WOMAN KILLED IN USING
CARTRIDGE FOR HAMMER

ted States torpedo station at Newport
News.
The woman's right hand was torn OF at
the wrist, her left hand was mutilated
part of the cartridge penetrated her
breast and cut her heart and lungs out,
and her back also was cut by parts of
the shell.
Mrs. Barnes had left the children In the
kitchen so that they would not see her
prepare the Christmas tree, which was to
be set up in the archway between parlor
and sitting room. Evidently she had been
rearranging the curtains of the archway so
that the candles on the tree would not
set the curtains on fire. Using the cart
rluge for a tack hammer, she was in
stantly killed by the explosion that re-
suited.
