the courtroom of Justice Bohan yesterday.
Isaiah S. Pruitt and wife. together with her
attorney, j. c. Blackledge, were there alone

without any warning Pruitt drew a revolver
and emptied it at the woman and Mr.. Black

the shoulder and one in the middle Of her
breast, inficting wound which may prove
fatal The third bullet struck Blackledge in
the left side, but glanced off rib and lodged
under his arm.
The lawyer at once rushed to window
and jumped to the ground, some twenty two
feet, while the old justice grabbed a chair
and promptly knocked the would-be muir
