Mother's prayers answered as son freed to see dying mother
In Pittsburg on May 17 Judge Marshall Brown released Joseph Ashton from a county jail sentence 24 hours before its end. Ashton rushed to his home and found his 67 year old mother Mrs. Ashton near death but recognized him and briefly spoke his name before slipping into a restful sleep. Doctors later called his visit beneficial, and the family hopes for recovery. Ashton had been sentenced five months earlier for a misdemeanor. The mother, worn by worry and illness, had whispered his name during lucid moments.
