behind your shell-like ear or you

This ill-mated couple had reached the
stage when they should have told their troubles
to a judge. but instead each slept with re-
volver close at hand, where it could be seized
in an instant. When the final argument came,
the Princess won 1t by grabbing her revolver
first, and killing him. She said the Prince
had sworn on his Koran that he would kill her,
and since he wasn't in court to refute that
testimony, the jury acquitted her.
At any rate. the police entered the dining
room of dying jeweler Burns and found the
woman who was just becoming his widow,
moaning on the floor. On her head was a cut
and in her hand an empty revolver
Also present, uninjured but somewhat
stunned. were Leonia Harris the colored maid
and Gene Rodemich 21-year-od law student
Lues son by her deceased second husband,
the locomotive engineer. Gene is second cousin
and nsmesake of the late wel-known st.
Louis bandeader of the same name. Mrs.
Burns admitted she had done the shooting
but insisted it was in defense of her life
At the coroner's inquest the widows state
witness was Leonia, who testified that the
quarrel was over the husbands refusal TO 60
back to his store that evening and get
dress which Mrs. Burns had ordered to be
delivered there
The husband had said he was sick and
tired Of having her send purchases to the
store instead Of to the house as was proper
The argument had grown hotter and hotter
until finally the jeweller had struck his wife

took the occasion to get the re-

His body lay in the bathroom. with a pill

bullet which had entered just above the left
hip passed all the way through his body and
come out just above the right hip. Looking
around the house they found Spain's service
pistol in the ice box, with one chamber
freshly fired and the others loaded.
The police told Cora that to them II seemed
unlikely that a right-handed man could shoot
himself fatally in the left hip. somewhere
about the house, then place the gun in the
ice box and go into the bathroom to die.
According to Police Captain T. George
