 The sick man called to his wife, com plaining that the ringing of the door bell annoyed him. She entered his room and had barely stepped into the doorway when Mr. Landis raised him. self in bed and, reaching under the pillow, drew forth q revolver. He nred upon his wife, the bullet taking effect in her breast. She screamed and ned to the adjoining room, her husband following. Mrs. Potts and Mrs. Patton attempted to disarm the frenxied man, but he brushed tbem aside. Grasping Mrs. Landis by the hair, he pulled her forcibly backward and shot her through the temple. The woman died instantly.
