threatened to take the family driving
horse in payment for wages due him.
Testimony at the trial by reporters
who interviewed the woman before her
arrest brought out the fact that Mrs.
Rehkuglcr had declared she would
rather kill Waters than to allow an
other woman to have him.

ated with him and shot to prevent his
leaving. This the woman denied.
