From The Grantham Journal of 24 May 1902 (and many other newspapers): "An inquest was held on Tuesday, at Coppenhall, on the body of Albert Crimes, aged twenty. Deceased was a pigeon-fancier, and had recently lost valuable birds by the depradations of cats. At midnight he went out with a double-barrelled gun to watch for them, and it is supposed in going through a gate the trigger caught the latch, discharging the gun. The charge entered Crimes' brain, and killed him instantaneously. A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned." |
