The democrat. [volume] (Weston, W. Va.) 1868-1874, 1869-03-29

near Grautsvillc, in Calhoun county, on
Friday, the 18th inst, which resulted in
the death of u highly respectable lady, a,
the hands Of her husband. The name Of
the unfortunate woman was. Mrs, Connol.
,ly. Her hus' aud, Martin Connolly,
stated on his examination before the Cor.
oner. that on the morning Of the accident
he was going squirrel hunting, and had
taken dow. III, rifle to clean it. The gun
was loaded and capped. and while l,in.
across his knees, he accidentally struck
the lock, and it went otf.-thc ball pass.
ing through the heart Of his wife, killing
her Instantly. AT the time of the occur.
renee, Connolly and his wife aud small
child were tic ouIy persons present.
The coroner's jury found Il verdict Of
accidental killings" and as consc.
1uencc, no further legal steps have yc.
been taken. N
Mrs. Connolly is sp"ken Of by her
ncighbors us being good woman in
every respect. Her husband, We would
paren'hetically remark, is trooly loil---
which fact, VIC presume, is Of itself suf.
licicnt evidence that the ,bootin. was ac-
ciden,.l.
We are informed that Conn ". few
years ago. quarrelcd with his wife, and
finally left her, and that since his return
their Inarrels have been frequent. The
people generally, however, believe thai,
the v,rlict was correct one.
