E1raged by an ApriI-FOOl Prank,
Father Shoots Daughter and
Himself.
AShe lille D spatc 18th.
Enraged at his Is year old
daughter. Nellie, because of Q
harmless school girl prank, DR..
4. o Swinney, who recently
came here from New York, fred
two shots at her, fatally wound
ing her, and then turning the re-
volver on himself placed the
muzzle in his mouth and pulled
the trigger, dying almost in
stantly.
The tragedy occurred in the
reception room of the Normal
and Collegiate Institute, a large
girls boarding school in this city,
where Miss Swinney had been a
pupil for the past session. Just
what occurred prior to the shoot
ing is not known. as there we're
no witnesses, and the girl, while
still conscious, could give but a
vague account. DIR. Swinney,
who up to a few years ago had
been prominent physician in
New York City, has for some
time past been in poor health, and
Of late, it is alleged his mind had
been unbalanced.
Recently his daughter was one
of nun ber of the school girls
who, as an April fool joke, at
sented themselves from school,
and the father brooded over the
little escapade until it assumed
to him the proportions of actual
wrong doing. When DR.. Swim
ney called on his daughter at the
school this afternoon about
o'clock, be was shown into the
reception room, and few mil
utes later his daughter came
down and went into the room
closing the door behind her.
She sat down at the piano, bel
father sitting beside her. Hal
an hour later girls and teachers
were startled by four shots ring
ing out, and a second afterwards
Miss Sweeney, with bioodstream
ing from the wounds in her head
came rushing from the room. II
a few minutes the widest confu
sion reigned, school girls ant
women teachers running her.
and there, but Miss Robinson
the principal, speedily restored
order and hastily summoned
physician.
Miss Swinney was desperatel,
wounded and there is littl,
chance for her recovery. Th,
room In which the tragedy oc
Cured showed signs of a hare
struggle. Chairs we're over
turned and the piano stool, Will
one leg broken, was lying in tn,
middle of the room. The fathe
was lying on the floor, at onesid
of the room, face downward will
the revolver, with four cham Der
empty, under him.
J The attempted murder and su
iclde we're evidently deliberatel,
planned, as before going to tn,
school DIR. Swinney bought a re
volver and two rounds of carl
ridges at pawn shop.
Although it is said his mind ha
been balanced for some time
he had never been violent an
his family was totally unpre
pared for the dreadful tragedy
He vas a father-in-law of DIR )
O. Sinclair, a prominent DENTS
, of this city, and since his retur
from New York a few weeks az
DR.. Swinrey had made his HON
with him.
