MYSTERIOUS
SHOOTING

Philadelphia. April y. With her
big blue eyes filled 9 with tears,
Annie Slower, a beautiful l9-year.
old girl, was committed without
bail yesterday, at the police station
Twenty-sixth and York streets.
She will remain prisoner there
until the Corouer's Jury determines
to-day how her father received a
bullet in his brain, which injury
was sustained at their home, No.
26lO Dauphin street, on Saturday
night, and which caused his death
in the Women's homeopathic Hos j..
pital shortly after clock yester-
da ymorning.
Annie was the only member of the
family 10 the house when her father
was found in the rear yard with a
death wound in his left temple.
There is no evidence to direct sus-
plcion TO the daughter. but Lieu
tenant Magee was obliged to have
Miss Slower formally detained until
the my stery surrounding the killing
OF her father has been investigated
by the Coroner.
The uncertainty as to the way in
which George Slower was shot is
most puzzling. lie did not commit
suicide. No weapon was discovered
near him and there were no powder
marks, such as would have been
made had pistol been dsch arged
at close range. Only sixty feet
away on Dauphin street stood a
policeman about the time Slower
was shot, but neither the officer nor
the neis hbors heard the report oil
tirearm. Still, it was a stormy
night and doors and windows were
tightly closed. There is strong
theory held by some that stray
bullet iron an air gun or Flobert
rifle pierced the man S brain.
Some time ago the Slower family
cat was shot, whilea coop Of pigeons

unfortunate man : house might have
invited the bullet that accidentally
