Insane Mother Kills Her Son.

Only recently returned to Potts
vile, Pa, from private hospital at
Lebanon, Mrs. Benjamin J. Granger,
aged thirty years, close reader of
the Albany child murder case, went
suddenly insane and killed her only
son, John Edward Granger, aged seven
years.
The woman was discharged from
the hospital apparently cured of her
mental trouble, but her sister has kept
close watch upon her. The mother
took advantage of the temporary alb
sence of her sister to carry out the
crime.
The unfortunate boy, bright lad,
had been at school. After the midday
meal the mother took her boy out to
an isolated section known as "The
Pines" There she tied his hands and
feet and stuffed a handkerchief down
his throat to stop his cries.
Using a razor, while he lay help
less, she cut his throat from ear to
ear. The sharp blade was then used
to slice the child from the neck down
his chest t. his abdomen.
The boy made vain fight for his
life. In his struggles he wrenched one
hand loose from the ropes, with which
| it was pinioned.
i Just as the police and hospital au
thorities arrived the mother was ap
| pretended in the vicinity of public
school house. Her face and clothinf
were covered with blood. The woman
shrieked AMI screamed. She proved |
terrifying spectacle to several hundred
children as she ran up and down thu
street.
