waiting In the hall for her to dress, so

man entered tha house and went into
Mrs. Campbell's room, and I heard them
talking. Then he came out and went
upstairs. A few minutes later aha ap

told her I was returning to St. Louis
Sunday night.
"I waa Just about to leave when tha

I thought It strange that she had mar

death, but said nothing about It I
finally got up to go, and went Into tha

"As I got tha weapon free Frances,
who had followed her husband Into tha
hall, sprang at me like a tigress and
struck me twice In the face. In throwing
up my right arm to ward off thla second
attack the weapon was discharged, and
she fell. A crowd rushed in and a man
took the revolver from me. I had no In
tention of shooting anyone, boya, and If
Francca had not come Into tho hall, it
probably would never have happened. I
struck Campbell on the head, after she
fell and sank n a chair, exhausted, Just

Robert Mitchell, who was pit boss In a
coal mine at Cartervilli- had been killed
about two weeks ago. when a block of
lata fell on him.
Smith, says that he Is still a deputy
United States marshal, and that the
badge which was taken from him at the
police station, and which It la asserted
he flashed at the Wldener residence, la
legitimately his own. He declared that
he Is at prrs. nt in the real estate bus

two broken ribs and a dislocated hip, as
she was alighting from a street car In
St. Louis.
Campbell, who Is still held at the station,
