Glass Fatally Flung by Enraged Father
GRIEF-STRICKEN NOW SON MORTALLY HURT (VKited P.A —By Telegraph Copyright) SYDNEY, Sunday. The jockeys at the Rosehill races yesterday wore black bands on their arms out of respect to their late comrade Edward Ellis, aged IS, whose death at Kensington, a suburb of Sydney, on Friday was attended by distressing circumstances.
The police say the father of the youth, Alfred R. Ellis, who is under arrest charged with the murder of his son, became irritable when his wife, his daughter and deceased arrived home after they had been shopping on Friday evening, because his tea was not ready.
The son took his mother’s part, and a tumbler was hurled at him. The glass broke on his neck and severed his jugular vein. The mother and father in the meantime were struggling. They were not aware that their son was bleeding to death outside the house, where he had fallen. The youth died a few minutes later. The father is now grief-stricken. He has been remanded on bail and two sureties of £SOO.
