The papers were read to day and re- vealed the determination of Edward to kill his father and also his aunt. The final act was to be his own The son was once in partnership with his father in the business making whips, was worth considera- bla property and was married. Six ye@rs ago his wife procured a di- voree on the ground of drunkenness. When his pr operty was gone he led a bad life and got what money he could from his father until the latter refused to give him any more. The story of the tragedy is a brief one Mr. King was lying asleep in bed and his wife, who had not un- dressed, was on a sofain the same room. It was about 2 o'clock when she was awakened by revolver shots. The son had stolen throught the sit- ting room and without a word aimed closely and fired three shots into the body of his father.
