Accident or Murder?

St. Louis. June 26.—Annie Smith, aged 21, was shot and killed instantly this forenoon by Mrs. Louisa Barnes, her mother-in-law, aged 50. There were no witnesses to the shooting, which Mrs. Barnes said was accidental, but which the police think was intentional. The shooting took place in a room in which Charles Draher, who is now in jail awaiting trial for the crime, killed Bertha Huanke about a year ago. Mrs. Barnes is under arrest, awaiting the investigation of the coroner’s jury.
