in which the woman was shot in the leg
Just below the knee, with a p callibre
revolver, and lie stabbed in the breast
with pocket knife, the full length OF the
blade passing between two ribs just above
heart. Had the knife blade gone straight
into the body instead Of downward it
would have touched the heart and caused
instant death. Blood spurted in large
quantities from the wound and when the
news reached Marshal Adams he went
across and found williams lying near the
railroad, faint from the loss of blood.
They were taken to all and their wounds

said the stab the man received came near
being fatal The bullet in the woman's
leg cannot be taken out. Williams said
that he shot his wife before she stabbed
him but the shooting was accidental. She
said that she stabbed him after he shoi
