In a "Playful" Way Benjamin Pendleton Leveled Revolver at Miss Luella Black
Madison, Ind., Oct 5.--Robert and Benjamin Pendleton, of Kentucky, called on the Misses Clara Douglass and Luella Black in West Madison. Benjamin Pendleton carried a revolver, which he thought was unloaded, and in a playful mood he pointed it at Miss Black. The weapon was discharged, the bullet entering her neck, missing the windpipe and lodging against her spinal cord, causing partial paralysis of her legs and arms. Benjamin fled to Kentucky, but his brother remained and said that the fugitive would return. The girl's father exonerates him from intentional shooting. The young woman's condition is critical.
