SHE ACCUSES HER OWN HUSBAND Says He Fired at Her From the Bed----Clark Declares She Shot Herself. A deliberate attempt at murder is alleged to have occurred tn Seattle et an early hour this morning J. B. Clark, the night bar-tender at the Galety saloon, on Third av~ enue south, has been locked up ai police headquarters charged with an assault upon hie wife with intent to kill At 25. m. Dr. Breil Bor phoned to the police station asking that an officer be sent to 1S Maynard avenue, where & woman nam- ed Clark was lying wounded by a pistol ball, having evidently tried to kill herself. Officer Wittiam Meredith and John Cordeet were soem the Ger. and after investigating all of the surroundings, decided to hold uaband of the woman to anewer to an accusation of attempted mur- Dr. Borles, who was called to the house a few minutes after the shooting took place, says that the wom eventually stated to him that Clark had fired the shot that struck her. ‘The story of the affair, as toid by the doctor, ts» as follows: ‘I wae called to the house about 2:00 a. m., the telephone message & woman had attempted to commit suicide, On arrivin, t No, 68 Maynard avenue, I was admitted and directed to an upetairs room. There | found Mra. Clark tying on the floor, with her husband sitting nearby on a chair. Together we lifted the woman and placed her on the bed. 1 then asked Clark if there were any relatives living near. He repited that an aunt of bis wife resided in the city. He fur- ther deciared that the wound had been self-intticted by the woman, but could assign no reason for the act. As soon an I had administered restoratives, I asked ber if she had) attempted to take her own life, and she replied in the affirmative. The hesitating manner in which she spoke, however, aroused my suspicion» eo I said that I would call the police. “‘I want to keep this thing quiet,’ she replied. @nocther doctor must be immediately called, so that we could consult over the matter. I then went down to the telephone, and not only call- ed Dr. F. M. Carroll, but aiso notified the police. “Whe n the officers arrived I communicated my belief to them, and they took Clark Into custody. He was removed from his wife's presence. and I thea had an opportunity ¢ peak privately. At first 1 to her first statement of attempted suicide, but when I told her that her condition was serious, and thet she ought not te die with a lie upon her lips, she replied. “Well, then, Jim shot me." Mrs. Clark then made a statement of the inetd the shooting. She said: ‘I have been In the bit of going to meet my husband every morning, but lately he bas been abusing me on the street and yesterday I told him that it would be the last time that I would come. We took « hack home. He retired to bed Immediately. I was Standing at the foot of the bed, and he then recommenced his abuse. At length he made a threat to kili me. 1 turned and faced him, saying ‘You wouldn't do that. would you, Jim? “He muttered something in reply, and, picking up my revolver, which Iay on a stand near the bed. he fired at me, the bullet striking T fett @ stinging pain, and dropped to the floor. Up to the room. She did all in her power to assist me, and then called the doctor." “This is the woman's statement in full,” continued Dr. Bortes. placed Mre. Clark under the Influence of optates and prepared to probe for the bullet. to determine whether she wi live or die. 1 omitted to at that Mra. a@ home. “She was adopted when only a small child by Mr. and Mra s. R Smith, and it was Mra. Smith to whom Clark referred as the aunt.” A Star reporter saw Clark at the police station this morning, and he made the following statement: “My wife came to the saloon this morn. ing ae usual, to meet me, and I told her that the proprietor, Mr. Smith, was iit, and that she would have to walt awhile. We left for home in @ hack about an hour iater. On arriving at our apartments I retired “When my wife was about half disrobed, she picked up t and sald. ‘What would you think if I took @ shot at myself.” “I told her to put the weapon down and come to bed. Before the words were out of my mouth she pointed the gun at herbreast and fired.” Chief Reed is closely investigating the ease.
