Cannon and Chairman Payne of the

WOMAN FIRES
 IN DEFENSE Held Babe in Arms
 Throughout. STEPFATHER THE TARGET Mrs. Jeffrey Parker in Birmingham
 Was Attacked. Quarrel Arose At Breaktast When step-Father Maiigned Character Of The Woman And Attacked
STEPFATHER THE TARGET

Birmingham. Sept. 12-tSpeciaD- Mrs. Jeffrey Parker, 25 years old. shot and dangerously wounded her step father, William McCombs. during breakfast at their home in East Birm- ingham.
 Mrs. Parker held fourteen months old child in one arm and with the other fired on her step-father four times each shot taking effect. At the hos pitai. to which McCombs was rushed after the shooting. an examination was made by physicians and they announc- ed that the patient would recover, though hts escape from death was mar row. The woman was placed under ar rest on a charge of assault with intent to murder.
 She claims that she fired on her step father in self-defense. She further claims that she did not shoot until he threw tea-cup. which struck her on the head. inflicting a painful bruise.
 The woman evfnced no regret for the act as she told her story at the police station today. She said that her step father had made statements about her, and that she had designated the state ments as untruths. He taxed her, she stated with an untruth and a quarrel ensued Tn Which the cup was thrown and she used her revolver
 According to the young woman's story she went to the tbeater last night with a gentleman friend. returning home before midnight. She found her mother waiting for her. The mother informed the daughter that the step father had returned home and had stated that he had seen her In com pary with some men going to a hotel. he intimatInE that it was possible she would not be home that night.
 The daughter declared that the state
 nent was false. and had been either communicated to him or heard by him.
 During breakfast this morning the matter was again taken up and in anger the cup was thrown and ths shots fired. The statement of Nc. Combs is that the young woman had objected to his statement that he had seen her out with, men and that shs had used severe language towards him his sister and bis mother which he resented. Tn anger he threw the cur and the shooting followed.
 The shots attracted much excitement in the vicinity of the McComns home. Mrs Parker has been separated from her husband for some little time, he being in northwest Alabama. 4 trial will be held when McCombs is able to be out.
