NECRESS SLAyS HUSBAND AFTER
 ROW OVER JUG
Ferda Woman, Claiming Self Defense, Exhibits No
 RemOrSe.

q kilt him for to keep him from killin' me. l shot him once in the chest, and he fell. Then 1 put in an- other shell and tried to shoot him again. But do you know, that gun snapped three times on me! If it had snapped the first time, l would be dead now"
 These were the words used by Min nie Hughes, young negro woman, after she had been brought to Pine win, in describing the killing yester- day morning of her husband, Guy Hughes, on farm near Ferda.
 Hughes, negro about 36 years old was shot once in the chest with a single barrel shot gun. After the killing, the woman went to Tucker and surrendered to W. c. Watson there. Later, Deputy Baldwin went to Tucker and brought her to town and placed her in jail.
 In telling of the affair, the wom- an seemed to experience no remorse or regret, and seemed more or less pleased to repeat the details of the killing. She said the trouble began several days ago over a molasses jug. The jug figured in the story when she refused to carry it from where he had placed it after taking it from buggy in which they had come to town. All the way home, she said. he abused her, and even threatened to kill her with razor he had in his pocket.
 Her mother was visiting her, she stated, and that night, he repeatedly threatened to kill "you and your nanny too." The following morn ing, yesterday, they went out to pick cotton, she stated. Hughes, she noted, went to the house and took his Win chester to the field, and hid it in a potato patch. She said he thought he was unobserved.
 "When l saw him hide the Win chester" she said, q knew he was going to try to kill me, so I went in the house and got the shotgun. Pretty soon he came towards the house, and when he got close enough, I shot him. l unbreeched the gun then and put in another shell and got up closer and tried to shoot him again, but the trigger snapped three times"
 The woman said she and her hus- band were working crop on shares on a place near Ferda. She said he occasionally had "spells" and thought he had one of them on this occasion.

ATTEMPT TO END ENCL AND'S RAIL
 STRIKE FAILURE
Efforts of Men to Reopen Me- gOtiatiOns With Govern
 ment Collapse.

London, Oct. 2.-Though it would be premature to abandon hope of a settlement of the railway strike. the situation tonight has disappointed the almost universal expectation of some arrangements resulting from the numerous conference yesterday and today between the labor repre- sentatives and the government.
 James Henry Thomas, general secretary of the National union of railwaymen, announced that efforts to reopen the negotiations collapsed owing to the governments refusal to go beyond its previous offer. He added that other unions than that of the railway men were continuing their efforts at mediation. while the strike continued, the railroad men would do nothing to hinder media tion.
 The transport workers federation will hold another meeting tomorrow indicating that they are still reluc- tant to call strike.
 Robert Williams, general secretary of the transport workers union, ar- nounced tonight that he would seek another conference with the premier tomorrow, and there will be meet ing of the executives of the various unions involved to consider a future course of action.
