SISTER ACCIDENTALLY SHOT DEAD.

A girl of sixteen, May Adelaide Ives, of Annesley-avenue, Hendon, N.W., was accidentally shot dead by her brother, Albert Victor Ives, aged nineteen, a butcher's assistant, while he was practicing with a rifle in the garden of their house on Monday. The girl was shot in the breast, the bullet apparently going through the heart. In a statement made by the lad at the police station, where he had been detained, he said: "I was practicing rifle shooting in the garden when my sister said, 'shoot me.' I said to my mother, 'I will take the bullet out. It will go bang and frighten her.' I forgot there was a loose bullet in the barrel of the rifle which I put in half an hour before. When I saw what I had done I threw the rifle down and went to my sister's help."
