The police were immediately called by Mr. Delaney, foreman at the shops of a local motor company, and the girl was rushed to the county hospital and placed under the care of Dr. J. R. Hansard. She is reported to be in a very critical condition this morning due to intern: a: hemorrhage. The Delaneys were married about a year ago and have had, it is alleged, many marital difficulties which were ended by the husband obtaining a di- the divorce Mrs. Delaney who is of French-Canadian parentage, is said to have been despondent over the separation and it was with the idea of mending affairs that sho went to the room of her recent husband last even- ing. Mr. Delaney says that he was in| bed and sleeping when she came in. ‘When she threatened to take her own life Delaney thought it was an at- tempt to renew conversation and re- quested her to leave him alone. The| shot fully awakened him and he called the police. Delaney was held at tho| police station during the greater part of the night but was permitted to} leave this morning with no charge against him. His former wife ad mitted having done the shooting and ended her statement with the regret that she had not been more accurate vorce here about a week ago.

Bound for the grave of his late chief, the new president let it be known as soon as he stepped aboard his special at» Washington last night that he would not appear on the plat- form of his observation car on the journey to Marion which today holds the sorrowing heart of the nation. Nor will he permit photographers to snap him enroute. At Martinsburg, W. Ve., the first stop, only @ small group of section hands and station employes gathered at midnight to greet their president, who had retired shortly before the station was reached. Cumberland, the next stop, was passed in the dead of the night. Not only Mr. Coolidge but the rest of his party, chief jus- tice Taft, General Pershing, members of congress, governors and ranking officers of the three arms of the army retired soon after leaving the capital. Before retiring Myr. Coolidge re- ceived in his private car, a few sen- ators, including Spencer of Missourt, who dropped in to pay their respects, John T.

Harding, Jr., Mrs. Harding continued today the watchful attention there, still brave and calm. No mark of respect to the mem- ory of the late president escaped her during the early hours. No of- fer of sympathy from her friends was received without a returned act of graciousness. Mrs, Harding re- iterated her thanks whenever a plea that some one be allowed to help was heard but steadfastly kept her grief in quietude, apparent- ly preferring to suffer alone, with- out giving cause for worry to oth- ers, willing though they were, to share her burden, Band Concert Program For This Evening The following program will be played by the American Legion band at the city park at 8 o'clock this evening: March—“Robinson’s Grand En- tree.” (Xing) Foxtrot—‘You Remind me of (Cohan) Belection—"Chimes of | Norman- dy” from the opera by Planquette.

A thing handful seemed the line of those coming from the quiet room around which the sor- rowful thought of all Americans cen- tered today. Thousands must be turned away*in disappointment, <l-| most certainly, although hours still intervened before the simple funeral train was formed.
