O. Stewart, who did the shooting, ! surrendered himself to Deputy Sheriff | J. L. Mayne at Alviso this morning and is now in the county jail here. The | man who was shot is W. S. Kennedy, who is said to be seriously injured. That he is not dead is due to the fact that a pocketbook in his coat pocket stopped -a bullet that was going! straight to his heart. Another bullet struck him in the groin, inflicting a bad | ‘wound. | Stewart said the trouble originated over Edith Kennedy, the wife of the| man who was shot. Stewart first met, Kennedy and his wife in San Bernardi- | no.. Stewart at that time worked in a| cigar store and Mrs. Kennedy was em- ployed in a restaurant next deor. Ken- nedy was engaged as a car tapper. Mrs. Kennedy soon became enamored of Stewart and Kennedy soon becgme aware of her misconduct. Stewart, about this time, took a trip | back to Ohio. - He returned a few days ago and. yesterday, while walking up Minna street in San Francisco, he met Kennedy. Kennedy stopped him and | brought up the whole family trouble. Kennedy asked Stewart to accompany him to Newark so that he could face Near Newark | ADVERTISEMENTS.
