WROB BAffNES WI no HINgO
ATTACK BY STATE
With the stage all set, a jury that
weeps, clothes all black and little
white handkerchief that hobs here
and there, Mrs. James Barnes, Wild
Ow, sObbed her. way through a life
story yesterday in Judge Fitch's
court.
Details of a loveIess wandering
until she f1irted with Barnes, a linen
salesman, in loop cafe; a little love
affair that frightened her story, and
the marriage of a stormy, hot and
cold couple, were points in her tale
that led up to the parrot incident
and Ray Shellhammer, husky loop
bartender.
She told of the parrot escaping
and how brawny SheIhammer swung
himself up in a, tree after the bird,
caught it and walked home with her
to wash his hands. In the quiet voice
of the wronged, Mrs. Barnes told of
her husband slipping in to find Shell
hammer with his coat OF.
Then he left her, she said, and he
sued for divorce; many times she
pleaded with him not to stay away,
she was hungering for his love, a
homeless, wronged woman, she told
the jury-and there were tears shed
in the jury box.
She met him in Washington Park
one gusty, wet night and there tried
to pull him back to her; he abused
her, she says. In the struggle he was
shot. She didn't do it Intentionally.
But today the state took her
in hand to wipe out the effect of the
black clothes, life story, tears, and
the tiny white kerehief which hobs
about as Mrs. Barnes talks.
All morning Mrs. Barnes withstood
a polite battering from Asst States
Atty BarnhaTt, Weakened some
