Mary, aged 9, daughter of Mack Ackerman, was shot and instantly killed Saturday by her playmate, Elsie Rymer, at Mannington, W Va. Chicken thieves made a raid on the Rymer home Thursday night. Rymer loaded his revolver and replaced it near his bed. He forgot to take out the loads, and when the little Ackerman girl visited her playmate at the Rymer home, the children began playing with the weapon, with the result that the Ackerman girl was shot through the heart.
