| legged statement of Mrs. White that she
was a friend of the family must not be
true as none of them had ever heard
from her before.
Dr. McNabb said that Anderson's rel
atives would aid in prosecuting White
for the shooting. Mrs. McNabb, the
! wounded mans sister. while deeply griev-
ed that her brother is in so serious con-
dition, says she is greatly affected by the
fact that there is a woman in the case.
When the officers first arrived at the no
tel Mrs. White was on the ground floor
of the building, seated in the parlor. She
told the officers that she had been to her
room and put away the pistol and had
then returned to the hall to see what had
become of Mr. Anderson. Not finding him,
she came to the parlor.
WHAT THE WOMAN SAYS.
Mrs. White was seen in the matron's
ward at the station house Wednesday
morning about o'clock, and gave an In
teresting statement regarding the TRACE
dy in the Aragon hotel Tuesday after
noon.
She at first declined to make any state
ment whatever, and appeared to be in
very nervous state, stating that she had
not slept a moment during the night.
THE statement OF the officers" she
said. that 1 attempted to commit sui
eide after Mr.. White shot Mr.. Anderson,
is absolutely false. although 1 did have
pistol in my hands, after the affair,
but 1t was the same weapon with which
my husband shot Mr.. Anderson.
Instead of trying to kill myself, Mr..
White tried to kill me in the hall. and
in some way either wrenched the pistol
from his hands, or grasped It in such
manner that he could not shoot. I
then talked to Mr.. White and we walked
back into my room from the hall, and
quieted him.
IT WAS so EXCITED"
1T was then that / took the pistol. and
unloaded it, taking four cartridges and
one empty from the chambers. / threw
the loaded cartridges on the bed, but
DO not know what became of the sheh
that had been used. The officers asked
for 1t, but 1 could not tell them where
/ 1t was. You see, was so excited, and In
such a nervous condition, that 1 cannot
remember just what happened, but be-
lieve that is just about the way 1t all
transpired.
MIR. White was just about demented.
He had been that way all day. and. in
fact, for two or three days. 1 do not be-
l.eve he knew what he was doing.
ASKED ABOUT ANDERSON.
II then asked someone how badly Mr..
Anderson was shot, and was told that
he was in a serious condition."
Mrs White then turned to the reporter
and said Now l am sorry that l can
not give you a statement, but my lips
have been sealed by my counsel, and l
am not allowed to talk. All l wish to
say is that l am here, and do not know
why, except that have been told that
am being held here in the matron's ward
as a witness in the case"
WHITE KEEPS SILENT.
White was seen in the state ward at the
citation house Wednesday morning, AMI
refused to give out any statement. saying
that he had not yet had a consultation
with his attorney.
He did state that he was not feeling

White appeared to be composed. and
talked to the reporter about current
topics.
Mrs William White. one of the conspic-
uous figures in the Aragon tragedy Tues
day afternoon. is a strikingly beautifui
woman. Although slightly heavy, she is
