A Most Brutal Murder

Mrs. G. C. Petty was brutally muir
dered Mt Sparks by her husband Tues.
day night. The couple had been mar
ried about nine years and about eight
months ago Mrs. Petty secured Il
divorce in Reno on the ground of ex-
IRENE cruelty. She worked a while
afterward ut Sparks and earned money
to take herself and two children back to
her fathers ut Key West, Florida.
Petty followed her and at Ogden COM
PEELED her to remarry him under threats
that he would kill her and the children.
They returned to Sparks after the
Ogden marriage and Petty went to
work in the shops. Tuesday night Petty
quarrelled with his wife and brutally
beat her. She ran from the house and
he followed her. He caught her near
the Methodist church and on her refusal
to go back to the house with him, he
choked her and then shot her. AS Mrs.
Petty slipped to the sidewalk, he shot
again and did not stop until he had fir
ed three more bullets in her body.
Petty then ran away. Two men who
had witnessed the shooting from a dis
lance hurried to where the woman lay
and taking her in their arms carried
her to the Methodist church. She died
just inside of the church door.
The officers were notified at once and

pretended to know nothing about the
murder of his wife. He was locked up
in the Sparks Jail over night and the
next day was taken to the comfy Jail
at Reno.
Two children, aged 8 and 3 years, saw
the quarrel in the house before the
murder and saw their father return
after the killing. Tho older one has
told the officers about the quarrel and
about her fathers return to the house.
The children are being cared for by
