The woman had peen brought here
for safekeeping, although there vas
absolutely no necessity of the actisa
according to many here and in Bsn-
ton. She is alleged to have given hsr
husband morphine but as a complste
analysis of the stomach of the dead
man failed to reveal any trace of poi
son it is not thought that anything
can be proved against her.
Mrs. Cox had been instructed by her
attorneys not to talk, about the mat

and instructions and would say moth
ing. She stated, however, on leaving
this morning that she guessed she
would have something to say today
She was feeling much better today
and was confident of being dismissed
The examination will be conducted

SHOOTING WAS AN ACCIDENT

George Wright was shot and seri-
ously wounded this morning about
O'Clock by Allen Lewis, the shooting
being purely accidental however. and
Wright will in all probability recover.
The two men live on q shanty boat
together above the Paducah Cooperage
company plant in Meohanicsburg and
had retired early last night.
Wright got mp early this morning
and started mp the river bank. As he
stepped of the boat the rocking walked
Lewis who was asleep when Wright
made his departure, and when he saw
the latter walking mp the river bank
did not recognize him in the darkness
and mistook him for thief. Procur-
ing a shotgun he stepped to the side Of
the boat and fired one shot, striking
Wright In the left side.
The left arm, side and legs were
punctured by the small shot and made
painful wounds. Only one shot was
fired, the marksman discovering his
mistake when Wright cried out to
him.
DIR. j. s. Troutman was summoned
and dressed the wounds ana thinks the
injury is not of very serious nature.
The shooting caused much excitement
in that vicinity and many got out of
their beds to investigate. No arrests
were made.
