PRAM CONTAINING BABY STRUCK BY BULLET SYDNEY GUNMAN'S CRIME
— By Telegraph— Copynglit).
SYDNEY, Monday. Another shooting affray occurred, when a man opened fire on another at Erskinville. A story of jealousy lies behind the desperate affair. One bullet struck a perambulator in which was a six-months-old child. The infant's escape was miraculous. The bullet hit a small steel buckle on a strap "above the baby's clothes and was deflected. Had it missed the buckle the child must have been killed. Dozens of children were playing in the street, and bullets whistled around them. * Ernest Palmers, aged 23, was walking down the street when a young man sprang at him with a revolver, took aim, and fired, the bullet going wide. When the gunman had emptied his revolver he disappeared.
