MURRAY GETS OFF
IN ASSAULT CASE

~rhe case against Henry Murray for as
sault on his wife. Emma, was held in the
district court this morning; but as the
preponderanco of evidence showed that
the occurrence was accidental, Judge Lee
ordered the prisoner discharged.
According 10 the defense, on Dec 10
Murray, who lives in the rear OF 9J2
Branch avenue, came home TO supper
and took down a shot gun hanging on the
wall His wife told him to pat away the
gun and at the same time took hold Of
IT. The weapon slipped TO the floor and
was discharged.
The charge passed through Mrs Muir
rays hand between the index finger and
the thumb causing a wound painful. but
not serious. The charge also grazed his
cheek and face and lodged in the ceiling
Ii was the contention OF the police that
Murray had tried to commit suicide and
that the injuries received by his wife
resulted from her attempt to prevent him.
Detective Godfrey told the court that
Murray had admitted TO him that he had
attempted suicide; but Murray asserted
that when he said this he was dazed, and
as soon as he realized the full purport If
the question. he denied IL.
AS ii is not a statutory offence I'm this
state to attempt suicide although II Is
against the common law, and for lack of
evidence that Murray attempted to COM
NIT suicide, Judge Lee ruled that the
prisoner should be discharged.
Murray's wife was i'm court and refused
to testify against her husband.
Assistant City Solicitor Chace ably con-
Quoted the prosecution and supported his
arguments with authority on common
law: but since the statutes of this state
do not cover this case. he well knew be-
fore the close Of the trial that he was
fighting a hopeless case. Charles r. Eas-
ton appeared for Murray.
