Interesting interrelation between the major importers/distributors, at least in New York.
In the July 3, 1900 New York Times it was reported that the previous day Henry T. was examining a pile of second hand revolvers, picked up a .38 and pulled the trigger shooting and killing a 22 year employee/salesman of Folsom Co. named Peter Koller. Henry was arrested but the shooting was determined to have been an accident.
His lawyer was Justus Von Lengerke.
