Knifing of Son
Mel Leath was formally charged
with “stabbing with intent to kill"
today by U. S. Attorney P. J. Gil
more, Jr,, in a complaint signed by
Sid Thompson, U. S. Marshal.
Leath and his 5-year-old son,
Jimmy are both in St. Ann's hos
pital and now believed to be recov
ering from knife wounds received
last Friday night. Mrs. Leath said
after the stabbing that Leath ap
parently went berserk and plunged
a kitchen knife Into the chest
of the boy, then stabbed himself.
Gilmore is in possession of a con
fession, said to have been obtained
from Leath. Gilmore reports Leath
as admitting that he wanted to kill j
the boy and himself.
The charge filed by Gilmore would
carry a 20-year maximum penalty
should Leath be convicted.
However. Leath is under observa
tion at the hospital to determine his :
mental status, and it has been hint
ed that an insanity complaint may
later be filed.
Mrs. Leath has been keeping
nearly 24-hour vigil at the bedside
of her son, who was at first not!
expected to live.
