SHOOTING OF BOYS
DEPLORFD BY ROTAN
District Attorney Admonishes
Detectives for Careless Use
OF Their Revolvers
SLAYER OF YOUTH is HELD

Samuel p. Rotan, district attorney
commenting on the cases of two boys
felled by shots fired by railroad detec
tives in the last two days, said, "More
care should be exercised by private
detectives in handling their revolvers. ."
One of the victims was killed, while the
other is in a serious condition.
"This ought especially to be the
case where the life of boy is at
stake" he said. "The mere fact that
a boy runs, or tampers with a freight
car, and it is not certain that the dead
boy did, is no excuse for a man in the
employ of the railroad to take a pot
shot at him.
Mr.. Rotan was discussing the killing
of fifteen -year-old William Shaeffer
1885 South Twenty ninth street. on
Wednesday by George Beading, a spe-
cial officer employed by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad.

time the son says the parent was like
