POISONS MOTHER.

"TO PUT HER OUT OF HER

· MISERY."

Berlin-A son who adored his mother, yet poisoned her to put her out of her misery, was arrested in Berlin, but he was released.

He will await his trial for the crime, which was committed three years ago and which only now has been revealed.

His mother suffered for years from an incurable and painful disease. The pain one night was so unbearable that the son, who was then 23, was unable to stand the sight of his mother's sufferings and put a quick poison in a glass of water and gave it her to drink, She died the same night and was buried without suspicion, but the son became remorseful and tried to commit suicide. He was saved by relatives, to whom he confessed

the deed.
