WOMAN FIRES
 THREE SHOTS
 AT YOUNG GIRL
Mrs. Ernie James Creates Excitement on Bis b e e Streets When She Seeks Life of Mary Hughes

Pedestrians on Main Street in the vicinity of the J. c. Penney store yes terday afternoon about 1:15, were startled by hearing three shots in rap i'd succession and then a woman scream An investigation disclosed the fact that Mrs. Ernie James had fired three times from a small calibre pistol at the 17 year old daughter of MT and Mrs. John Hughes. None of the shots took effect but all of them went close to the mark and the second one went through the end of the young lady's neck tie as she went around the corner of one of the show cases of the store in her effort to get away from the woman with the pistol.
 Just after she had fired the third shot, J. w. Carrigar, one of the clerks in the store, jumped over the counter and grabbed the gun away from her. Bassett Watkins, who was just across the street at the time of the shooting, came into the store and took charge of the woman and the gun and took her to Judge Highs office where a charge of assault with intent to com init murder was placed against her. She waved preliminary examination and was held to await the action of the superior court She gave bond in the sum of S6,000. which was furnished by John Hughes. c. A. Mcdonald and l.. J. Overlook.
 The facts leading up to the shooting are conflicting but it seems to be pret- ty generally agreed that the James woman in cOmpany with woman by the name of Brown and the Hughes girl met in front of the Penney store and that Mrs. James suddenly eX- tracted a revolver from her handbag and began firing at the Hughes girl. who ran into the store. Mrs. James fired once. according to witnesses. as as the girl ran down the aisle, this time within two feet of her.
 When Mrs. James was taken to the office of Judge High she expressed no regrets over the shooting but boastfully declared she was ordinarily good shot and was sorry that she had not killed the girl. She said to one of the officers: 'I used to be a good shot shooting jack rabbits but l was T poor shot this afternoon but l could not hit that girl as she was running and dodging too fast" The officer said: Well, you ought to be thankful that you were poor shot and did not kill her" She replied: No, am not. wish that I had killed her"
 John Hughes has been shift boss for the Conner Queen over twenty years and his family. consisting of a wife and daughter and two sons. had been separated from him for about two years and are living on School Hill while he has been making his home in Warren.
 Mrs James is the former wife of Johnny James and has been a resident of the District for over twenty years. She was divorced from Mir. James a little over a year. ago.
