Statements
 On Killing Are
 Conflicting
Meunier's Dying Words | Contrast Sharply With
 Mrs. Friborg's Version.

Statements made by Ubolt Meunier, of 1160 Railroad avenue. as he lay at the point of death in St. Vincent's s hospital Monday morning, after being shot by his boarding mistress, Mrs. Victoria Friborg. were in sharp con- trast to the story told by the woman immediately after the shooting, ac- cording to testimony heard by Cor oner John J. Phelan, this morning.
 At the hospital, Meunier recognized the woman, according to statements made by police officers today, and ac- cused her of shooting him on pur- pose, because she was jealous. Simi- lar statements were made by the dying man as he lay in the house be- fore the arrival of the ambulance, neighbors and officers told the. cor Cner.
 The woman, on the other hand, told officers and neighbors at the time of the shooting, that it was entirely accidental. She was backed up iii this assertion, by her 13-year-old son, Robert, who was in the house at the time.
