V
Walter Coyle, Crated With Liquor, leats
Bit Aged father to Death.
K horrible murder, distressing In detail,
was committed at the village of Darraign
r., near the Madison coal works, at an
early hour Sunday morning. Walter Coyle-
miner employed at tho Ocean mine, cruel
ly and without provocation deliberately mur
dered his aged father, Patrick Coyle. oung
Coyle bas been from youth disobedient and
wayward, and when under the influence of
liquor was quarrelsome and illnatured.
A year aud half ago he married and ft
few months ago a bade was born to them.
Sine) that time the wife's mind bas been
weaklng and recently the unfortunate wom
an's reason was entirely dethroned. Last Fri
day h was taken to an Insane asylum, and
the little child taken to the home of, Coyle's
father nnd mother.
Snturday young Coyle left early for the
vicinity of the ocean mines and there he
spent the day drinking and carousing. He
returned Into Suudny night to hls's father's
bouse nnd when he entered he was severely
upbraided by his father for his course that
day and for his neglect of the babe. He at
once dew Into a rage and with an oath dealt
tha aged man a blow that felled to the floor.
Like a wild beast and with bitter curses he
pouncel down upon the prostrate form of bis
parent, and beat bis face and head until
life was extinct. The aged mother, with the
crying babe in her arms, knelt near tho
murderous son and Implored him to spare
the life of his father, but with the prayer's
came curses and heavier blows. Fearing for
her life at the hands of the si-emlngly crazed
son, the poor old woman fled from the bouse
to give warning of the horrible deed.
Presently a half doxen miners came upon
the scene, and then began an awful light
with the blood-stained murderer. Finally
be was overpowered.
Patrick Coyle, the murdered man, was 70
years old, and a faithful employe of the
Madison coal company. For several years
be bas leen employed as road man. He
came to this country from Ireland many
years ago. He leaves a wlfeand tnree child
