at that time "buried" their dead upon
an arbor supported by poles, but. they

USES AN AK TO
KILL HUSBAND
UNTIL HE WAS ASLEEP-HAD
THREATENED TO KILL HER
WHEN HE AwOIxE

Mary Roper, a negro woman, was
brought in from Casey's camp, near
Wylam. and placed in the city jail on a
charge of assault with intent to muir
der yesterday. The womans story pre-
sents some sensational features. She
stated her husband, Tom Roper, had ac-
cused of her of being unfaithful and after
beating her severely laid down on cot
to sleep, and that he told her when he
awoke he intended to kill her Waiting
until he was asleep the woman secured
an ak and struck him twice on the head,
inflicting two frightful wounds The only
reason she did not kill her husband was
that a friend of his came by and, after
a desperate struggle, overpowered the
woman and prevented her from carrying
out her intentions.
She claims that she acted in self-defense
and that the man would have killed her
sooner or later. The mans wounds were
dressed by DIR. T. r. Sugg. who stated
that his recovery was extremely doubt
full. The woman will be given hear
ing before Judge Sugg as soon as the
full extent of Roper's injuries is deter
mined.
