Pontiac Youth Killed Instantly When He and Pal Play with Gun

Not Known Who Fired The Fatal Shot

PONTIAC. — (PNS) — James Street, 14, was accidentally shot and killed at about 2 p. m. Saturday, when he and Orris Gene Evans, 13, were playing with a .22 calibre air rifle and .32 calibre pistol, in the apartment of Mr. and Mrs. William Babbington, 215 1/2 West Madison street, in the downtown business district. Mr. and Mrs. Babbington are the stepparents of the Evans lad.

It is reported that the two boys were inspecting the rifle and pistol, when the latter discharged, shooting the Street lad in the neck.

Falls Down Stairs.

He then staggered out of the apartment, collapsed at the top of the stairs and fell one flight to the sidewalk level on Madison street. He was found lying in the doorway by Howard Davies, 127 Park street, who turned him over and discovered that in spite of considerable loss of blood, he was still alive.

The lad gasped a few times and died.

Chief of Police James Loghry arrived soon after the death, followed a few minutes later by an ambulance from the Erwin funeral home. At that time a physician pronounced Street dead.

Inquest Monday.

The body was taken to the funeral home. An inquest has been tentatively scheduled for Monday night at the funeral home. Coroner P. L. McGuire has been notified, but had not impanelled a jury Saturday night.

The lad had preceded his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Street, down town. It had been arranged tha[t[ they would meet him in the business district to do some shopping. Mrs. Street arrived at the scene of the shooting, where a large crowd had gathered, before learning that it was her son who was the center of attraction. She became hysterical and was taken home by friends.

Evans Not Held.

At the time of the accident there was no one in the Babbington apartment, except the two boys. Young Evans was not held by the police.

According to tentative plans the funeral services will be held Tuesday, with burial in Livingston county memorial park.
