Coroner Schilling held an in quest Saturday morning, with the following jurors: Brown Riley, foreman; W. E. King, J. C. Riley,'E Ragin, G. W Winn and F. T. Schilling. The verdict declared that the killing was murder. Severel witnesses were examin ed, but only one knew anything that would show cause for the schooting. This evidence was to the effect the wife and husband had been quarreling and fighting about another woman. That on the night of the shooting, the.wife called her husband from the home of that other woman, and shortly afterward the pistol shot was fir ed, and the wife died almost im mediately. The bullet entered the head just above the right eye. When shot the wife was standing on the front porch, and the hus band on the ground. Lewis says the shooting was ac cidental, and that within an hour he had taken three drinks of whis key. Lewis Roberts was arrested Sat urday morning, and is now in jail, he having waived a commitment trial.
