Her phy- sIcian said she needed fires S, and that alone would cure her. She could not be cured and take care of the children too. Martin was the oldest and the least trouble and she thought she knew of people who would take care Of him but not the girl.
 So Sunday she inserted this ad- vcrtisement:

SLAIN BY WIFE FOR WHOM HEKILLED TWO
Fourth to Meet Death Because
 Of Woman

Winfield. Kan, July 27.-Homer s. Wilson, matinee idol of Wild West shows, who killed two men on the main street of Tahleouah, Okla, & year and half ago, 10 avenge his wife's honor, himself was shot and killed on a lonely country road near here late yesterday by Mrs Wilson.
 And in Wilson perished the fourth man intimately connected with the pretty, dark-haired woman who now sits quietly in the county jail here. Charies West, first husband of Mrs. Wilson. was shot and killed from ambush near Tahleauah half a dozen years ago. Then Frank Anthony and his father. William, fell at Wilson's hands because, so Wilson charged, young Anthony, foreman Of Mrs Will sons ranch at Tahlequah, had paid attention to Mrs. Wilson while her husband was fin the army.

turning with the Wilson's. According to their story, Wilson had been driv- ing very fast When a stop was made for tir. trouble and Wilson left the car, Mrs. Wilson slid into the drivers seat, insisting she would drive. An argument followed and Mrs. Wilson suddenly shot twice with an automatic pistol she had taken from the back of one of the seats.
 Wilson, whose home was in Win field, had been much in the public eye here recently. Inducted into the service with the largest draft con- tingent sent from the county, he soon complained to draft officials that his wife had reported suffering at the hands of her foreman. Frank An thony. He demanded protection for her. The case was turned over to federal officials, but evidently nothing was done.
 Killing of the Anthonys.
 When Wilson returned from the army he went to Tahlequah. There he testified that Mrs. Wilson had confessed the Anthonys had am-
 
 band and had sworn to kill Wilson. From the window of picture show the next day Wilson saw young An thony coming down the street. Al though armed with revolver, Will soon took a rife from the walI and going into the street engaged An thony in a duel, shooting him twice. The father then rushed around corner, but was killed by Wilson as he reached for his sons pistol.
 Because of the unusual appeal. business men of Winfield subscribed to $1,000 fund to defend Wilson. Mrs. Wilson did not appear at the trial Her relations with the An thonys were described by relatives. Wilson was acquitted by the jury under the ''unwritten law
