QUESTION WOMAN
 AFTER SHOOTING
Sheriff Believes Husband Killed
 by Someone Knowing Locale

Bonners Ferry, Ida, Oct. 2S Rl- Mrs. Violet Robertson was held for questioning today in connection with the fatal shooting Sunday night of L. C. Church, known here as Lew ellyn Curtis, her husband.
 In reporting the shooting, Mrs. Robertson expressed belief Church had been killed by enemies who fol- lowed him here from Maine, his former home.
 Sheriff H. H. Washburn, said he found the 30-30 rife with which he believed the man had been shot, in a we'll near the house. Mrs. Robert son, who admitted her identity and Church's after Skowhegan, Maine. authorities requested her arrest, said the rife disappeared from their house before the shooting.
 Maine authorities said an L. C. Church was indicted there last Sep- tember with a woman on a vice charge, but that neither appeared for trial and their bonds were for feited.
 Neighbors said MT. and Mrs. Cur tis" came here about month ago, purchased a small farm six miles from town, and had lived there since.
 A theory that Church was killed by robber was discounted, as he carried several hundred dollars in a money belt on his person, and .his was not touched. Sheriff Washburn said the man apparently had been shot by someone familiar with the ranch.
 An inquest will be held as soon as fingerprints found on the stock of the rife are photographed. R. E. keator, prosecuting attorney said.
