laney, declaring he was just as good a
man as Dulaney."
Mrs johnson corroborated the stories
told by her husband and Mrs. Dulaney
concerning Huff's previous visit and the
telephone conversation.
Huff, who lived in Hume Springs,
Va, died at Casualty Hospital early
today, several hours after Dulaney had
wounded him three times with a 80
caliber revolver. Dulaney fired at his
wife'S sutton four times, according to
police, but one of the shots went wild.
Huff was wounded in the head, back
and right shoulder.
Mrs. Dulaney was taken to the House
Of Detention, where she IS held for Gin
vestigation.'
Shortly, after his arrest, DuIaney
retained James A. O'Shea as his at
torney. The lawyer conferred with his
client at the police station this morn
ing, but declined to make any state
ment. An inquest into Huff'S death
was set for 1880 o'clock tomorrow
morning, however, and O'Shsa de-
clared he might have something to
say then"
Calls Policeman First.
The shooting occurred when Du-
laney, coming home from work, saw
HUFF enter his apartment. He tele-
phoned the police station and, explain
ing that man was visiting his wife,
asked that a policeman be sent to the
H street address.
When Policeman w. L. Dant arrived,
Dulaney asked him to watch the rear
Of the house while he went into the
apartment. Removing his shoes, Du-
laney crept up the stairs, opened the
door and entered the apartment.
He found his wife and Huff in cor
ner Of the bedroom, with two of his
children, Edward, years, and George,
months, asleep nearby. The other
youngsters, Hurtha, jr., 2, and Bessie, 3,
were at the home Of Mrs. Dulaney's
mother, Mrs. Madeline johnson, 1904
II street northeast.
As he entered the room, Dulaney told
police, Huff reached for his hip pocket,
shouting, I'm as good a man as you
are" Dulaney ran to the bed, reached
under the mattress and pulled out his
pistol. HUFF lunged at him, he said,
and he fired.
Officer Rushes In.
Hearing the reports of the revolver,
Policeman Dant ran upstairs. He placed
Dulaney under arrest and summoned an
ambulance, in which the wounded man
was taken to the hospital.
"I guess loved her too much" Du-
laney sobbed as he sat in the "office" at
the police station a few minutes later
Tears trickled down his cheeks. IT loved
her with all my heart, and took her
triding and fooling around too long"
Dulaney paused and buried his head
in his hands. A moment later he began
scribbling on the piece Of paper which
had been given him to write the story
OF the shooting He was locked In q
cell about an hour later.
Shortly after the shooting Huff's par
ents, MIR. and Mrs. Albert A. HUFF of
Hume Springs, who had been notified
by Alexandria, Va, police, went to the

weeks ago, her mother related, and did
not return for several days. She stead

Dulaney was so worried over his wife'S
affair with HUFF, Mrs johnson went ON,
that he begged his mother-in-l who
