ter, Ava Marie. step-child OF the VIC
tim of the tragedy, may be Tor the
purpose OF shielding someone other
than the mother.
The verdict OF the coroner's jury
was to the effect that Ben Neal had
come to his death from bullet fired
from gun held in Mrs. Meals hand
or in the hand of some person un-
known to her. 1t is gathered from
this that the jury is in possession OF
facts which would indicate another
party other than Mrs. Neal and her
husband was involved in the tragedy.
Both Mrs. Neal and her daughter
testified that they were alone in the
house with Ben Neal at the time the
tragedy occurred.
Saw Weapon in Box.
Ella Turner, 8, daughter Of ]. J.
Turner. a neighbor, and one CT the
members of the jury, testified that
she saw pistol in a long narrow
box in the room OF Ava on July II,
when she went into the room with
the latter to get pencil. Zetta
Turner, a nolder sister of Ella, went
into the room to write her name in
Ava's friendship book. The child,
naturally curious. looked into the
box and saw the gun.
Ava owned toy pistol and the
sheriff at the hearing procured long
glove box which he had taker from
the room where the killing occurred
and put the toy pistol therein The
little girl identified the box, but said
the toy pistol was not the weapon
she had seen.
1T was not a play gun; 1t was a
real gum" she said.
Later the weapon found in Neal's
hand was shown to her and she
said. THAT looks like the gun. 1t
had black handle and bright bar
rel" ,
Could Not Find Gun
This is the gun which the state
claims was the property OF Mrs.
Meals first husband, John Wright,
and which she states was kept con-
cealed in a chest at her Brownville
house. When Mrs. Neal heard that
Hans Nielsen, state Bertillon expert
had been called to identity finger
prints in the room where the kill
ing had occurred, she called Sher-
iff Davis and asked him to go to the
Brownville house and see if he could
find the pistol in the chest in an
upper room.
II handled the gun three weeks
ago and my finger prints may be
on it," she is alleged to have said.
Later on she testified at the coro-
ner's inquest that the gun had never
been disturbed. that it was wrapped
up. Sheriff Davis made search OF
the house and could not find the
weapon in the chest or in the room
which she described. He made
thorough search of the Brownville
house.
The gun is a cheap affair, such
as was on the market a score of
years ago. The bullets found in it
we're corroded with age.
Awakened by Shots.
On the night OF the tragedy Ava
Neal said she retired about $50,
soon feel asleep and was awakened
by the first OF two shots which she
said she heard. She had been read
ing. The book was The Fiery
Ordeal" by Charlotte NJ. Braeme,
book that was popular in the mid
Victorian era and a cheap edition.
The book lay on the dresser of her
room, face downward, opened at the
pages where it is presumed she was
interrupted in the reading. She said
she had started reading the book
