q little baby about year and a half
old. The boy who did the shooting is
Frustrated and unable to tell any con-
nected story of the accident. When 1t
came to taking the dead child to the
undertaking rooms it was necessary to
use force to get the father to relax
his grasp on the corpse which he had
been frantically hugging to his breast
for over an hour and all the time call
ing to his little one to speak to him.
The parents of both the children in
volved are poor people and all are in
very serious condition on account OF
the accident.
The father of the dead boy stated
that he was satisfied the shooting was
accidental and asked that no action be
taken other than the informal inquiry
