TENNESSEE VALLEY BUREAU !
 THE .AtsE- HERALD : Sheffield. Ala, Dec. 2l ]

Relatives and intimate friends of Mrs Leslie Longcrier. whose life was ended by pistol shot at her home in Tuscumbia Monday afternoon, are of the opinion that her death was the result of the accidental discharge of the pistol In proof of this they claim that there was no cause for her to end her life and that the DOW der burns about the wound would in- dicate that the weapon was not close to her chest when it was discharged.
 They believe that she dropped the weapon in an effort to overtake Mr. Longcrier to give it to him, as he was leaving the house. 1t Is said that she had borrowed the pistol from friend with the intention of taking it with her on a hunt for mis- tletoe. Her mother had requested her not to take the pistol and 1t Is thought that she was attempting to carry out the request when she met her death.
