ALBERT NICHOLAS, THE VICTIM OF
PLAYMATE'S BULLET, DEAD.
HI Wish 1t Had Killed Me-" SObs
Young Harrington i'm Cell Charged
with Murder.

Albert Nicholas, 23l East Morris street,
the twelve year-old boy who was shot In
the stomach by his playmate, Marshall
Harrington, on Friday, Nov. 2S while the
two boys, in company with a younger
brother of Nicholas, were. hunting birds
in an alley in the rear of their homes.
died at O'Clock yesterday morning after
suffering much agony.
The bullet which caused the lads death
was fired from a fobert rifle and pene-
trated the intestines. making seven per-
forations. Drs. Durham and Keeney, who
attended the boy from the time of his in
jury until the hour of his death, at no
time held out hope for his recovery. The
shooting of the boy, it is said. was pure
ly accidental, and while young Harrington
was arrested and is at the present time
held behind the bars at the Marion county
Jail, it is not believed that he will be con-
victed of the murder of his youthful COM
panion. On the day when the fatal shot
was fired Harrington was placed under
arrest by Bicyclemen Askins and Duncan,
who charged the boy with shooting with
intent to kill. The younger Nicholas boy
told a story of the affair which placed the
Harrington lad in bad position, but 1t
is believed that owing TO his excitement
the younger Nicholas was unable at that
time to give a correct account OF what he
saw.
After rallying between life and death for
nearly two weeks young Nicholas sank into
an unconscious sleep, from which he never
fully awakened His parents and rel itives
were at his bedside when he died. and he
reused himself enough to recognize them
for the last time.
The charge against yourg Harrington was
changed yesterday from shooting with in
tent to kill to murder, and he was notified
of the death of his playmate. When told
of Nicholas's death he broke down COM
pletely and cried that he would rather the
bullet hao killed him than his friend. He
| took the news very hard, and all night long
his sobs could be heard in the jail corri-
dors
Harrington has been very unfortunate
during his short life, and especially have
| his msfortunes had to do with firearms.
| Several months ago while playing with a
revolver in front of his home the weapon
was accidentally discharged and the bullet
