CHARGED WITH MURDER
Hartford County Woman Held
For Shooting Husband

| A charge of murder was plac
ed Saturday against Mrs. Jan
ice Mick, 33-year-old wife Of
a gentleman farmer" a
whom she admits shooting ste
score him" early Friday night
He was found dead from the
loss of blood Saturday morning
in a clump of bushes $50 yards
from their home, near Darling
ton, Hartford county.
Mrs. Mick was taken to the
Hartford county Jail at Bel Air
by Sheriff Reese Bowman after
a coroner's jury gave a verdict
that the victim. Lonnie E.
Mick, who was nearing his fif-
tieth year, had died from bullet
wounds inflicted by his wife.
The shooting, according to
Mrs. Mick's statement to the
Sheriff, took place outside of
the garage on their one hun
dred-acre- farm, when her hus-
band, who had been drinking,
struck her. Then, she told
Sheriff Bowman, she took a
pistol from a pocket in the car
door and began shooting in
his direction to scare him."
Her husband walked away,
apparently unhurt, but as he
did not return to the house
that night, a search was made
for him next morning, and his
body found in clump Of BUSH
es near the scene of the shoot
ing.
A medical examination dis
closed that Mick had been
struck with two bullets-one
hitting him in the left leg
slightly above the ankle and
the other striking him in the
right leg, a few inches above
the knee. 1t was the latter,
which severed an artery, that
caused his death, the jury
found the man having bled to
death.
Mrs. Mick, who was divorced
a little more than six years ago,
married Mr.. Mick; in July, 1927,
in Washington, she said. Her
former husband, it was said,
was named Burns and had been
employed in the construction
of the Conowingo Dam. Mr..
Mick also had been divorced
shortly before their marriage.
