After Ben Mc Lamb had left the -home for his work, Arthur thinking the guji was unloaded, took It down, examined it. and taking aim at his brother, said: ' Carson, I m going to kill you." Carson turning to look at his brother just as the gun went off. received the entire load In his head, which entered at the corner of the left eve and completely took oft th back of the head.
