the bureau she picked up the rifle
and piayfuily announced that "Ill
shoot YOU" to which the younger
child gleefully responded, Shoot"

cartridge was heard and the little
Junkins child fell over, seriously
wounded, the bullet having struck
her over the right eye, penetrating
the brain. When the child fell she
was still grasping her doll. Mrs.
