THE KILLING OF
DICK DOWNING
Wife Pleads Guilty TO Man
slaughter.

The story Of the killing Of Richard
Downing, the we'll known deputy
marshal who used TO come here so
often a large man, bald headed in
part) Is thus told by the Muskogee
Times:
Fanny Downing charged with the
murder OF her husband, RichardDown-
ing, waived trial upon the advice Of
her attorneys and pleaded guilty to
manslanghter II she is given the
limit Of the penalty prescribed by law
for manslaughter she win be sentenc-
ed to the penitentiary for ten years.
The crime 10 which Mrs. Downing
has pleaded guilty was committed at
the Downing home IN this city on the
evening OF May o, 1908, under circum-
stances rejecting on her fidelity and
is strongly sensational In It's character.
II is perhaps the only instance Ia the
history Of the town where woman
has played the leading part In the
tragedy Of an unhappy home.
According 10 the dying statement
OF the husband, he went home about
$50 In the evening The lights were
out and the doors were shut Upon
his approach a man ran to the back
window Downing, burning with Ieal-
Gus rage, kicked the door open and en-
tered. His wife sprang between him
and her companion, who escaped
through the front door, exclaiming as
she did so, "Don't shoot him or | will
kill your Downing drew his pistol
and fired accidentally as he started to
give chase to the fleeing man. Almost
simultaneously three shots were fired
by his wife and he fell, mortally
wounded in the back.
Downing said In his dying statement
that his wife had been acting in such
manner as TO cause him TO be suspi-
clous OF her conduct forsome time prior
TO the shooting She had told him
once that she did not love him and
never had loved him.
Downing carried 81, 900 life insurance
and directed that 1t be used In set
tling his accounts, his funeral expense:
and improving the lot in the cemetery
where his mother is buried, the bal
ance 10 be given 10 relatives. but that
none Of the money be given to his
wife.
The man responsible for the killing
proved to be a. j. Roley, an insurance
agent, who was Immediately arrested
as an accomplice and whose trial Is sci
