Accidental
Death Ruled
In Polk Case
Rtatessaan Nw Service
DALLAS Investigation of the
death of Lyman Lewis Newton,
'10, son of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney A.
Newton, Monmouth route 2, has
been completed with a coroner's
ruling of "accidental death".
The sheriff's office and the dis
trict attorney also participated in
the investigation.
Young Newton died from a bul
let from a .22 rifle at the Richard
Orsbom home in the Cooper Hol
low district on July 9.
.'- .
said the rife was owned by Jack
Armstrong, a resident at the Ors
born home. He said Armstrong
'used the rifle the day before the
tragedy to shoot grey diggers
and said he was "very careful" to
unload it, because there was a
tendency for a cartridge to stick
in the barrel.
The deputy said young Fred
Orsbom had picked up Jhe rifle
- and pointed it at a window; then
the Newton boy came into the
room, reached toward the win
dowsill and stepped into the line
of fire just as the rifle went off.
The bullet struck the Newton boy
in the head.
The deputy said the Orsbom
boy had net been shewing the
ether lad how to load the rifle,
nor had he been pumping bullets
in and out of it as reported in
first news aecounts of the fatal
shooting.
