The Mysterious Shooting Case in Kerry.

The Tralee magistrates have fully committed
for trial John Griffin, who is charged with the
murder of his wife. The evidence of a head-
constable named Walker was to the effect that he
went to the house in which the affair took place
on the morning of its occurrence, and in the
kitchen he saw John Griffin, his two daughters,
and the deceased, Bridget Griffin ; the deceased
was lying on her right side in her full length
on the kitchen floor, a pool of blood under her
head and a small quantity under her feet. Her right
hand was open and her left hand shut; John Griffin
was sitting on a side-table in the kitchen, and his
two daughters were standing at the foot of the centre
table ; asked him how the occurrence happened. He
replied the woman shot herself. Thinks he had some
share of drink taken at the time. Found this (pistol
produced) on the centre table. It was without a
ramrod and had an exploded cap on the nipple.
Asked John Griffin where his wife was when she shot
herself. He said she was sitting down at the opposite
side of the table, and he was sitting directly opposite
her. The table was about two feet wide. He said
the pistol was lying on the table, that she took it up
in her hand, and commenced playing or fiddling
with it ; he told her to put it down, and not to be
playing or fiddling with it, and that she did put it
down ; that she asked him then how it went off. It
was then at half-cock. That he then took it up in
his hand and put it to full cock, and put it on the
table ; she took it up in her hand again, and that sud-
denly it went off and she fell down. Witness re-
marked that if she fell down she must have fallen on
her left side, and not her right, as she then was.
Dr. Lawler and Mr. Maguire came in afterwards.
He made a statement to Mr. Maguire, in which he
described his showing her how to use the pistol,
and said that then she walked with it in her hand
about the kitchen, and firing the pistol fell. In this
respect the second statement. differed from Griffin's
first. It appeared that the prisoner was a pen-
sioner in the 7th Hussars, and bore an excellent
character.—lrish Times.
