Demonstrator Is Killed.
Everett. George Bolger, aged 16
years, shot and killed himself In the
woods half a mile from Everett while
showing a boy playmate how to handle
a hammerless safety revolver.
To convince his comrade how harmless
the weapon was in experienced
hands, Bolger pointed the pistol at his
own head and pulled the trigger, supposing
that the mechanism would prevent
discharge.
