I ter Half After Big Night-
Charges Murder Attempt.
Chicago Trlbune-Omuha, Ifoo LwxhI Wire.
Chicago, Jan. 3. John Marshall,
who celebrated New "Year's against
the protests of his wife, making a
full night of it, appealed, to the
police today. He said that after he
had found his way home, walking
erect, so that none ot the new yea,:'
libations would spill out of his ears,
his wife turned on the gas while -lie
slept.
"I want a warrant for my wife,"
he exclaimed. "She tried to kill me
by turning on t,he gas. The family
upstairs smelted' the fumes and broke
into my flat in time to save mc. The
gas jet was wide open. I'm sick
yet.' ,
"Try the divorce court," suggested
"That would never do," said Mar
shal. "We have n boy 3 1-2 years
old and the conrts would be sure'
to give her the custodv of the tad."
"Try the court of domestic rela
tions," said the sergeant.
"I'll try nothing," he said, "buf
will trust to luck, but I'm laying
odds she'll, kill me yet."
