DOUBLE KILLING
GROWING OUT OF
AN NFATUATION

MARSHFIELD, Ore, Oct. Isl.
A. Armitage, armed with a rifle and
pistol, forced his way into the home
of Mrs. ]. o. Stops, with whom
he was infatuated, and, after being
shot in the head by Mrs. Stops,
who was defending herself, caught
the woman and, placing his revolv.
err to her breast, fired, killing her
instantly. Armitage shot himself,
but died from the wound sustained
from the pistol of Mrs. Stops.
The trouble arose over Armitage
forcing his attention on Mrs.
Stops. He was arrested a short
time ago and placed under $500
bonds. He was we'll known and was
considered wealthy.

allegations of the complaint except
the statement that no part Of the

from defendant has been paid. To
such an extent does the deniel ex-
tend that the allegation in para
graph 2 of the complaint, which
sets up that the plaintiff is a regu-
larly constituted attorney at the
bar of Spokane county, is also de-
MED.
Regarding the situation at this
juncture of events, the plaintiff this
morning said: THE time has come
when am forced to take these
steps in order to collect my just
fees. l have no venom In the mat
ter, and have feeling of regret
that l am forced to take measures
which must cast reflection upon the
reputation for integrity of any other

II know absolutely nothing con-
corning the facts or allegations

charges" said Prosecuting Attor-
ney Barnhart today, when asked IL
his office was going to take a hand
in the matter. "But as soon as it
appears that anything in the case
justifies action against either Col
lin or Nethercutt l shall take such
action as the facts warrant. This
is the best l can do, and 1t is all
that l can do"
1t is possible that Mr.. Barnhart's
reference to Mr.. Nethercutt in the
above statement has reference to
rumors flying about among the le-
gal fraternity to the effect that the
plaintiff in his bill of particulars
comes close to acknowledging his
readiness to enter into a deal
whereby a supposed malefactor
might be shielded. If such con-
struction can be placed on the
words of the bill of particulars, it
is a matter for adjudication by the
courts. The bill of particulars is
