Mystery Wells Shooting OF Girl Late
Saturday; Investigation Continues
For Weapon And AssaiIant In Case
Deputy Sheriff
Says No Reports
OF Gun Heard

A shroud of mystery has veiled
an unusual accident which occurred
late Saturday at home on Route
40 about mile east of the inter-
section with route 38, according to
the Madison County Sheriff's De-
partment.
As a result of what has been
termed a bullet wound, a fifteen
year-old girl is in University Hos
pital in a serious condition. She
was identified as Barbara Jean
Rogers, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Herman Rogers, Route 2, London.
Authorities said a bullet of small
calibre apparently penetrated her
head at the base of the skull and
went out through her cheek.
According to Deputy Sheriff
Robert Henry, he was called into
the case late Saturday after the
parents had brought the girl to the
office of DR.. w. T. Bacon in Lon
don. At first it was thought that
a sharp object had pierced the
girls head, but investigation re-
vealed it had been a bullet.
Henry said the girls mother told
him she was in a downstairs room
when she heard the girl scream.
Henry added that the girl was
found in a pool of blood in an up
stairs room where she had appar-
emily been dragged from another
room. The father was blowing in
a field near the house at the time
of the shooting.
Deputy Henry said he went to
the home and made a careful
search Of the house after it was de-
termined the wound was from
bullet, but he failed to find any
evidence Of a bullet puncture in
any of the walls, or any place
where it could have entered from
outside The bullet which appar-
emily came through the girls cheek
was not found, nor was there any
indication it had struck any part
of the room, according to Henry.
An improvised % calibre rifle
found in the house has been turned
over to the Bureau of Criminal In
vestigation for study to determine
if it might have been the weapon
which injured the girl. Her father
said the rifle had not been fired
since last year.
A younger brother, who said he
was also downstairs at the time

Heads Society For
Crippled Children

Thurman Snyder was named
president of the Madison County
Society for Crippled Children at a
meeting held Friday night at Coov-
er Club House. He succeeds Robert
L. CLANCY in the top position.
Floyd Williams was named vice
president; Sue Nichols, secretary,
and Jim Patterson, treasurer.
George Rutlege was transferred as
a board member from Pleasant
Township to London.
In other action at the Friday eve
ming session Mrs. Elizabeth Mob
lett, Columbus, reported on the
speech therapy classes she has been
conducting for the past eighteen
months. She said a total of twenty
seven children have been in the
classes with no more than sixteen
at any given time. Fifteen are now
enrolled in the special therapy
classes.
Mrs. Robert Trehearne, who has
conducted the hearing tests in the
county, reported that she has test
ed SOB children in the county this
year. Eight of the county's schools
still remain on the list for hearing
tests, according to Mrs. Ire,
hearne's report. She has tested
grades 3, 6 ana 8 in this years pro,
gram.
Floyd William, the newly elect
ed vice president, reminded the
group of the Importance of tht
speech therapy program, and th'
hearing tests in connection witt
the regular school programs. Hi
suggestion was to incorporate the
work with the present school pro
gram, since the two special pro
grams have been proved beneficial
in the special spare time work.
The annual meeting, at which
the officers were elected, and the
years business planned, was in the
form of a dessert at the clubhouse
