of love and affection between them but since October he has made her swear frequently that she loved him and that her greatest interest in life was to look after him.
 Yesterday morning he suggested to her that they go to the ranch and he led her into the back yard, across it and into the barn. He asked her to close the door which she did thinking nothing of it knowing it was one of his foibles He led her to the farther corner of the barn and again made her swear she loved him. Then he began to cry and she did also. He had his arm around her and began to grip her very tightly. She noticed him reach ing inside his coat but thought he was reaching for a bottle of hot water he always carried in the belief that it kept his enemies away. When he drew out the gun she was frightened but pleaded with him to think what he was doing, trying to control him in that way until she could get the gun away or escape. It did not deter him and she grappled with him for the gun but he was too strong and pressing it against her side he fired and she screamed. He turned the wea- pon and fired three more shots trying to kill himself but he had partially collapsed and was too nervous to hold it. He then called for help and walked toward the barn door next to the street where he was met by w l.. Vinson. while she secured the gun and managed to walk back to the house, falling once or twice on the way. She carried the revolver in with her and laid it on a chair or bed or something
 Previous to telliLs this story Dr. Palmer told her he did not think she could recover and called the nurse to listen She said she had nothing to regret that she loved him and her greatest anxiety was to know how he would fare if she left him. She also said that he had been carrying a razor for sometime and that while she knew he was not right mentally she had tried to keep the fact as secret as pos sible taking the chances of her own life
 Dr. Palmer arrived at the house as quickly as possible after the summons and thought at first her life could be saved by an immediate operation, summoned the ambulance ordered the operating room at the hospital made ready and with a nurse in attendance, and summoned Dr Plath and Dr Martin. a friend of the family to re- port there at once. By the time she reached the hospital her condition did not warrant an operation. There was a mere chance of recovery without it, none with it, so none has taken place
