When he arrived Wells was there and overheard Mrs. Barry tell Johnson that she did not want Wells in the house and that he must give up his room. Then without prov ocation Wells opened fire, one of the bullets entering Johnson's body just above the heart.
 The Barry woman declares that when Johnson appeared at the house Monday night he insisted on going to his room and that Wells suddenly whipped out a gun and fired four shots or so at Johnson, three of them miss ing their intended victim, but the fourth dropping Johnson.
 It was declared in New London on Thursday that Wells should have been apprehended by the police the night of the shooting.
