SHOOTS THE MAN WHO
MADE HER A WIDOW
Shooting Two Years Ago Has It's Sequel when the Woman
Fires Bullet into the Son-ln-law Who Had Shot Her
Husband-Estranged Wife of the Victim Refuses
to Lend Him Any Assistance

Northport, N. ", July l4-Stand-
ing within a few feet of the spot
where, a little more than two years
ago, he shot and killed his aged
fathen'-in-law, DR.. James Weddell
Simpson, dentist OF New York
was shot and perhaps mortally
wounded by his mother-in-law, Mrs
BARLEY T. Horner, the woman he
made a widow.
DR.. Simpsons wife, from whom he
had been estranged fer many
| months was near when the shot was
fired, but she did not witness the
shooting. Upon learning that 1t was
her husband who had been wounded
she refused to go near him and Dr..
Simpson had to crawl to a house 200
feet away to have his wound at
tended Mrs. Horner was later ar
rested and held in $4,000 bail.
DIR. Simpson, with the assistance
of two friends, made his way to
Roosevelt hospital in New York. The
bullet lodged in his liver and an i'm
mediate operation was performed to
take the bullet out. The doctors said
last night that DIR. Simpson has
only a small chance of recovering.
Statements from DIR. Simpson and
from Mrs. Horner as to the circum-
stances attending the shooting dis
agree. The dentist says he had re-
ceived word that his wife intended
to sue him for divorce and that he
went to the Horner home to talk
with her about IT. He says he rang
the doorbell and upon receiving no
response peered through the door
pane.
He saw Mrs. Horner, he says, and
called to her to open the door. Then
DR.. Simpson says, Mrs. Horner
grabbed revolver and shot him.
The bullet entered mis- body above
the abdomen and ne fell back
against the door sill. A second shot
was fired at him, he claims, but the
bullet went wild
Mrs. Horner does not deny that
she did the shooting. but she claims
Justification. Through her lawyer,
Rowland Miles, she said that DIR.
Simpson had several times called
at her house and that his visits were
unwelcome. When he came Monday
she says she ordered him away and
when he refused to go she took up
a revolver and shot at him.

Simpson in 1905 when the dentist

was charged with felonious assault.

1t all happened in this manner:
The collector called rather unex-

and went up stirs in search of a pair
of trousers belonging to her husband,
knowing that she would find some
money in them. She was not dis
appointed. There in one OF the
pockets reposed a nice, shining five
dollar gold piece. For want of a

placed the pants back on the hanger

collector that 1t was not her wish to

more.
The collector had no sooner turned
the next corner and gone out of sight
than she discovered the evasive coin

A RIGHT START

Cleveland has taken the initiative
in legislating against the annual
outbreak of tomfoolery on the
Fourth OF July. The Forest City
city council has passed an ordinance
making 1t misdemeanor to dis
charge fireworks in the city an
to disturb the peace and happiness
Iof the people on that occasion.
This is a step which should be
taken by every other city in the
country If the youth of the
nation were being taught
patriotism by the demonstration
which is made each year, there
might be some argument in its fav-
lor, but few OF the boys who engage
In a Fourth of July celebration
know what 1t means. They sim
ply know that they are at liberty
to shoot off fireworks in the city
without being molested by the DO
lice and there their knowledge ends.
Lives are sacrificed each Fourth OF
July, others are endangered and
property Is destroyed by the eiferye-
scent youth and the careless elders.
The thing which made the pas
sage of such an ordinance in Cleve-
land possible was the disaster which
occurred In one OF the city's stores be.

OF It's suburbs had disaster in one
OF its school buildings which re-

to be hoped that the disaster In the
Cleveland store will lead to a cru
sade against the wholesale destruc-
tion OF life and property on Inde-
pendence day.
