MOTHER WAITS FOR SON. Call Goes Up From Sick Room for Man Who Is in Prison. Logansport, Ind., March 25. — Mrs. Poundstone, mother of Oscar Welty, the former Kokomo constable who has just begun a life sentence 'for killing a colored man at Kokomo, is dying at her home at Young America. She does not know that her son killed a man, or that he is in prison. She has been critically ill for more than a year. All newspapers have been kept from her, and all callers have been warned not to mention Welty. She has been asking for her son, and is sad because he does not visit her.
