late last night at her home on Wins

ed that liquor and abuse were her
reasons for asking for the separation.
This morning she said that her hus-
band had been making a living by
b~ootlegging. and that she left him
for this reason. She has a daughter
by a former marriage.
In his sober moments, she said.
her husband was all that could be
desired. When he had been drinking
he became brutal. Previous to the
shooting last night she met her hus-
band and talked with him. She states
that at that time he had a bottle OF
whisky, which she tried to take from
him. Finding that trouble was brew
ing, she tried to escape into her
home.
She further said at this the man
became enraged and started to break
up the furniture on the porch, adj
ding to the devastation by tearing
down the vines. As she retreated into
the house he sailed a brick after her,
left a mark on her shoulder.
. minute later he broke down the
door. which she had locked, and was
met with a nash from the revolver.
Two shots were fired, she says,
one Of them taking effect:
Mungoven then left the house and
went across the street to a brick pile,
with which ammunition he lombard
ed the building until driven away by
He then went to the sta
ton for police aid. Later he retired
