OLD BOY SHOT
BY PLAYMATE
Accidental Discharge of High
Powered Rifle Ends Life of
Cornelius HinkIe

Barlow, April 15.JOhn Everett,
the fifteen year old boy in whose
hands the gun which killed Cornelius
Hinkle was discharged, was brought
TO Barlow today for hearing before
County Judge Spessard Holland
which is in progress as we go to
press.
Cornelius Clarence Hinkle, the Is,
year-oid, son of Mrs. c., Fl. Cornforth,
OF North Tennessee and Oak streets,
this city, was shot and instantly killed
by the discharge of gun, supposed
to be accidental, by John +. Everett,
Is, son OF Frank Everett, residing two
miles north of Lakeland.
The two boys, accompanied by
Charles Everett, brother of John, and
William Dotty, all of about the same
age, were in an old house a mile out
side the city, preparing for hike.
Three of the boys had guns, the one
with which the fatal shooting was
done being high powered 25-35
rifle, belonging to the father of the
Everett boys, another armed with
50, and another with a single barrel
shot gum
According to the story of the shoot
ing, as finally related by the boys,
Cornelius was lying on the floor read
ing the New Testament. He remarked
jokingly, Shoot me while Pm happy"
John Everett, replying "I'll oblige
you," pointed the high power gun at
Cornelius. The gun went off, shoot
ing the boy through the left breast,
piercing the heart, and passing, entire
ly through the body.
Fearing they would be charged with
the murder of their companion the
boys tried to frame defense. Two
of them remained with the body,
while the third went to announce the
accident. Subsequently they went to
Kathleen and informed Deputy Sher.
if Tom Allen of the killing.
The boys were brought to Lake
land, where coroners jury was EN-
panelled. 1t proceeded to the old
house where the body of the dead boy
was lying and held the inquest The
jury was composed OF ]. f Harrison
l.. w. Bloom, l.. H. Ballard, G. A.
Hardaker, w. R. McCloud and M. L.
Brown. The boys told the jury at
first that Cornelius was showing his
strength of muscle by holding the
gun at arms length. with the muzzle
pointed toward him, when 1t was dis
charged. But the Dotty boy subse
quently asked for ,an interview with
Deputy Allen to whom he told the
story OF. the shooting, and the other
boys corroborated it when they saw
1t was useless to deny further.
The eoroner's jury found from the
evidence that the shooting was acci
