Mrs. r. II. Case this afternoon shot
and killed her husband in the bed

There we're no signs Of a struggle

"The Cases had lived in Santa r,
for several years. Previous to CO
ing here, Case resided in Deming. II,
frequently had business here before
his removal to the capital. He was
land agent and often assisted eli
ents in selecting state lands. He is
! said to have been a quiet man with
little to say. Some years ago, it was
stated today, Case and his wife were
separated for time, and he is said
to have shown some jealousy. Fol-
lowing the reconciliation. however,
he never spoke Of the matter again,
even to his most confidential friends.
Cease was between As and so years
Of age. lie was member Of the
class which completed the taking o.
the Scottish Rite degrees here last
night. He had wide acquaintance.
"There have been rumors Of quar-
rels between Case and his wife, hui
no signs Of serious trouble have been
manifest. Mrs. Case. prior to her
marriage to Case, had been divorced
from a former husband. who resided
at FL Paso, and by whom she is the
mother Of two children. One boy, Il
years Of age, resides - Santa Fe,
and another is said to be with Bat
terry A.
'Mrs. Case, following the TRACED,
was hysterical. She wept and moan
ed and tore her hair and garments.
Kind-hearted women Of the neighbor
hood came in and assisted in quiet
ing her. DR.. ]. A. Massie, who was
called, gave her attention. He also
was q witness to the death Of her
husband, In her grief Mrs. Case
frequently called the name Of b
husband. 1t was shocking to see
her grief and see the blood besmear-
ed body Of her husband in the ad-
joining room. The woman seemed
more fit candidate for a hospital
than for a Jail.
Sheriff Celso Lopez and Officer
Alberto Garcia arrived early at the
stricken home, and, pushing their way
through a crowd Of gesticulating and
excited people, took possession in
the name Of the law. The house was
cleared Of all except those havl
some reason for being within. The
sheriff at once questioned Mrs. Cas-
who declared that she had shot in
self defense. Her husband came
home in an ugly frame Of mind and
threatened her. she said.
otis you or me- he is said to
have shouted as he brandished an
automatic revolver. Selling shot
gun, whose proximity to the bed
room is a matter Of conjecture and
investigation, the woman fired, ac-
cording to the story. The revolver
fell undischarged TO the floor.
MRS. Case is about 40 years Of
oge. She has borne a good reputa-
ton. The couple are described by
many who knew them, however, as
'peculiari' Case is said. to have told
friends at one time that his father
died by suicide"
