REvENGEFUL GIRL
SHOOTS At JUDGE
Says Justice Was Refused Her in
Trial of Case-Plans Murder
and Suicide with COM
panion
BY Associated Press.


ST. LOUIS, Jan. 2.-Just after Judge
J. A. Mcdonald of the circuit court had
convened court this morning Miss Rosa
We'll suddenly arC-e from among the
spectators and fired point blank with a
revolver at the judge. The bullet
missed him. She was dsarmed and
arrested.
She was litigant in a case concerning
a disputed inheritance that was tried
before Judge Mcdonald two months
ago.
Rosa Well accompanied by her older
sister, Clara We'll, entered the court
room, a few minutes before court con-
vened and quietly took seats on the
second spectators bench back of the
railing.
Their appearance attracted no atten-
ton and they sat quietly watching the
proceedings Of Judge Mcdonald, who
entered from his private chamber and
took his seat on the bench.
Fires Without Warning
Motions were offered in a. pending
case and an attorney had started to ad-
dress the court when Rosa WE'LL with
out warming, stood up with leveled
revolver and fired at Judge Mcdonald. j.
F. T. Wetzel, a witness sitting nearest
her, seized the girl before she could fire
a second time, and several other per-
! sons nearby sprang to the woman and
wrenched the revolver from her hand.
She maintained remarkable composure
and said in calm tone: II ought to
have got him."
Deputy Sheriff Frank Burns took
both women into custody. Judge Nc
Donald did not rise from his seat during
the excitement. Take the two women
out of the court room,' he said to
Deputy Sheriff Burns, and when the
women had been led from the room and
order restored the judge turned to
several attorneys who were waiting
their motions and said Proceed, gen.
tlemen."
Resented Judges Decision
Rosa We'll is a daughter of Mrs.
Elize We'll and the late August l.. We'll.
She was displeased with an adverse de-
cision made by Judge Mcdonald No
Vember last in a case in which her
mother sought to deprive a grandson of
a share in August Wells estate.
This grandson was the child of Agnes
We'll, the deceased daughter of Mrs.
We'll. The grandmother undertook to
deprive the boy of his share in the in
heritance by raising question as to the
legitimacy of his mother"
At the four courts Clara We'll said:
"Rosa and 1 first planned to kill our
selves. Later we decided to kill Judge
Mcdonald and then commit suicide to-
gether.

thought we would take the law in our
