fling with her divorced husband, Will

revolver Mrs. Emma Metcalfe shot and
seriously wounded him in the left
breast. The shooting took place at the
Metcalfe road house, corner of Thirty
seventh street and Averue f, to which
place Desmond had gone with the
avowed intention,according to Mrs. Met
Cafes story, of killing her.
After the shooting Desmond is said
to have attempted to continue the fight
with Mrs. Metcalfe for short time and
then sat down, saying: I'm done for
He was then placed in hack and Mrs.
Metcalfe ordered him taken UP town
he insisted on being driven to Omaha
and was placed in the Clarkson hos
pital. Desmond was able to walk from
the hack into the hospital.
Inquiry at the Clarkson hospital, Om-
aha, concerning the condition Of Des-
nlond met with an abrupt refusal on the
part of the hospital superintendent to
tell anything at all concerning Desmond
further than to admit that he was pa
tient there. The reason for the secrecy
Is not known. 1t is not believed, how
ever, that Desmond is in dangerous
condition, for he did not seem to be in
any particular pain on the trip to Om-
aha, and did not suffer the loss of any
great amount of blood. The bullet was
from a 32-caliber revolver. It's pene-
tration of the left breast just below the
collar is not believed to be especially
serious.
Mrs. Metcalfe calmly related the de-
tails of the affair shortly after the
shooting, and expressed no regret for
wounding her former husband, from
whom she was divorced last summer
on the ground of cruel and inhuman
treatment. Desmond has since been re-
siding in Omaha, where he has been
night clerk at the Barker Hotel for sew
eral years. Mrs. Metcaife at once re-
ported the shooting to the police sta
ton and offered to give herself up for
arrest.
Mrs. Metcalfe's story Of the shooting
is as follows:
Desmond came over here about 1850
dead drunk and said he had come to
finish me- He followed me into my
room, grabbed me and threw me on the
floor. Then he said I might just as
well kill you while / am at it / final-
