities.

FLEMNGTON, June 14-Claiming
row wherein his life was In danger,
William Gray, 27 years old, a real
estate dealer of Hunterdon county
and well known in Trenton through
business transactiins. shot and killed
his father, John Gray, 60 years old,
on their farm between Rosemont and
Kingwood yesterday afternoon.
There was no one present but the
mother, father and son when the muir
der took place, and the mother cor
roborates the claim of her son that
it was case of self-defense in every
particular. After the shooting, when
Gray lay prostrate on the floor, his
wife even then feared him too much
to render any assistance or try to re-
lieve his pain.
Kept Family In Terror.
son. his father was continually abusive
to his wife and on many occasions the
son was compelled to use violence to
prevent his father from doing harm to
the mother.
The head of the family took excep-
ton to the cooking and upbraided his
wife yesterday. The son gave the
father to understand that such treat
ment toward his mother must cease at
once. This further enraged Gray, who
struck his son, the latter says, and
then got shotgun.
Son Rushes for Revolver.
Procuring a revolver, the son COM
manded his father to drnp the gun
and fired when the father refused to do
as hidden. The bullet entered Gray's
left side and took an upward course,
causing internal hemorrhages. from
which the wounded man died about two
hours later.
As soon as his father fell young Gray
drove at once to Rosemont and tried to
get D,. Chamberlain at sergeantsville,
but the physician was out. He next
telephoned to Lambertville and was
unable to get physician there, and re-
turned home to find his father was
dead
The young man returned to Rosemout
and notified Coroner Patrick Kane, of
Lambertville. and County Physician
Harrison, of the shooting. and tried to
communicate with the sheriff to give
himself up, but this official could not be
found and Gray declared he would re-
main with his mother during the night
and give himself up this morning, which
he cid.
Didn't Intend to XIII Parent.
Father had given us trouble all our
lives" said William Gray, when inter
viewed today. This thing was bound
to come. l shot him. that is true, but I
did not intend to kill him. 1 was stand
ing down on the ground when 1 fired
and did not realize that 1 was aiming
so high. 1 intended to shoot lower. /
am sorry I killed him, because he was
my father"
Young Gray is salesman for the
Strout Farm Agency, of New York. He
is well spoken of by the neighbors.

HOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
10 Il An Internal Disease And Requires
An Internal Remedy.

The cause of Rheumatism and kindred
diseases is an excess of uric acid in the
blood. To cure this terrible disease this
acid must be expelled and the system so
regulated that no more acid will be FORM
ed in excessive quantities Rheumatism
is an internal disease and requires an
internal remedy. Rubbing with Oils and
Liniments will not cure, affords only
temporary relief at best, causes you to
delay the proper treatment, and allows
the malady to get firmer hold on you.
Liniments may ease the pain, but they
will no more cure Rheumatism than
paint will change the fibre of rotten
wood.
Science has at last discovered per-
feet and complete cure, which is called
"Rheumacide. Tested in hundreds of
cases. it has effected the most marvellous
cures; we believe it will cure you. Rheu-
macide ''gets at the joints from the in
side," sweeps the poisons out of the
system, tones up the stomach, regulates
the liver and kidneys and makes you
well all over. Rheumacide strikes the
root of the disease and removes its
cause" This splendid remedy is sold
by druggists and dealers generally at
soc. and 81 bottle. In Tablet form

Why Mrs. Adams Wa. No. Home.

The Rev. DIR. Smith was acknowl-
edged a great preacher. and he was
also a close student But he was no
pastor and had horror Of making
pastoral calls. One day he heard an
address which convinced the dear old
man that by not visiting his parish
toner's he had not perhaps fulfilled his
duties as spiritual leader. So he de-
termined to call on each member Of
his church. and. taking the roster Of
the church, he decided to do II alpha
betically. The first name was Mrs
Adams, so to Mrs. Adams house reso-
lutely went the faithful pastor next
afternoon. But Mrs. Adams was not
at home. said the maid.
mot ut homer" echoed the pastor.
"N-n-o, SIR" answered the somewhat
embarrassed girl.
But the pastor. not knowing why she
was embarrassed. thought perhaps the
girl was "fhbIng." so he persisted.
when will Mrs. Adams return" he
asked.
81 really don't know" answered the
maid.
"You don't known asked the pastor.
"Have you no idea about whenT

the maid. "She may return BY 5
