MISTAKEN FOR BLACKBIRD
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) ROME, December 9. A hunter who whistled like a blackbird to lure birds near his gun is lying seriously hurt in hospital today—shot by another hunter who thought he was a blackbird. The injured man, Nello Micarelli, aged 38, and his companion, Ludovico Piergrossi, 42, received the contents of a doublebarrelled shotgun in the face and chest when another hunter fired at the thicket where they were whistling. Doctors said Piergrossi could leave hospital in a few days but Micarelli’s condition was serious.
