New Orleans, Feb. 20.. A 73-year-old man, who once made his living by marksmanship, today told how he missed, "not by much but too much", and fatally shot his son.
Time and a liking for strong drink tulled the sure eye of John Hincks, who once toured the country for Winchester and Remington, two firearms monu- facturers, to demonstrate frick shooting.
All he could muiter, with tears streaming down his face, was: "I missed. I only intend- ed to graze him."

"If he hadn't turned it would have been all right," said the old man. "Of course, I'didn't try to kill him. No father kills his son.”
