WOMAN IMPLICATED
IN HUSBANDS DEATH
Wife of Oklahoma Detective Who
Was Killed as He Slept
Placed in Jail.

BY the Associated Press.
OKLAHOMA CITY, December 10
Mrs. Edith NJ. Bishop, wife of Luther
Bishop, the State detective who was
shot TO death as he slept in his home
here December 5. was held in jail
here today on a charge Of murder.
Mrs. Bishop was arrested yesterday
following a week of investigation by
State officials and after scores OF
men with criminal records had been
questioned, on the theory that under
world enemies.of Bishop had shot him
to death because of his unusual sue
cess in breaking up bandit gangs. She
was first detained at the county jail
the day following the shooting, but
was released without charge being
.iled.
Bishop. known as "two-gun' Of
ficer. who gained fame throughout the
Southwest for his work during the
Usage Indian country 'reign of ter
ror," in which several wealthy In
dians were killed, was known to have
many enemies among men who had
served prison sentences largely as a
result of evidence he secured.
Authorities turned from the theory
gangsters had slain him when his
two pistols were found in a closet
near the bedroom where the shooting
occurred Mrs. Bishop declared she
knew little about the killing. except
that she was sleeping in bel near
her husbands when she was awak-
ened by shot. The shooting con-
tinued, she said. as she fed to sum-
mon aid. A coroner's jury found that
eight bullets had been fired from
Bishops pistols and that seven struck
him. The formal charge against Mrs.
Bishop yesterday was the first inti-
nation OF the trend Of the investiga-
ton.
Authorities announced they would
compare Mrs. Bishops fngerprints
with those found on the pistols.

NEW YORK, April 24.-After yes

over to the shoemakers. The pan
amas were cut for uppers. which were
