Washington, Jan. 16-In her apart
ment in the Wellington hotel last
night, Mrs. Lucille Lane, youngest
daughter Of ex-senator Joe Blackburn
OF Kentucky. shot herself. According
TO the statement given out by the
family the shooting was accidental.
Both of Mrs. Lanes physicians refused
TO discuss the subject even to the ex-
tent of saying whether or not the
wound would prove fatal but from the
best that can be learned she win prob
ably recover. although now suffering
severely from the shock.
HOW IT HAPPENED.
A friend of the family nominated to
give out statement, said about mid
night on Saturday Mrs Lane was
preparing TO retire. Her husband at
the time was in the adjoining room
looking over the paper. Mrs. Lane
opened a bureau drawer to get a
handkerchief and picked up a handful
or gloves and laces which had been
tossed together in the drawer. Under
TINS Hu;ly mass was a tiny lady'S
pistol, q gif- TO Mrs. Lane from her
father, and d possession of which she
was particularly fond. It caught in a
piece of lace as she raised her hand
and, falling of its own weight, struck
the hammer on the edge of the open
drawer. The pistol exploded and the
ball penetrated her left breast. What
became % the ball it is impossible to
say According to the statement given
out il struck a rib and ranged around
beneath the left shoulder, making only
a slight wound.
SUFFERING FROM SHOCK.
At the same time it is said Mrs.
Lane IS suffering so from the shock
that the physicians have devoted all
their energies to rallying her without
attempting TO definitely ascertain the
extent Of the injury. The most pre-
else statement that either physician
would make tonight was that Mrs
Lane would probably live until morn
ing. At the request of the family. the
block in which the hotel is situated
has been roped off.
Senator Blackburn is deeply affected
by the occurrence. He does not live
with his daughter, and when the
affair occurred was summoned from
his room on New York avenue re-
manning thereafter at Mrs. Lanes
hotel.
