FATHER:
SHOOTS / {, SON.

Baltimore, June 6.--Moanlng plte-
ously in an upstairs room at the
Southwestern Police Station last
night was John Christian, 81 years
of 1908 Ramsey street, who had been
arrested|o on the charge Of shooting his
16.year-old son, George c. Christian,
who at a late hour in the night
was in q precarIous condition at the
Maryland University Hospital.
The police say that the shooting,
as far as they can learn, was entirely
accidental, but the father would not
be consoled. He only remembered
that he had shot his son and his dis
tress was painful. He implored Lieu
tenant Fullem TO have the news Of
the shooting conveyed to his wife
gently and that if possible it be kept
from his daughter, who is an inya-
lid.
The shooting was sad sequel to
afternoon of pleasure. The faith
er had joined his son and companion
Frederick lleinecke, in trip to the
woods to gather magnollas. Laden
with punches of the fragrant bios
SONS they were homewafd bound
when the accident happened.
While resting on the viaduct bridge
which spans Gwyn' S falls, in south
west Baltimore, young Helnecke
produced from his pocket a revolver.
Mr.. Christian took the weapon to
examine it and it accidentally explo-
ded. The bullet struck his son in
the temple and passed out through
the top Of his head. The boy fel
unconscious, blood oozing from I'll
wound, He was laid on the grass
where he was found unconscious by
Captain Shnltz, of the Southwestern
district. The boy was hurried of to
the hospital where the physicians
say his chances for recovery are very
slight.
