she saw fashionably and extensively

charged, clubbed De King with the
butt of his gun.
Terror stricken when his mother
was shot to death, Gerald, 9-year-
old son Of the De Kings, seized a
revolver and shot one of the raiders
in the leg.
Armed with a search warrant, the
raiders first went to the De King
home Tuesday night, Deputy Sheriff
Roy Smith, leader of the raiders,
said he demanded entrance to the
house, which he said was a speak
easy.
De King refused to allow the raid
ers to enter so Smith retired for re-
Inducements.
Armed With Mustard Bomb
Armed with mustard gas bombs,
Smith and four other deputies re-
turned and surrounded the house.
Smith again called on De King to
come out, but he refused. Smith
entered the house, only to be met
by De King with a shotgun. Smith
said De King hit him with the butt
of the gun. The deputy retaliated
with a blow to De Kings jaw, which
floored De King.
Smith said Mrs. De King then
reached behind telephone stand
as If for gun and he shot her. She
died on the way to hospital.
Gerald, seeing his mother shot, got
a revolver and shot Smith in the
leg.
The father and son were taken to
the sheriff's Office for questioning.

Robert A. Milroy, former assist

reported later that he was called
on the telephone by Mrs. De King,
who was pleading frantically for
help.
"I heard her calling help and
then I heard a report that sounded
like a shot," Milroy said. "Then
came a scream and the wire went
dead"
When he arrived at the De King
home, the battle was over and the
principals were gone.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH
PROVES MURDER OF
'UNFAITHFUL' MATE
Woman Admits Using
Chloroform to End
Husbands Life.

BI Gnltsd Press
HARTFORD, Conn, March 26.-
What apparently had been an acci-
dental death turned out today to be
one of the strangest murders in New
England history with an attractive
young wife admitting that she stood
over her husband and dropped chlo-
roforn on a handkerchief over his
face until he died,
Mrs. Olive Storey Adams con-
fessed late Monday that she had
finished her husband because he
was "unfaithful and cruel and even
brought other women home to din
ner."
The dead man is Harry E. Adams,
80, meteorologist in charge of the
United States weather bureau here,
whose uncanny forecasting of the
Vermont floods brought official
commendation from the government.
AS emotionless as the Buddha
image that stood in her home, Mrs.
Olive Adams, 81, was arraigned to-
day for murder.
She waived examination and was
bound over to the April term of
criminal superior court without bail.
Charges Mate UnfaithfuI
A tragedy that goes into the in
tricacies of oriental religion for its
root was revealed by the confession
Mrs. Adams was said to have made
to police.
They said she confessed she killed
her 32-year- husband because he
was unfaithful. Adams death was
at first pronounced accidental.
Adams was found dead in bed
Sunday when the family physician
called in response to a telephone
message from Mrs. Adams.
Medical Examiner Henry Costello
questioned the woman. She told
how Adams had been suffering from
insomnia, how he had hit upon the
plan of putting few drops of chic
reform on a handkerchief to aid
him in going to Sleep DR.. Costello
gathered all the facts and pro-
nounced death "due to accident"
my husband must have taken too
much chloroform, MRS. Adams told
Costello.
Police Doubt Story
Police were suspicious. They
showed Mrs. Adams a statement
from experts that it was virtually
impossible for person to admin
lister a lethal dose of chloroform to
himself. They asked her about re-
ports that her husband had been
going with other women.
At last Mrs. Adams said: "All
right, I finished him."
"He was unfaithful and cruel to
me-" Mrs. Adams said. "Once he
even brought a woman here and
made me cook dinner for both of
them. I stood it as long as I could"
Mrs. Adams confession revealed
that her husband had devoted much
of his time recently to the study of
occult sciences and oriental re-
ligions.
He recently became a convert to
Buddhism and on the mantle of the
Adams home a stone image of
Buddha squats between two high
candles.
