SHOT HIS OWN SON.
Marlboro Farmer Fills Boys Body
With Bird Shot.

Marlboro, Mass, October 29.-Daniel
Fitzgerald, farmer, was arrested today
charged with shooting his ten year old
son Michael and will be arraigned on
Monday. The boy is not believed to be
dangerously wounded. The affair oc.
CURED this morning at the Fitzgerald
farm on the Stowe road, two miles from
this city. According to the boys story
he was harnessing the horse for the pur-
pose of taking his mother to church
when his father came out of the house
and ordered him not to take the horse
away. He had shot gun in his hands
and without any parIeying, so far as can
be learned from the boys story, he raised
the gun and fired. Some 10 bird shot
entered the boys body, two taking effect
directly over the heart, while the others
ranged downward to the thigh. A
brother Of the boy at once carried him In
the wagon to the Office of DR.. Richard
son, who in turn notified Chief of Police
Pope who placed Fitzgerald under arrest.
The latter was much excited and is un-
derstood to have admitted that he fired
the gun but said he did not intend to shoot
the boy.

HOHENLOHE'S RESIGNATION
He Withdrew Because 1t Bother ed
william to Talk With Him.

Berlin, October 28.-Prince Hohenlohe,
in conversation with representative of
the Associated Press made some interest
ing statements regarding his resigna-
ton OF the chanceIlorship. Although
expressing himself with great caution he
cited as the principal reason for resign
ing, the fact that he had noticed for some
time a growing desire to ignore him on
several OCCASIONS He noticed that his
increasing deafness, especially in the left
ear, had made it annoying for Emperor
William to converse with him.
While Prince Hohenlohe would not
say particularly what very recent occa-
sion had particularly emphasized this
inclination to ignore him, he asserted
that this was the immediate cause of
his going to Hamburg with a written re-
quest to relinquish his official burdens
This, he said, he presented in person to
Emperor William, who seemed aston
ished, but replied that in view OF the
advanced age Of the Prince he would not
urgs him to reconsider the resignation,
1t also appears that his parting with the
Kaiser was affectionate and that both
remain on good terms. When Prince
HohenlOhe returns to Berlin for the
winter, he intends to frequent the court
and its festivities, his physician having
him to this course as they consider that
total absence of excitement would en-
danger his life. He is about to go to his
ancestral home at Sohilnngsfuerst. Later
he will 90 to Munich and then to Moran,
in the Austrian Tyrol, or to Italy, where
he hopes to get relief from an annoying
cough

BALL THAT KILLED BAILEY
Experts Asked to Pass Upon the Fatal
Bullet.

Lynn, Mass, October 28.-State Otficsr
Harry Proctor has returned from his
trip to various fire arms establishments
went to obtain expert comparisons OF
the bullets found in George e. Bailey
body and those found at the Break
Heart hill farm. He visited the Win
chester Arms company factory In New
Haven, Colts factory in Hartford, the
Government armory, Smith &c Wesson's
and Marlin in Springfield, and in all
hut one OF these places, their experts
made critical tests.
At the Winchester works where the
ammunition and the 59-calibre rifle
found at the farm were made, he was
able to obtain little Information that he
did not already possess as they seemed
disinclined to become mixed up in the
murder case at all.
At the other places, especially the
United States arsenal, the services OF
their experts were placed at his disposal
and everything possible done to assist
him.
Officer Proctor says that from what
he has learned, he is satisfied in his
own mind, that Bailey was murdered
with a bullet from a 38-calibre rifle,
the rifle found at the farm is the one
from which the bullet was fired.
1t is claimed by others, who are con-
Quoting the Investigations, however, that
the government will be able to prove that
the murder was committed with that
rifle which is now In their possessions.
This is In direct opposition to the claim
of the defense, that the weapon used
was not rifle, but a revolver. Further
tests Will be made with revolver ammu-
milton by experts at Springfield and
Hartford, and with rifles at thde United
States arsenal and Marlin works, the re-
suits OF which will be submitted to those
prosecute ng the case against John G.
Best.
