DRUNKEN FATHER

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.
