Howard Shockey
WHISKY CAUSES DEATH OF BOY
Little Fellow Drinks Four Ounces of Liquor at Home of His Grandfather
Waynesboro, Pa., July 8. — Howard Shockey, 6 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Shockey, died at the home of his grandfather, Samuel Myers, on Saturday night from the effects of drinking four ounces of whisky he found on a shelf in an upstairs room. The lad drank the whisky Friday morning and became unconscious shortly after. He remained in that condition all day except for a period of five minutes when he rallied, sinking into a state of coma in which he died.
