Thomas Pendergast, Jr., killed his father. He drove a butcher knife into the older man's heart, and he drove it with such force t,h blade protruded three Inches from the back. The man had come home Satur day night reeling under liquor. He had done it before, his widow told police in a tired voice; done It often. The 35 yeara of their marriage, she said, had been a nightmarish routine of drunken brutality. He was rarely sober and seldom kind; and not only she but their eight children, too. knew the cruel strength of his hand. Once, the children Mid, he had broken the leg of his wife, so fiercely did he strike her. Bruises were no stranger to her face, nor welts to her body. In those dark hours when he awaited the birth of a child even then he had struck her, beaten her. She is 60 years old. and weighs only 80 pounds. Saturday night, drunk once more, Pendergost floundered up the dark stairway and drove Thomas, Jr., 23, and Betty, 21, to the street with oatths and blows. He glowered me nacingly at his wife. Thomas, Jr, and his sister slipped back into the house. The younger Pendergost told police later: "Yes, I killed him. He's been abusing my mother beating her. I stood It as long as X could. I grabbed the knife to frighten him I was mad. At the top of the stairs I struck at him." The body, the knife driven through the heart, swayed errlly, then pitched backward and rolled to the bottom. The youth was still standing at the top of the stairs, horror-stricken, when the police arrived. Today he was called to court to answer for patricide. .
