CHARGE OF SHOOTING SON
BOY TAKES THE BLAME (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) SANTA BARBARA, 25th March. Jesse Livermore’s mother was exonerated to-day on a charge of shooting him. The boy, who recovered after hovering several months between life and death, assumed the blame for the shooting. ,
A cable dated 26th November stated that Jesse Livermore, jun., 15 years of age, son of a famous Wall Street financier and stock manipulator, was near death in hospital from a bullet wound which the police declared was inflicted by his mother, Mrs Dorothea Livermore, the financier’s second wife, from whom he was divorced several years ago. The shooting occurred at Mrs Livermore’s home, where, according to guests, both mother and son were “very intoxicated,” and were engaging in a drunken argument over the youth’s drinking habits. According to hospital officials,, the youth, before he lost consciousness, ‘exonerated his mother and said: “It was an accident; that is all I wish to say about it.”
