Capt. Ferris of the police force and Deputy Sheriff William A. Kyte, were Summoned when the nature of the af- fair was known, and Mrs. Ackerman was placed under arrest as soon as it was learned that Hoffay could 1ivt live. She showed extreme nervousness on her way to the county jail and passed) an sleepless night. Her husband, Ralph Ackerman, who is a Burlington con- ductor, arrived in Casper this morning at 7 o'clock, and visited his wife in her cell. He made no statement to offi- cers after the visit to his wife, but went to engage legal counsel. M. W.. Purcell has been engaged to defend Mrs. Ackerman. Mrs. Ackerman made a_ clearcut statement to Deputy Sheriff Kyte, mak- ing no attempt to excuse her action, it Wag said this morning. Her defense will probably be that she did not believe the gun was loaded, or that she did hot intend to pull the trigger. The scene at the hospital last night, where Hoffay lay dying, his wife and son at his side, was most pathetic. A statement as to the happenings of the evening was obtained from Hoffay, and this will be introduced in the} hearing) before the coroner’s jury, as well as the testimony of Mrs. Hoffay and@ her son. Mrs, Ackerman was examined by ‘County Attorney; Lowey at his office this morning, but no statement from her will be made public until after her preliminary hearing,“ Mr. Lowey said. The Ackermans are highly respect- ed by friends who know them. Mrs. an impulsive disposition, and hasty temper and her only excuse is that the fiffair occurred in the heat of anger. —e-——___— + If you want your work to be a reai joy follow the line of least resistance in getting it done. 13a eas U.
