Father and Grandfather Die in Electric Chair; Mother Asks, ‘What Will Become of Children?’

By ALEXANDER -HERMAN SEA Service Writer Gs— JLOUCESTER, N. J., Aug. 4. —Thomas Allen, 2, and his ___ brother, Edward, J., 3, still look upon life with a smile. Their mother, only 22, fears that their aspect soon will change. If heredity means anything, these youngsters start life under a tremendous handicap. Their father recently was electrocuted for murder. Their grandfather met his end the same way. Their uncle is in a reformatory. Their mother faces the job of counteracting these influences in an environment of poverty. *• V • —— iLLEN, his father-in-law, A and another man paid the penalty for the murder of a farmer, whom they tried to rob. After nearly a year of litigation the State took its due —with three lives for one. That's justice which Mrs. Allen can’t comprehend. "No thought was given to me,” she says. “No thought was given to the two children, who will have to become charges of the State, if anything happens to me. “If only one of the men were left to make my lot easier!” • * • l_ yiOMELESS and penniless, 11—I Mrs. Allen sought succor of I* x l the several agencies. Aside from advise, there . was little forthcoming, until Mrs. Minnie White, a neighborly took her in tow. “There’s too much slush in tnis world,” says she. "Too much sentiment and not enough action. “Nothing is as black as it looks. Mrs. Allen has only two kids to worry about. I had five when I first became a widow.” That was back in Columbus, Ohio, shortly after the Johnstown flood. Mrs. White's husband, an engineer, was killed in a train wreck. “And I mothered those five, had eight more by subsequent marriage,” she says, “and raised thirty other children on the side.” Mrs. White became a professional nurse. * * • • UINDER such guidance Mrs. Allen has taken anew lease u on life. She too. has turned nurse. But not for her own children. She has a job caring for the youngster of a wealthier family in town. And she leaves her children with Mrs. White. With the money earned the widow hopes to make a go of it until her two little boys grow big enough to help her in turn. ~~ But between that time and this, there looms a big cloud that casts its shadow over the worried mother. What kind of children will hers grow up to be?
