Mrs. T.B. Harton in St. Peters Hospital With Gunshot Wound, Dec. 25, 1921

Seriously Wounded by Husband’s Pistol

Mrs. T.B. Harton was brought to St. Peters Hospital Saturday night seriously wounded as the result of the accidental discharge of a pistol early Saturday evening at her home on the Statesville road. Just how the accident occurred could not be ascertained. A physician at the hospital, who answered the telephone injuries after Mr. Harton had sent a request that no mention be made of it, said that Mrs. Harton was seriously injured.

It was understood from other sources that a shooting had taken place and that Mr. Harton had brought his wife to the hospital for emergency attention.
