BENSON SENDS, BULLET INTO HIS OWN HEAD AF- TER TRYING TO KILL WIFE (Continued from Page One) with. the blood flowing through he: mouth. Entering the front room of the house upstairs, Benson was found ly ing on the floor by the side of the: bed in his nightclothes,'fece down: } ward. He had lost a great deal of blood. The center of the sheet was wet with blood, and there was bloo* on the back of Benson’s nightclothes about his head and chest. ‘Neighbors had been awakened by the sound of the shooting but few of them left their homes. The dawn was just beginning to break as the officers went in and out of the house. and -neighbors peered from behind half drawn curtains, Mrs. Benson went. to sleep in the hospital shortly after she was tak er there and her wounds were dress: ed. Officers waited until about 6:39 a.m. when they talked to the wound- ed woman. Again she had difficulty ir talking. The bullet had entered her mouth and come out the back of her head. Every once in a while during her brief conversation she w23 forced to halt because of the blee- ing wound. ‘ She said that her husband has been acting ‘queerly” and that he shot her and then killed himself. Police Galled Before This morning was not the first time that policemen had been callea to the “ghost house.” About eight years ago, it is said family difficulty resulted in both Benson and his wile being driver out of the house’ by a‘ relative at the point of a‘gun. Fou years ago they were called there va a report that a gun was stolen, it is said. Mr. Benson is said to have left her husband: about that time, going to ‘Fargo. She had claimed, it is said, that he showed ‘her no affection. She still cling to hérsaffection for him; apparently, and is said to have called him repeatedly on. the long-distance telephone. She returned to Bismarck and joined her husband again after a time, it is said. > Mrs. Benson kept -the door locked, according to neighbors. The grocery or butcher boy, even ‘Benson himself, —could gain entrance only, by knock ing on her door, they say. One of the neighbors said sha had hardly spoken to Mrs. Benson in seven years. The woman seemed not to desire to he cn mtimate terms with her neighbors. Both Benson and Mrs, Benson are seid to be natives of Sweden. A cording to a relative, Mrs. Benson came to North Dakota about 14 years ago, after having lived in New York for several years. — i .) | Awakened ‘by Shots > ; — Mrs, Bessie Murphy. living next door to the Benson “ghost house,’ was one of the first people awaken ed bythe trouble. She was, sleeping ix a front room, probably 15 feet from the Benson home. A ‘There were three shots,” she said. “They seemed muffled, and sounded) like they might be in the next = ai 1 thought someone might be shoot- ing a dog. In a little bit I heard groaning, and then a man came down and soon a policeman the street, came up.” An unusual incident which happen- yesterday noon was related by urphy, She was sitting on the ith another waiting for an au- tomobile. A man came up to them }. and asked: “Has there been any trouble in this block?” He looked at them with piercing eyes. An unusual look in his face drew the attention of both. The ques- tion was rather startling and the answer apparently made the man fear, he had offended. He ¢ame back and} apologized.

My nerves were in terrible condition, and at times I would become so nervous va dizay I would fall in a faint. Why, upon one occasion I fell to the floo: ui. une ur these spells and lay there erfectly unconscious for hours be- fore anyone found me. I tried many treatments and medicines without getting any relief and had just rbout given up hope of ever find- ing anything to help me, so you caa imagine my surprise when ‘I com- menced to improve almost as soon as I began taking Tania “Well, ,I continued taking it until today | am entirely rid of my stom- ach trouble and can eat j fectly.

Benson took a great pride in his lawn, and sprin- «led it almost religiously. He also rent the grounds neat, and the house had been painted white. Benson was a cement worked and had also learned the brick-laying ‘rade, “Mrs. ‘Roberts said. "Friends Surpised A ° > Many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Benson expressed surprise at the tragedy of early today. “I knew them both well,” said Dun- can McGillis, “and they always were the: salt of the earth to me.” Both of ‘them were thrifty and had worked hard to accumulate their mo- dest wealth, according to friends. Many friends believed them alway to have been a happy couple. Mr. Benson was considered an excellent man at his trade, and Mrs. Berso: was said to be a highly intelligent woman.
