Had 96 Shot Wounds in His Body.
With 96 shot wounds in his body, received when a companion mistook his foot for a squirrel, William Rodenstein, 18 years old, of New Comerstown, Ohio, is expected to live. With Jacob Beiter, Rodenstein had gone hunting and stretched out at the foot of a tree. His companion wandered off and on returning saw something moving near the tree and shot.
Charges from both barrels entered Rodenstein’s side. Beiter carried the injured boy a mile to a farmhouse.
