 This being so, it must have been an agreeable surprise to Myrtle Bennett when her husband proposed, after two rounds of golf, that the quartet return to his apartment, have cold Supnel and pass the evening at the bridge table. Here Is what occurred next, as Mr.. Hoffman related il to the police.
 "The Bennetts were partners against uy husband and myself.

 As the game went on, tn Bennetts criticisms of each other grew more and more caustic. Finally spade hand was bought by them in the following manner: Bennett bid spade.

 This seemed to lnruriate hls wife and she began goading him with remarks about bum bridge players. He came right back at her. l don't remember the exact words. This kept up for several minutes. We tried to stop the argument by demanding cards, but by this time the row had become so pronounced that Bennett, reaching across the table, grabbed Myrtle's arm

THE Bennetts-John A
 G. and his attrac. ~
 tive wife, Myrtle
 Were having quiet
 bridge game in their Kan. > sas City, Missouri, home with their friends, Mr. and Mrs. Charles HoF-
 man.
 The play was animated; C the hetWeen-hands small
 talk just what you would
 expect in the circum.
 stances; the evening bore A< every aspect of neighbor- N ly good humor and the
 casual affability of people
 who know and like one
 another, and enjoy - brisk rubber. (
 Besides the HoHmans, how wever, the Bennett. r were entertaining un-
 awares a third guest
 Death. This intruder
 struck quickly, savagcly, \ at that moment when a furious quarrel famed up between the host and
 hostess over the husbands ability --or stupidity-as d player.
 Tragedies, comedies and the broadest farce have stalkcd in the wake of many bridge game
 as set forth on another part of this page-ever since the vogue became far-fung. It is doubtful if any of these cases have equalled the Bennett disaster in intensity a intricacy.
 The details of Bennett's death, this article will attempt to chronic them, must necessarily depend large on that version of the shooting giv by the Hoffmans; for Mrs. Benne held on a charge of tirst-degree mt der, has been too hysterical to gi completely her side of the affray backward glance at the home life the Bennetts, as 1t was known to oth ncighbors, may prove interesting, al;
 The couple lived in a fashionat Park Manor apartment at Kansas Ci' They were decidedly "well off" Be nett, who had been married to Myr Bennett for eleven years, had, by al bilious application of his talents, | come a highly paid perfume agent f yearly salary and commissions came s35, ,O00, and sometimes reach S40,OOO.
 This is rated good pay for a m barely thirty-SiX. 1t was certainly long leap from his financial bcginIin, When Bennett married Myrtle in lo he was then twenty-five; she, twcnt tlrce-he was getting S200 8 mon as perfume salesman for we known concern. Four years ago he V made Western representative a transferred to Kansas City. There established his wife and children in handsome home.

 Friends of Myrtle Bennett point ou, \ suggestive happening in her life ths, mI2ht easily have caused her to brood, 10 hate the world, 10 resent with fero cIous lmpatlence any criticism of her conduct, even In so small matter as a bridge game. In the past four wears she lost two children. The second child dled two years ago. Since then, 1t is sad, Mrs; Bennett had shown signs of melancholia. Often she would sudden iy rise during dinner and rush from the room, her handkerchief pressed to her eyes. She complained of Loneliness" and her mother, touched. consented to move in with the family to keep up her daughters spirits while Bennett was m the road on business.
 The Kansas City bridge tragedy is. of course, primarily case for the law. But prominent psychologists are study ing its chief factors with keen interest. for the fatal game was not the start but the climax of the domestic discord. Meanwhile auction experts like Milton Work are advising that the over-emo- tional abstain from playing, on the score that 1t, unlike contract bridge, gives too easy vent to wild passions hidden in the human heart. x
