Daisy Jiron, 21, the maid, said Gay replied: “I've got to have my money first.” Her story continued: “I noticed Mr. Gay had something under his coat. He kept his hand there. He smelled like liquor. He seemed to be angry.” “Mr. Raynolds came into the kitchen and said: ‘We can settle this without any trouble.”” A moment later a .38-calibre revolver bullet was fired into Mrs. Raynold’s abdomen, while her husband and three daughters, momentarily frozen, watched. Raynolds’ youngest daughter, Kate, 16, hurried to a closet where the Ray- nolds kept a .38-caliber revolver for protection. She returned to the liv- ing room, she said, and her mother, still reeling, grabbed the pistol, aimed 1t close to Gay's temple and fired. District Attorney Owen Marron said he had given little thought to filing charges in view of Gay's precarious condition. MORRIS C.
