DISCHARGES PISTOL AND
RECEIVES CALL FROM POLICE
Youthful Restaurant EmpIoye to
Explain Wound in Forefinger

Joe Tul, II years old, restaurant
employee, was found today in his room
at the Willard apartments, 200 Frank
lin street, with a bullet wound in his
left forefinger He was taken to the
receiving hospital by detectives, who
were detailed to investigate the mat
ter, and later was locked up on sus-
picion of a felony.
The young man told the detectives
that he was examining a pistol which
he had purchased several days ago,
when it was discharged. 1t developed
later that Tul was employed at res
taurant at Col Central avenue and quit
his position without giving his en-
ployer due notice. This angered the
restaurant man and when Tul re-
fused to work a few hours until
man could be hired to fill his place
the employer refused to pay Tul for
his services.
An alteration is said to have en-
sued and Tul finally left in an angry
mood.
Soon afterward Tul went to his
room. The detectives are not satisfied
with the statement made by the young
man. They are trying to learn
whether Tul attempted to commit sui
eide or was testing the weapon with
a view to returning to his place of
employment and harming the restau-
rant keeper
