DISGRACE KILLING A MOTHER

Her Son, Manacled and Under Guard, Is Allowed to Be at Her « Bedside. Muncie, Ind., July 31.—Dying of a broken heart because her son, of whom riie was proud, was sent to prison, Mrs. Mary Foulke, eighty years old, is comforted in her final hours by the presence at her bedside, through the kindness of Governor Hanly, of the son, George Foulke. Accompanied by a prison guard, young Foulke has been at home for several days, but he probably will be compelled to return to prison this week, whether his mother is still alive or not.

He is manacled, even in the presence of his parent, Officer John Hurst, of the prison, fearing to give him even this relief. Physicians say that Mrs. Foulke can not live many days. When her son was sent to prison for burgtarly she broke down. Her health has failed constantly since, although previously to that time she was strong and well.
