Then the father turned on the 6on. and the mother pushed the latter into a bedroom, and as the father was trying to get in the door the mother got round to the window to help the son out. The father ru6hed round, and tried to get hold of the son through the window, and it is alleged that the son, using a revolver, fired two shots, one going through the father's cheek and lodging in the tongue, and the other being embedded /in the breast. Walshe, senior, was removed to the hospital, where it is considered that his injuries are not very serious.
