mrs. HIRSCH FREED
IN SHOOTING CASE
She and Husband Testify They
Were Hazy From Too
Many Drinks.

Mrs. Hazel Hirsch was acquitted yes
terday at Mineola Of the charge OF
shooting her husband through the Jaw
with an automatic pistol after a lawn
party last June at RENE Davies's home
IN Freeport. Her husband, Oscar, had
been with her through the two day tria
and both sobbed together when the ver-
diet was announced
This is the best Christmas present
Lave ever had" said Mr. Hirsch.
Mrs. Hirsch's recollection Of the shoot
ing was hazy and so was her husbands 8
They said they drank so much at the
Davies home that they began to lose
consciousness. Neighbors of Miss Davies
testified to having noticed the condition
Of Mrs. Eirsch. Even the two negro
jazz players. the trap drummer and the
pianist. who supplied the music, found
time to observe Mr. and Mrs. Hirsch
tottering about the dance floor. Mrs.
Diana Haitian made distinction be-
tween the condition of Mrs Hirsch and
that OF her husband in the following
analysis:
Mrs. Irsch was very drunk. Mr..
Hirsch was very, very drunk"
When she was asked by Elvin n. Ed
wards, Assistant District Attorney, II
she had seen any one sober. she replied.
Not n great many. Mr.. Hirsch was
frank about his condition, describing
with some gusto that he was not only
very drunk" but that he reached the
point of being rough" The sequel to
the Davies party had cured him. he
said. and he had never taken a drink
since and never would again.
Hirsch's explanation OF the shooting
was that he had gone out on the Davies
lawn to get some air after feeling sick.
and while sitting on bench had been
seized with a fit of melancholla. He felt
the whole world was against him, and
that 1t would be better to "end II ALL
lie was fumbling with his revolver
when ne saw his wife approaching across
the lawn. and after a tussle between
the two there was an explosion.
The whole proceeding was to Mrs.
Hirsch like vague dream" She did
not remember anything after her last
drink at the Davies party. although Il
was shown that she reached home un-
aided. undressed. and later missing her
husband put on O. polo coat and went
in search Of him.

Strange as It may seem. l don't

You went back to the Davies homer"
II suppose I must have
did any one take you from your home
back to the Davies home?"
II haven't the slightest idea"
who undressed YOU that night %
81 haven't the slightest recollection"
Both Mr.. and Mrs. H!rsch testified
they had had an ideally happy married
life. and outside of minor differences
had never had n serious quarrel since
their marriage in Hoboken on March "a.
1916. Their demeanor at the trial gave
weight to this statement. and weakened
the efforts OF the prosecution to prove
that there was smouldering hatred
between the couple that eliminated In
the shooting.
The jury was out an hour.
