HUSBAND IS HELD
TO AWAIT OUTCOME
Of W|FE'S WOUNDS
Police Believe Hubbard Shot
Her and Then Attempted
to Commit Suicide.
COUPLE FOUND ON BED
IN LOCAL BOOMING HOUSE
Wo2an Says Grocery Clerk Bran
dished Pistol When He Could
Not Find Papers.

While his 21-year-old wife lay criti-
cally wounded in an adjoining room,
Oscar Hubbard, 80 years old, was under
arrest for investigation at Casualty Hos
pital today after what police say was
Hibbard's attempt to shoot the woman
to death and then commit suicide in
their rooms at Ala Sixth street yester-
day afternoon.
A bullet had pierced Mrs. Hibbard's
head, entering at the ear and coming
out at the mouth, and Hubbard was
suffering from conclusion and a surface
wound on his forehead when the couple
was found upon the bed in their second
floor room by another roomer, Mrs.
Rose Robertson.
Refuses to Admit Shooting.
Hibbard has refused so far to admit
firing any of several exploded cartridges
found in a .32-caliber gun recovered
from the room, and his wife is too sert-
ously hurt to give o coherent account
of the shooting. Doctors say the woman
has a good chance to recover and Hib-
bard should we well enough to leave the
hospital In several days.
Two bullets were found embedded in
the walls of the room and the room
itself was in disorder. A man living
next door, Robert Colquitt, told police
he heard five shots fired in the house,
but was not sure at the time If they
were the reports Of gun.
Mrs. Robertson was attracted to the
Hubbard rooms by groans when she
reached the head Of the steps on return
ing from work at 2 o'clock yesterday.
The shooting apparently had taken
place a half hour previously.
Says Husband Brandished Gun.
Mrs. Hubbard could not recall much
Of what happened yesterday. She told
police that Hubbard had insisted that
she find some papers relating to his
work at q grocery store on H near
Eighth street and that he had obtained
the pistol from a dresser drawer and
brandished 1t. After that, Mrs. Hubbard
said, she could not remember what hap
pened.
Hubbard declined TO answer most of
the questions asked him by police, re-
fusing to admit having fired the shots
or to say II any one In addition to his
wife was present at the time. The
woman, Mrs. Carrie Hubbard, and her
husband declined to discuss letters
found In their rooms relating TO a di-
vorce between Q "Mollie" Hubbard and
Oscar Hubbard.
The couple had been living at the
Sixth street address since the first OF
last month. Other roomers said they
apparently were happy together and no
one had heard OF quarrel between
them.
The Hibbards came here about two
months ago from Cumberland, Md. The
mans parents live at Atlanta, Ga, and
the womans at Somerville, Ohio.
Police today were awaiting the out
come Of Mrs. Hibbard's injuries before
placing Q charge against her husband

Action, Seeking $1,000 Damages,
Charges He Took Her Story and
Sold It as His Own.

Plagiarism Is charged In a suit for
81 900 damages fled In the Municipal
Court by Alma Chestnut, q young
author Of Pittsburgh, against Uthai v.
Wilcox, q local writer. She alleges that
Wilcox, while acting as her agent, sold
an article written by her to magazine
as his own original composition and
work,
Through Attorneys Cromelin 81 Laws
and Julian T. Cromelin, the court Is
told that April 80, 1928, Wilcox agreed
to act as agent for Miss Chestnut in
placing certain articles written by her
with suitable publications. She sent
him an unpublished article, it Is stated,
entitled rs Civilized Man Losing His
Sense Of Smell?" which, it Is asserted,
he used and sold to q magazine, known
as Science and Invention, and the
article appeared in the November, 1928,

ing her name brought to the attention
of publishers and thS reading public
