Shot by the “Monster” of His Own Creation
The Two-Ton Robot Suddenly Developed a “Mind” of Its Own and Wounded the Inventor Who Feared it Would “Get Him” Some Day.
Almost as he spoke the monster took a step forward, raised the revolver – and fired. The inventor put up his hand to shield his face and thereby probably saved his life.
