HE TASTED LEAD.
A Boy With a Revolver
Shoots Himself.
CLAIMED HE WAS SHOT AT
From Back Window of the Lick
House.
STARTLED THE NEiGHBORHOOD.
Frank p. Dunphy's Dangerous Toy
Exploded in an, Alley and Then
1t Was Thrown Away.

A mysterious shot was fired about 10
minutes to O'Clock laSt'nlght In Vermehr
place. an alley between Post aud Suffer
streets, from Kearny east. The bullet
struck Frank P. Dunphy. boy II years OF
age, on the right side over the hip.
.Dunphy had his boots polished by Joe
Gsrmane, who has stand in the alley.
and was walking eastward with tha inten-
tion of entering the Lick House Dy a'rear
door, when the shot was fired.
Germaine heard the shot and turned
around to see whence it came. The alley
was dark ana deserted save for the pres
ence of young Dun ply, who was standing
near the rear door of the Lick House.
Dunphy came toward him, holding a hand
on his hip Pm shot," the youth said.
DR.. McAllister was sitting on the shoe
blacks stand at the time and instantly
proceeded to make an Investigation. but
he could see nobody in the alley except
Dunphy, who fastened to the Montsom-
cry street entrance of the Lick House to
reach the room of Harry Rosenfeld, his
brother-in-law
A crowd quickly gathered and watched
policeman searching: for the supposed
shooter. The search had to be given up.
and the conclusion was reached that some
one had shot Dunphy from the hotel
through window. i.
About two hours later small pistol,
with one chamber empty. was found under
pile of boxes in the alley by reporter
who accompanied the detectives. Captain
Lees was present. and, as Dunphy's cloth
ing was powder bnrned, he declared that
the boy had shot himself accidentally and
thrown the revolver away. In this theory
his men concurred, and subsequent de-
velopments proved beyond doubt it was
correct.
Dr. TAFT found hat the bullet had pene-
trated Dunphy's side above the right hip.
and after passing obliquey downward and
forward lodged under the skin. whence
it was easily extracted. The bullets shape
was preserved. The caliber was 80, CORE
spending with that of the pistol
found among the boxes Around where
1t entered Dunphy's coat the WOODEN hber
was burned from close contact with the
pistols muZzle. From this it was evident
thot Dunphy was lad who carried a
'gun" and was afraid to admit 1t. While
handling the weapon. which is of the
hammeresS variety and easily exploded,
it went off Just over the Goa pocket.
The wound, though serious enough, was
not considered dangerous by the physician.
Dunphy is son of the captain Of the
ship Willie R1senfeld and a br0ther-in-
law of young Rosenfeld. who was shot re-
Gently in Gobey's saloon on Suffer- street
by A. Ii. Loughborough Jr., another boy
