Evangelist Tour

From q dog,eared Bible stained
with the blood Of his evangelist
wife, Lloyd Pussy sought consola-
ton for her murder today.
The shaggy giant Of the saw
dust trail, porting over its pages at
the Union County Jail in Elizabeth,
N. j., stood accused Of hammering
her to death in their car. last
night after she had repulsed his
caresses.
READS BIBLE
TT was self-defense," he mum
bled, and buried himself in his
Bible.
The tragic murder Of Mrs. Mary
Cannon Pussy cast its shadow long
before-when Lloyd Pussy left his
pillow standing in the burrows OF
his farm at Oakland, N. j., and
went to Los Angeles where he met
her.
They were married after a court
ship Of two weeks. He was A, she
was four years younger. And she
persuaded him, with her gentle
ways, to hit the saw-dust trail with
her.
They embarked on a transcon-
tinental preaching tour-these two
to save other souls, forgetting
their own. They pointed to Heaven
as their destination.
PREVIOUSLY WE'D
But the religious cloak Mary
Pussy had cast over her past
parted one night, and Lloyd dis
covered she had had four previous
husbands. They quarreled by day,
saved souls by night.
And at 10 O'Clock last night,
Pusey had enough. He drove to a
lonely spot near Linden, N. j., and
had it out with her. 1t is his story
that she said:
"IIl leave you or I'll kill you'll"
And so, police said he told them,
he tried to caress her only to be
showed aside and, in a blind rage,
picked up a mason's hammer and
Dashed in her skull.
HIT HIM IN FACE
"She hit me in the face and
I grabbed the hammer and
struck her God knows how many
times" was the way his account
ended.
He drove on, with her body
slumped beside him-the Bible
resting on her black skirt. At a
gas station on Mopsick Avenue,
Linden, he paused for gas and
aroused the suspicious of the at
tendant, who called radio police.
Guns drawn, two of the police
caught him and he stepped out,
hands held gauntly aloft in the
bright moonlight.
Don't Shoot he said mildly.
