The woman said that after she changed her dress, she returned to the sitting room in which she had left Mina Harris to find her friend with & revolver in her hand and acting queerly, Thege had been two guns on a dresser, she said. When Miss Harris pointed the gun at her and refused to lower it, she said, she attempted to wrest it from her. Mrz, Askew said that after a strug- gle she reached the other weapon and shot three times. Then she ran downstairs, informed her husband, red to police. Talks Incoherently At the hospital, Miss Harris talk- ed incoherently and cricd out she had shot herself and that she “loved Blanch.” One bullet was lodged in her lung and another appeared to have cut an artery. Mrs, Askew was to be arraigned in city court today. It was thought probable that she would be given a continuance pending outcome of the victim's injuries and the investiga- tion by police.
