MALONEY FIRED SHOT Coroner's Jury Holds Woman Killed ' Her Husband. FATHER 0'NEIL ON THE STAND Trlla ( Nnmrrvu Acts Indicating' Woman'. Unbalanced - Mind Waited Before Giving the Alarm After Crime. Council Bluffs The testimony of Rev. Father O'Nell, her pastor, Mrs. 'A. T. Jones, her nelgh . bor, aided by that of police officers and others,' fully established the fact In the minds of the members of the coroner's Jury that Mrs. Katherine Maioney fired ; the shot that killed her husband, Michael i Maioney, at their home, 2121 Avenue F, . on Saturday afternoon. They returned a verdict to this effect at the inquest , conducted yesterday by ' Justice Joseph. Father O'Nell was the first -witness; He said the Maloneys had been members cf the Holy Family Catholic church since It was ; established five years ago, but that he had. known Mrs. ' Maioney for twelve, of fourteen ytars. He told of numerous instances ind acts that indi cated 'the unbalanced condition of he'r mind and told of threats that were re peated to him which concernod himself. She became violently angry" at him on numerous occasions over the most trivial tilings. On one occasion while the new church was In process of construction and the congregation was worshiping In a private residence, Mrs. Maioney ordered him to remove a picture hanging In the room to which she took unwar ranted exception and threatened ' him with violence when he 'did not comply. He; recounted numerous instances wlere she had told him of her intention to kill her husband, but ' when pres;el for a reason was unable to assign . any al though she frequently complained of him, declaring he was a "mean man.'' 'Offh-er trU Siorj . Deputy Marshal Crum, who was one of the first officers to . enter the house after the killing, detailed the position In which the body was found. The feet were lying inside the pantry and .the man was lying" on his face on the kitchen floor,' Several feet away waa a large pool of blood. In the man's left hand, held loosely with' the thumb in the trig ger guard, was the weapon w.th wh ch the murder had been done. Underneath the body were found a butcher knife and a crumpled , and bloody $1 bill. Mrs. Maioney was wearing a freshly launda.vd white underskirt without a dress and a light white cape about her shoulders. She claimed the man had shot him self. He told of Mrs. Maioney later Ull ing him of a bloody . dress wnlch - she concealed in a closet after trying to burn it. . The garment was found and produced in court, blood-stained and partly burned. The officer te;tXed that there were, forty-nine empty beer bottls in the closet and six tr seven Inside a base-burner that stod in the kitchen. He . also testified that Mrs. Maloneys arms' and breast showed several brulee where she had apparently received heavy blows at the hands of her' husband. He testified that the two other bullet holes found In the room had been fired at right angles from the point where Moloney's body lay. Quarrel Before Shooting. ' Evidence of a violent quarrel preceding the shooting was given by Mrs. Jones. She said they had been quarreling for a long time and she heard Maioney say, "You started It." Just before she heard the shot, she said she heard Maioney say, "Oh, Kate! don't Kate!" She said It was between twenty and thirty minutes after the shooting before Mrs. Maioney came out of the house and called for help. She told of the frequent quarrels the couple had had. Chief of Police Froom submitted the report made by the officers, and Dr. H. B. Jennings detailed the story of the autopsy and presented the bullet that had caused the man's instant 'death.'' Mrs.- Maloney's condition ye3terday be came so serious that tt was noceitcary to remove her from the city jail to Ft. Bernard's hospital, where she will prob ably be .held until after the snnd Jury meets on September 20 if she Is not sooner brought before the Insanity com missioners. .

