Son Kills Parents In Revenge Case At Austin
Howard Pierson aged 21, son of Texas Associate Justice William Pierson, confessed to killing his parents on a lonely road to avenge a grievance. He led officers to the murder site where a pistol and other items were found, claiming highwaymen initially attacked them. Pierson, a former University of Texas student, said he killed his mother and father and then himself in an apparent bid to hide the crime. Justice Pierson served in the Texas House and as a district judge before becoming a state supreme court justice in 1921.
