Injured Man in Critical Condition in St Louis Hospital
Orville Burdette of Herrin was found shot in the head and left in his car at the Freeman Spur road entrance to Bobby Dick Mine pond. He was transferred from Herrin Hospital to Barnes Hospital in St Louis around 5 30 p.m. Monday. Deputy Sheriff Earl Long said the bullet would be removed and matched with a small caliber pistol found in the car to determine if the gun fired the shot.
