cipals in yesterdays shooting affair are
still alive tonight and Mrs. Kelly con-
tinues to improve. Her doctor says the
shot in the abdomen was glancing and
the wound superficial. 1t is now believ-
ed there is no doubt Of her ultimate re.
covery. During the day Kelly seemed
bright and almost if not fully conscious.
He has much vitality. and does not suf-
fer. Tonight, however he is by no
means in so good a condition and the
hospital attendants gave out that they
saw no chance for him to live.
Police officers have been denying that
they shot the man at all. Kelly claims
that an officer shot him in the head,
but his statements since the shooting
have been contradictory There Is no
doubt that he had fully determined to
murder Mrs. Kelly and then commit sui
eide. 1t is marvellous that she escaped
with her life, when she was shot at so
often and at such close range. 1t was
mere fortunate chance that her throat
was not cut with the razor.
