Shoots at Her Father in New Amsterdam Tragedy
In New Amsterdam, 24 year old Hallie Matthews reportedly fired a single barrel shotgun at her father Halleck Matthews in his room. He deflected the shot, the pellet passing through a bed head and into a wall. Observers say she, distressed by rumors of his remarriage to a woman of ill repute, appeared in frenzy and may have intended to shoot herself if the first shot had not missed.
