His father spoke to him in the oalm, gentie, kindly tone he alwaye used, He in- sists his father didn't know the gun of hie father, Frederick Husted, in the| was loaded and had no desire to die kitehen of their farmhouse in Green- wich, Conn., does not depart by a ayl- lable to-day from the story he told yea- terday when he rushed, distraught with fear and horror, and screamed to a neighbor that he had blown out his father's brains because his father or- dered him to do a0. From the boy's manner and his dazed, leaden way of repeating the story over and over again to neighbors, to the Polos, to his mother, to the Coroner and to Dr. J. A. Clark, the county medical examiner, one might think that he doesn't realize the significance of his deed. But in his choice of words he shows that he und nds, in all ite horrible details, what he has done and that it has had an effect on his child's mind from which ha will probably never recover. + He is a typical farmer's boy in ap: Dearance, tall for his age, rather lank, with sandy hair and blue eyes that do not avold your gaze when he speaks He wears the usual canvas overalls with shoulder straps and resembled his father in looks and temperament. Wife Thinks It Accident. Mrs. Husted, the mother, does not believe her husband intended to com- mit suicide, She dnaiate that it was @ case of accidental shooting, and that Husted did not believe he was decetv- ing his son when he told him the gun was not loaded. Her husband, she says, was happy and prosperous, al- though he had worked very hard and had worried over the lifting of @ mort- gage on the farm. In the dim little parlor of the farm- house, with its stiff, old-fashioned furnt- ture, the boy repeated the story to-day to an Evening World reporter. His mother sat nearby and the recttal was interrupted only by her sobs. Lester does. not ory, He doesn’t seam to be able to. “Father told me to do it," said the boy, speaking tn a calm, even tone. “He told me to, and I had to do what he told me to. He never told me to do | anything wrong before, and I had nev- er disobeyed him. So what could I do?" | This seemed to settle the matter in the boy's mind, and even now that he understands the terrible result of that | obedience he seems to derive some com- | fort from the fact that up to the very Yast he did not disobey his father, “Fred awoke from his afternoon nap wterday,” Mrs. Husted said, “Just as was going out and sald he felt a pain in his head, T told him I would stay with him, but he sald no and tnetsted that I go and gave me a mensage to & neighbor t some eggs. I went over to Mrs, Charles Young's and IT hadn't been there long before sombody came and sald there was an accident and T ran home with Miss Young and her * | brother. “I fainted when 1 saw Fred, and I think what I saw will always be before my eyes. I cannot belleve he would commit sulcide, but I must beHeve my boy. He has never told me @ ie. Fred had no reason to want to dia He worked hard and had paid off a mort- gage on the place and had Just refused an $80,000 offer for it. So TY know he ought to have been happy.
