shot by his brother-in-law, Thomas
Birmingham, is still alive, but his
condition is critical. He was wound
ed in the back with a charge from q
shotgun while visiting at the Bir-

taken to St. Louis, where he was
under treatment in a sa~nitarium for

was apparently cured, but a few days

his malady. He suddenly grew worse,
got a shotgun and fired on Conner,
who was trying to escape. There
was no enmity between the men and
the shooting was merely the result
of an insane whim.