The pyrotechnic procession of . the Are de partment attracted an. enormous crowd, packing Main street from the Pearl street Junction to Broadway."" The railway men joined the firemen of No. 1 company and equipped it with about a dosen times the quantity of red fire that had 'been allotted to its apparatus. Assistance of the same kind was given to No. 6 com pany, and the equippage brilliantly out shone that of the other companies. Al though the run was made at nearly top speed the supply of roman candles was inadequte, and - when the procession reached Broadway the batteries had be come' exhausted. The companies will make , another , si miliar ' run tomorrow evening. When the pyrotechnics trero finished It required more than an hour for the throngs of people to work their way through the carnival gates. - SALE OF WOMEN'S HOSIERY AND SAMPLE NECKWEAR ' Brsndes secured an entire line of beau tiful sample neckwear frcm a New York : manufacturer at one-ha f its actual value. !Huncrls of charming new styles In I neckwear worth 60c on sale Saturday at eaturfiay we place on sale 5.0 pair of j'u'.l-fashloned women's lisle and boot silk ! hosiery ttat would regularly sell for SOfc, at, per pair, 29c BRANDEI3 'STORES. Council Settles Street Damages ' At a meeting of the city council yes terday afternoon a total of $600 was added to the valuation fixed by the appraisers of the property to be condemned for the opening of First avenue from Main 'to Fourth street. Bergman, , the owner of the double store located at 43 and 45 South Main street, was given an extra $500 and Dlckerson, who owns the photograph gal lery occupying all of the second floor of the building, was given $100 additional, making the total to be paid to the land lord 17,500 and $700 to his tenant. .The action was taken following a notice of appeal filed by Bergman, accompanied by an offer to accept $7,500 and a verbal protest from Photographer Dlckerson. Dlckerson, whose lease runs to March 14, 1914, had placed his damages at $1,3)0 and Bergman, who lives at Newton, la., had previously priced his property at $14,000, and It was shown that It had cont him more than the amount he had offered to accept. Dlckerson made a strong repre sentation , of the damages that would be inflicted upon htm by the destruction of an established business which would fol low the vacation of a place that had been used for a photograph gallery for twenty five years. When the matter was fully presented the council unanimously ap proved the acceptance of Mr. Bergman's offer and the deed was forwarded for his Council Bluffs signature last evening, and a contract with Mr. Dlckerson' was ordered. A request from M. F. Rohrer for the construction of a sewer on North Sixth street was granted. The ?wer will run in front of the property donated by Mr. Rdhrer for a part of Lincoln park, and the city will thus be obliged to pay one half of the cott. The property on the other side of the street Is all owned by Mr. Rohrer. A claim for $100 filed by Mrs. Mary Hummer for flood damages to her prop erty on Nineteenth avenue was referred to the judiciary committee. A report of the Judiciary committee advising ther settlement, of the suit of Marian, Schoen ing, aged 11 years, who sustained a broken leg last winter by falling on a bad side walk near the Ogden hotel, was approved. The claim was settled for $200. An extra fire horse belonging to No. 2 hose company, whote mate recently died, was ordered sold for $175. The firemen say the horse was "crazy" and became frantic whenever the fire gong was sounded. A petition for the extension of trackage required by the ,Imp?Tlal Mllllny company Was referred to the committee of the whole. The aldermen devoted the remainder of the afternoon to the assess ment of the Twenty-first street curbing. Mprclnl t'nrbrtknlfe Sale.

P. Peter son's only hope of averting starvation, although he operates a fine fruit and vegetable farm, Is to go gunning for tho hordes of thieves who have been preying upon blm all season. Peterson lives on a farm belonging to Dr. Macrae located at the extremity of Madison avenue and Just outside of the southeastern limits of the city. It Is also close to , Mosquito creek and nearby the popular "swlmmln' hole." dally visited by an army of boys and yourg men. . v In going to and from the bathing re sort the boys have to pass close to the abode of the Peterson family. Peterson, naturally of frail physique, haa been 111 all summer, and a fight put up by an or-, dlnary boy of 14 is greater "than he can overcome. This fact - has become gener ally known and the boys rob him with bold Impunity. They have carried away or destroyed the fruit of more than four acres ot grape, about all of the plums, raspberries , and blackberries and . de stroyed the greater part of his sweet corn. They have also beaten him on nu merous occasions. They have repeatedly broken into the house when the mem bers of the family would bo out In thai Council Bluffs field and ransacked it. On one occasion a short time ago they stole $56 in cash, which had been se creted in several places about the house. On another occasion they went to tho house and took all of the plums that had been gathered during the day. Peterson has a new bicycle he captured while. Its owner was stealing his grapes. On Sun day he had an all afternoon's fight wit'i the young bandits. The sheriff'!' deputies have made numerous trips to the farm, but have been unable to get a line on the young marauders.
