DREADFUL OCCURRENCE.
A LITTLE GIRL SHOT BY HER NURSE.
News arrived in town about midnight on Tuesday to the effect that a child had been fatally shot at Gundaroo by girl in whose charge she had been left. The district coroner accordingly proceeded to the place early on the following morning to hold an inquest and it is from the depositions courteously placed at our disposal that we gather the partioulars of the shockingtragedy.
The deceased child, Susan Ellen Edwards was nearly six years old and had on the afternoon of Tuesday been left with other children of the family in charge of Charlotte Case, a young woman eighteen years old, while Mrs Edwards, the mother of the children went some 300 yards distance to look after the cleaning of some wheat. Between three and four o'clock in the afternoon Mrs Edwards heard the report of a gun at the house ad proceeding home with her son Robert who was with her at the time she found
Charlotte Case with the deceased in her arms, her face covered with blood, which was flowing from a wound in her cheek. She was alive, but died in a minute or two. Her face was all blackened as if caused by the explosion of power. The evidence of Mary Ann Edwards, 11 years old, who was in the house at the time of the fatal oocurrence, disclosed that at about four o'clock in the afternoon Charlotte Case told deceased to bring in some wood for the fire, which she did. Case then went into a back room and brought out the gun, and standing about a step from that room pointed the gun at the deceased; who was at the fireplace-a distance of about five yards from where she (Case) stood, and said "I'll
shoot you." Deceased. attempted to conceal herself under the table. Case stooped, and levelled the gun at deceased and fired, The poor little child fell back bleeding from a wound on the cheek, and exclaimed,
"Oh Charlotte, you have shot me !". She spoke no more till her death which occurred in two or three minutes afterwards, but as soon as 'the child' fell to' the floor, seeing what she had done she lifted her from the floor; "and said "she is dead." This witness said in reply to a question from the coroner, "I do not think Charlotte Case ever threatened to injure deceased. I do not know whether she knew the gun was loaded. I thought Charlotte Case was only joking when she I said she would shoot my sister, and did
nothing to prevent her" Mrs Edwards in her testimony stated "When I arrived home I said to Charloite Case 'why did you do it?' and she said 'I did not mean to do it." She was always friendly' with the' children." Robert Edwards, brother of the deceased thus accounted for the gun he had loaded it with powder and shot for the purpose of shooting parrots, and left it on his bed, capped and the hammer down. He said: "I left it on the bed, I told every one in the house" that the gun was loaded, I am sure Charlotte Case heard me, I told Charlotte Case in particular that the gun was loaded and she said all right, I did not tell my sister particularly that the gun was loaded, but she was there when I said
it was loaded". The gun was not produced at the inquest, the father of, the deceased having broken it up after the dreadful use to which it had been put.
The exact nature of the injuries in flicted were the complete smashing of the cheek bone and destruction of the eye; a large quantity of flattened shot 'was embedded in the cheek. Death resulted from hemorrhage - and the stock to the system.
The jury found that, Susan Ellen Edwards died upon Tuesday the 15th, instant, from injuries caused by a gunshot wound from a gun fired by Charlotte Case not knowing that it was loaded, but that there was gross carelessness on the part both of Robert Edwards, junior, and she the former by leaving a loaded gun where any one could use, it, and the latter in firing, the gun, not knowing whether it was
loaded or not.
Our Gundaroo correspondent, in his report of the affair, says -The jury through their foreman, Mr:W. Allieck; said, there was a doubt on their minds as to Case knowing the gun was loaded, but while giving her the benefit of that doubt, they wished to censure in the strongest terms both young Edwards and Case for the part they had taken in depriving the poor child of her life. The coroner, after admonish
ing them both, discharged Case from custody, but it is believed that other steps will be taken to punish her.
We cannot conclude this report without expressing our surprise at such verdict as that recorded above. If
the evidence of Robert Edwards is to be believed, Case did know that the gun was loaded beyond all doubt despite the evidence of his sister May Ann, which simply amounted to an opinion.
