In my report of the accidental
killing of young Willie Whitehead
as given in my communication
last week, it may be that a wrong
impression may have been made
as to how the accident occurred.
I said that Walter Hughes went
out of the house with the pistol
in his hand immediately after the
shooting, This was true, but
after having a talk with Dr. My
era, I am satisfied that youug
Whitehead shot himself. How it
happened that Hughes took the
pistol out with him does not seem
to be fully explained, but owing
to the intense excitement he must
have picked up the pistol where
it fell from the hand of White
head after the shot was fired. I
make this statement in order to
correct any probable missunder
staudiug of the facts iu the case,
and to show that the shooting,
was purely an accident, and that
Whitehead held the pistol when
the pistol shot was tired.
