Herr, AZ, one of the wealthiest men OF
Daviess County, died at the city hos
pital this afternoon as an indirect re-
suit of bullet wound he received at
his home west of Owensboro, Decem-
Der II. Mr. Herr was shot in the
right leg just above the knee. Ne
was~taken to the city hospital and
the fragments of the bullet were re-
moved. The wound healed nicely,
and there was no infection, his at
tending physician stating the shock
of the wound and operation brought
about condition that resulted in Mr..
Heirs death. He had been dellrious
for ten days.
On the morning of December II
Mrs. Herr called headquarters and
told the officer in charge to send a

hour.

mo, that is not for the outside

place from his late residence Thurs
day morning. Mr.. Herr was a son of
James NJ. Herr.

Elanora Holmes, of Greensboro, 23

kneeling on the floor over her, at
tempting to get the pistol, when it
was accidentally discharged under
Mrs. Herr's back. The bullet pene-
trated Mr.. Herr's right leg above the

Mrs. Herr Immediately called po-
lice headquarters and asked that
physician be sent to her home. that
Mr. Herr had been shot accidentally.
Mrs. Herr at the time was wearing
a housedress, the back of which bears
the powder burns from the pistol.
Mrs. Herr. thinking the wound was
trivial, made no statement concern
ing the details of the affair, shrinking
from the notoriety that would be at
tached to 1t.
