killed instantly" she said. But
they Othe bodyguard) didn't have
TO kill him the way they did. They
didn't have TO kill him at all"
Mrs. Weiss said her son attended
Sunday morning mass with his
wife and three months-o ld baby
boy, then went to the parents home
for Sunday dinner. The entire fam
iv later went 10 q nearby lake
shore where Doctor Weiss fished
and swan IN the afternoon.
we had no word, no intimation,
nothing" she said. "All We know
Is that he took living seriously.
Right with him was right. Right
above everything. But I'm so afraid
now. I don't know what they will
try 10 do with us.
my son and his wife went IN
swimming while my husband and 7
stayed on the shore in the camp,
playing with the baby. We stayed
out there IN the woods all day. We
never came back to the city until
almost 1880 o'clock Sunday night.
MY son and his wife let me and
his father off ut our house while
they went on home TO make their
own supper"
Doctor Weiss, the mother said.
ate supper and then went out In
the yard and fed the dog and
fondled ii. At $3.50 p. m. he called
a patient and told him to be at
the hospital early Monday morning
for the operation for which they
had arranged.
Then we helped Yvonne, his
wife, put the baby TO bed.
AT 9 o'clock he had to 20 out
on q sick call. This Is what I can
not understand. The capitol Is only
a stones throw from his house.
Maybe he went over there 10 look
in. because we knew 10 would be In
session Sunday night. I don't know
why he went In. None Of us can
understand II.
But he must have gone almost
straight from his house to the capt.
toll. for his wife says positively IL
was about Q o'clock when he left.
"Ar day Sunday we were Just q
happy family group. We have been
so proud OF him. He had the whole
world in front Of him.
The first I knew OF what had
happened was when q newspaper.
man came to this house Sunday
night and told me my boy had shot
a'Oh, no. no. I cried. MY boy
never did that. My boy never could
have done anything like that. Not
my boy I guess now that Is what
any mother would have said. But
he was q fine boy, keen and intel
ligent beyond the average. He was
always reading In q book and he
could do anything. Eectricity-he
could take care Of that. Carpentry.
Cooking. Anything. His future was
brilliant"
When asked where her son had
obtained the gun with which he
shot Lon, Mrs. Weiss said he had
the gun, and often, when the whole
family went out 70 their camp In
the woods, they took turns firing II
at objects In the water.
I'VE did not use the gun Sun
day" the motherf said. "We may
have had the gun In the car. be-
cause his wife, Yvonne, says he
often carried II In his car for pro-
lection. as 50 many people do. His
wife did not see the gun Sunday
at any time.
"The only thing I am grateful
for in this terrible thing is this:
Thank God Senator Long was not
killed. I thank God for that. Ny
boy Is dead. but ! would never want
10 have that on his soul. He IS
dead. my son. There Is no undoing
that"
The whole family has felt bitter
toward Senator Long. Mrs. Weiss
said. because OF his political actions,
but never was anything said Of an
attempt on the life OF Long.
"Our family Is q family that abb
hors bloodshed. This Is q terrible
thing. I wish that nothing may be
said about this, about my boy. be-
cause I know that no one will give
him justice after what has hap
pened. ! don't look for justice in
this world. I do not think there Is
justice in this world"
