KILLS Three AND

Drink Crazed Son Murders Father,
Stepmother, Officer.

jamestown, n. Y, June 49,
Fred Shaver of this city, late yester-
day shot and killed his father, his
stepmother and a policeman, and
was himself killed by other officers.
The weapons used were rifles.
Shaver's act is attributed to drink
and a quarrel with his father. The
latter, Hudson Shaver, 67 years old,
and we'll to do, was married June Z
to Ruth Campbell, 81.
Yesterday afternoon the son went
to his fathers apartments, where,
after a dispute, the older man fed
to the hall. There he fell dead from
a rifle ball. The sound of the shot
attracted Officer Kendall, who ran
up the stairway.
Young Shaver shot the policeman
in the chest and hip. The wounds
proved fatal an hour later.
The murderer then barricaded
himself in the apartment and the
Staying of his stepmother probably
occurred soon after that.
Later Shaver appeared in the win
dow and several policemen stationed
across the street fired in quick sue
cession and he fell back to the floor.
The officers broke open the door and
found young Shaver dead.
