Owes Over $8,OOO,OOO.

Paris, Aug. 6.-Debts amounting
to over $8,OOO,OOO are included in
the liabilities of Armand Depordus-
sin, the aeroplane inventor, who was
arrested here yesterday for forgery
Against these liabilities, his assets,
which are somewhat vague, are esti-
mated at $4,OOO,OOO. His bankers
hold his paper for $6,4OO,OOO, while
other creditors claim $500 900.
Newspapers here recount many
stories of Depordussin's personal ex-
travagance. He was the foremost
patron Of aviation in France and
spent. money with the utmost lavish.
He always felt confident that avia-
ton would develop rapidly and his
expenditures were based on this ex-
pectation.

AIKEN BOY KILLS HIS FATHER
In Defense of His Mother--Father
Had Come Home Drunk.N

Aiken, Aug. 7.-Dock Walton, who
has been living in Aiken county for
several months under the name of
Joe Vincent, was shot and instantly
killed last night by his young son,
Lee Walton, boy of between II
and IL years of age. The boy shot
his father when he came home drunk
and began beating the little fellows
mother.
Walton was shot twice through the
head, both bullets entering from the
rear and coming out of the forehead,
one just over the right eye.
The Waltons lived at Milledgeville,
little station of the Southern Rail-
way, about twelve miles from Aiken.
Last night Mrs. Walton and her little
son were at home when Walton came
home drunk. After a few minut es
he began a quarrel with his wife, and
afterwards struck her, after express
ing his intention of giving her "a
good whipping" AS fast as she
would get to her feet the man would
knock her to the floor again.
Little Lee Walton told his father
to stop beating his mother. The
father paid no attention to the son.
The boy warned him, and when he
found he could protect his mother in
no other way, the little fellow snatch
ed up~a pistol (which had fallen from
his fathers pocket and fired. The
father fell to the floor, dying in
stantly.
Sheriff Howard was summoned,
and, accompanied by Rural Police
man Samuels, went to the scene last
night. When they reached there
they found Walton lying in a puddle
OF Io on the floor of the room.
