pie6 with his aged father. He found the
door bolted and was kept waiting a long
time before it was opened. High words
ensued, and suddenly the father drew a
revolver and shot the son through the
head.
The report of the revolver brought to
the scene the police and those living in
adjoining apartments The son was hur-
ried to the Lariboisiere hospital, where he
died; the father was taken to the police
station.
The feeble old man was greatly shaken
and trembled as in d rambling way he
tcld his story to the police commissary.
He had bought the revolver. he said, with
the intention of committing suicide The
son had brought a woman to the houst,
in spite of repeated protest. Tonight, Pot;
declared, his son was accompanied by
tire same woman, and reproached him
for keeping him, waiting. He meant to
kill himself in their presence and drew
The pistol What passed he did not under
stand, but instead of putting bullet into
his own temple, he fired at his son. Why,
he could not explain.
The janitor of the apartment and neigh
bors informed the police they often had

G. Brooks Smith. Following Judge
Browns decision an appeal was imme-
diately taken by the defendant and the
case will be heard by the court or ap-
peals in the near future.
In rendering his decision in the case,
Judge Brown stated that the members of
the governors staff performed no mill
tary service in going to Washington
attend President Wilson's Inauguration
and that, therefore, the payment of their
expenses would be in violation of the
state constitution.

local defendants agreeing that they would
rest their rights in the matter in this
final determination of one of the suits

of the attorney general TO the effect that
the governor had no authority to approve
the expense accounts of the members Of
his staff to Washington. The ruling was
made several months after the staff s
expenses had been paid, and followed a
request from Auditor Smith, who desired

Washington, Auditor Smith Immediately
wrote to the staff members and demanded
that they refund the money he had paid
them. They declined to accede to the
auditors request, and as a result suit
was brought.
