husband's promo* of my grievances, and bow unhappy
I wee. I should not have Bookie about It had I not
had the beer. The two west out together. I watt to
Mrs. Solity's opposite, and my husband found me there.
He was annoyed; we west book togithor to our own
house. I then told him I would rather I were dad

proper name, and it irritated me. I said if he didn't
kill ins, I should either kill myself or him, and I
wished he'd show ma how to Ire the revolver. It is
a six oilambered pistol, wbioh he always keeps loaded
in the box in his own private room. He brought it
oat to show me how. I tried to disatiarg• it at the wall.

In taking it from me, ecunehow' I don't know how, it
wt off through his heed. Us took it In • sharp
manner; I didn't resist. 'He did not point the pistol
at me, nor lat hint. Olne at the barrels bad maned

into the wall the second time. At the time it snapped
IS was not tweeted at as, it was pasted at the wall;
of that lam gets oertain. It was In taking the pistol
I from me that it went off. I was at the tune looking
Into the monis. I think he was timid, Waking it
would go off in my hand. I cannot tell wbothor any
more beer wee had after the sosklent for I woe very
'molted. I *snot remember what I elated yesterday.
I remember Mr. Willi= and Kr. Ferrer coming in,
and taking me whether I was gaits sober, sad I said no.
My Little girl Alice is thirteen; she was In the room at
the time. Before the second discharge my husband
told her to get out of the way, and sent her out through
ths kitchen door.—Priermer being asked if he bed any
questions to put, be said he had nottdrg to say, as what
had bees stated by his wife was true, his memory be-
