German marksman blamed as American tragedy mirrors past fatal shot
A Berlin court convicted a German expert marksman of pandering to public excitement after an accidental shot killed Annie Von Behren, a tale paralleled by Frank I Frayne in the United States. Frayne, famed for apple-shot acts with his wife and later Miss Von Behren, caused a fatal injury during a Cincinnati Coliseum performance on Thanksgiving Day in 1882. The incident sparked rumors, a rapid crowd outside the theatre, and Frayne's subsequent brief retirement before returning to the stage for years.
