A sadder occurrence can hardly be
imagined than the recent death OF a
public man in Georgia at the hands
OF his own wife. who shot him in his
home at night in mistake for a bur
giar. The house. it seems. had been
disturbed by burglars, and a shotgun
was kept on hand as a precautionary
measure. This instance. which is only
one OF many such tragedies brought TO
public notice in recent years. compels
the reflection whether vastly more
harm than good does not come from
keeping firearms in a home for pro-
tective purposes.
