A woman shot:  Between five and six o'clock on Sunday last, the startling rumor spread through the village that a woman serving as a domestic in the family of Edward Clark, Esq., had been accidently killed by a young German also in his employ.  The name of the woman was Alice Carrew; that of the boy, who is 18 years old, Edward Hanitzsch. Coroner Blodgett immediately summoned a jury, when the following facts were made known.  A shot gun had been kept loaded in the barn, and occasionally used by the gardener to shoot skunks.  Eight days previous this boy had fired off the gun and put it back without reloading.  Finding it in this condition, the gardener loaded it again.  The boy says he did not think the gun was loaded, and he pointed it at the girl he killed and another female domestic with her at the time, for the purpose of frightening them, and the reason he fired at Alice was because she was frightened.  The muzzle of the gun was very near her body when it went off, and the charge of shot bruised her arm and entered her side, killed her almost instantly. The jury found a verdict to the effect that "the discharge of the gun by Hanitzsch was accidental and not done with the intention of causing the girl's death but was an act of gross carelessness on his part.  Cooperstown Journal
