Indianapolis Woman Took Life Of Her 5-Year-old Son.

"I am going to shoot you, Freddie,” said Mrs. George W. Stone, 26 years of age, to her 5-y ear-old son, as they lay together on a bed in their home in Indianapolis last Sunday. “No, mama, let me shoot you,” playfully answered the child as he reached for the revolver in the hands of the mother. But she did the shooting, and a ball from the pistol passed through the little child’s body, penetrating the lung. The little fellow died at a hospital Tuesday. The mother is locked up in the Indianapolis jail, charged with the murder. She is possibly insane.
