The son, who had gone to his own bed, irritated by the noise of the continued wrangle, rose saying he would not stand it any longer, went to his fathers bed-side, plunged a knife three times into his body, and went out of doors. The father sprang up and followed his son, declaring that he would kill him; but directly stopped, and called to his son to help him, say ing "you have killed me." The son assisted him to the house and then made his escape. .........
