MAN SHOOTS HIMSELF. Herbert Nelson Kills Himself hot i dentally at Shilob Saturday After? noon* Prom The I tally Item, Jan. S3. Coroner Floweri received notice Saturday afternoon about 5 p. m. that a man named Herbert Nelson had accidentally shot and killed him? self at Shiloh about 1:30 p. m. of that day but that the death was clear? ly accidental and it was needles* for him to come down and hold an Inquest over the body. Later on Mr. Flowers received an? other message from the doctor whc had been called in, who stated that the people there were anxious to have an inquest and for him to come down RS soon as possible. Mr. Flowers left for the scene of the killing on Bun day morning on the 7:30 train and arrived at Lynchburg about 8 o'clock. Ihre he took an automobile for Shi? loh where upon arriving he found that Magistrate It. A. Dennis had al? ready held the inquest on Saturday night. The evidence as stated at the inquest and the verdict as found by the jury was that the man had come to his death accidentally at his own hand. The principal evidence was given by Thomas Frlerson who was in the room laying bricks on the hearth at the time that the .accident took place. He said that Nelson had picked up the pistol and was turning it round Dicing at it when he had told him that it was loaded and to turn it the other way. He then turned back to his work when the pistol went off and Nelson dropped dead. The doctor stated that the bullet had entered the center of the right eye and that it had gone straight back into the h.ain. He also stated that death was instantaneous. He stated further that the man was found lying on his hack on the door with his right hand holding the pistol doubled under his side while his left hand held the mag? azine of the pistol. As the pistol was an automatic one It was possible that it had llred after the magazine had been removed. Other witnesses who were in the next room at the time that the wea? pon was fired stated that they got into the room as Frierson got up from the hearth and started toward the dead man. It was learned further this morning that Nelson had insured his life for >!,'? 11: i only aooul one week . i ? . .* I ith? h'iuraucc people were skeptical jtf the death bei g entlrelj one to <* .?ideao They thought that it might h . been ? ? ? ?->? . .ic u.:.vi ** io thought that there will be some crou Ibe in the family of the d"ad man get? ting the insurance.
