bard, his wife, at their Roslindale home
late yesterday, ended today when pitlock
telephoned police headquarters that he
would appear fer examination.
Although the shooting was said by Mrs
Hubbard to have followed threats by her
husband on her return from walk with
Pitlock the latter had fled when police
came to her call Mrs. Hubbard told the
police that she fired at her husband after
he had turned remarks against Pitlock
to herself and was making an advance
to attack her.
When arraigned Mrs. Hubbard pleaded
not guilty to a charge of murder. She
was bound over for the grand jury with
out bail. Her husband, whose body was
removed to the City hospital morgue. was
II years old. The couple had been mar
ried - years and two sons were born of
the union.
Last Thanksgiving day Hubbard in
vited several young men from the Boston
y. NJ. CA. hospital to have dinner at the
Hubbard home. Pitlock was among the
men who responded.

child in Chicago but recently was obliged

police, she cautioned him to cease such
innuendoes under penalty of suffering the
consequences. Hubbard is alleged to have
