The Girl May Recover but Lsdue's
Chances Are Considered Slim.
ALAMEDA, CAL, Aug. st is said
by the attending phys ician that Clara
FalImer, who shot Charles Ladue last
night with ..murderous intent and then
turned her pistol on herself may recover.
In that case she stands good chance of
having a charge of murder to answer.
D.. Lubbock the physician in attendance
on the wounded man, has not yet been
able to locate the bullet, but is satist fed
that it penetrated the spinal column and
injured the spinal cord. The body of the
young man is paralyzed from the breast
down, and there is no other way to &C.
count for the symptoms. He considers
that Ladue's chance for recovery is not
good.
Ladue is partly conscious, but NO one is
allowed to see him or talk with him.

case, and it is just as already related. 1t
