Shoots Self in Leg

Ernest White, young automobile mechanic of this city, shot himself in the right leg Wednesday night in his room at 11:30. His explanation is that he undertook to remove an automatic pistol from under his pillow for the purpose of stowing it away when it dropped to the floor and accidentally exploded.
