Fitts further characterized the shooting as a “very regretable happening.” “From information I have gathered,’ Fitts said. “the boy instinctively ran to the aid of his mother when she was | being struck by his father, and this | certainly was a natural result of ms,' affection for his mother.” Richard told police he and his father | had gone to their ranch near here yes- ierday afternoon where the foreman told Howard that Mrs. Elizabeth Rich- ter, Mrs. Howard's mother, had been talling other relatives “what father was doing.” Upon their return home, Richard said, Howard drank some iiquor and started cursing Mrs. Richter. Then, the lad declared, his father “cursed | mother,” and “mother started scream- | ing. I saw father hitting and choking her. I don't remember anything else until T saw father fall.” Detectives said the lad got his small caliber automatic rifie and shot his father twice while the man climbed the | stairs. | LINER BEATS OWN RECORD. | Mauretania Ste1ms 630 Miles in | 24-Hour Run. | NEW YORK, August 19 (#).—Speed- ing toward Southhampton in quest of | her lost laurels, the liner Mauretania surpassed her record of 626 miles for the fastest day’s run eastward by steam- ing 630 miles from noon Saturday to noon yesterday, at an average of 27.4 knots.
