IN NEW WISE CASE
Edith Maxwell Whipping
Murder Is Similar to
Shotgun Staying.
By the Associated Press.


BIG STONE GAP, Va, November
30.-A 16-year-old Wise County boy,
charged with the shotgun Staying of
his father in their Wildcat Valley
shack, today told a story of self
defense, paralleling the account given
by the 21-year-old defendant in the
celebrated Edith Maxwell whipping
murder case in the nearby town of
Wise.
The boy is Abram Falin. who told
Deputy Sheriff Dan Bostic upon
voluntarily surrendering last night,
that he slew his father. L. N. Falin,
when the latter knocked him down
and threatened to kill him with a
pistol.
The officer said he found the elder
Falin lying face downward, a 81
caliber revolver in one hand, at the
house. The gun had not been fired.
The nountaineer's son was quoted
by Bostic as saying that his father
had become enraged et him in an
argument over the family automobile.
Cash on Head Is Treated.
The boy today nursed a large head
cash. which was treated by DR.. j. A.
Gilmer here last night, as he awaited
transfer from the Big Stone Gap lock-
up to Wise, the county seat There
he will be placed in the same jail
with Miss Maxwell, a school teacher,
who last week was sentenced to IS
years imprisonment for killing her
father, Trigg Maxwell, in resisting a
whipping.
Like the school teacher, who claimed
her blacksmith father was roaring
drunk" when she hit him with slip
per heel. young Falin said his father
was intoxicated, Bostic stated.
The deputy said he noticed 'the
old man had been drinking" when the
latter came to see him near pm.

rant charging a Scott County man
with breaking into Falin's small store.
"I didn't think then that he was
drunk enough to lock up the officer
explained.
The boy came back to Big Stone
Gap last night and DR.. Gilmer
stitched up the cut in his head. He
then surrendered to Bostic.
Argued About Car.
The argument which preceded the
Staying, Abram was quoted by Bostic
as saying, began when the Falins'
motor car broke down on the road
half mile from their home.
The old man accused the boy of
letting the water in the car run dry,
but the boy said that the breakdown
was caused by the leaking of grease
around the spark plugs" Bostic said.
When they got to the house on
foot the old man hit the boy over
the head with gun and swore he
was going TO kill him." the officer
said.
Bostic said the boy got up from the
floor and went into another room to
get a double-barreled shotgun. Com
ing from the room he met his father.
who had the pistol in his hand, and
fired. His father fell mortally
wounded.
THE boy told me that his father
shot first, but none of the cart
ridges in the pistol had been fired
when I took it from Falin's hand" the
officer said.
Cases Are Similar.
The case resembled in a number of
aspects the Maxwell one.
The comely college-educated young
woman contended at her trial that
she loved and respected" her father
and hit him with a high-heeled slip
per only after he threatened her with
knife and seized her by her hair at
their home in Pound, Va, the night

British satisfaction was expressed
