IN JAIL CHARGED WITH MURDER

OKLAHOMA CITY, Dee. 14.-(P
Mrs. Edith NJ. Bishop, widow Of
Luther Bishop. Oklahoma state de-
tectiVe, with whose death she is
charged, was arrested tonight and
confined in the county jail. Late
today a warrant was issued charg-
her with Bishops murder.

death in his bed with his own re-
vOIverS, while Mrs. Bishop was i'm
the room. Mrs. Bishop was ar
rested the next day, but was re-
leased some time later without amy
charges being filed.

Gently he is known to have been
working on the ease of Matthew
Kimes, convicted of murder, who,
assisted by about six friends, es-
capped from the SalIisaw county
Jail.
Bishops two revOIvers, which he
always kept at his side when he
slept. were found in closet of his
home the day after the murder.
Both contained empty shells. Until
the weapons were found, the gem
orally accepted theory was that
Bishop had been killed by an in
truder in his home, perhaps by
someone whomt he had been in
strumentaI in arresting.
The finding Of the two revoIvers,
however, brought out the discus
sion that the home IifA of the
Bishops had not always been
pleasant.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bishop were on the
sleeping porch of their home at
the time of the shooting, which
took place at about O'Clock in
the morning. Mrs. Bishop has said
