he was willing to comply with the
wishes of Nelson.

hour law vigorously," declared In

GIRL WHO SHOT M'DERMOTT
NOT SORRY FOR ACT
The case of Anna Zippmann Mc
Dermott, who shot Aid. McDermott
in the city hall last night, was con
tinued until Feb. 5, when the girl ap
peared before Judge Prlndiville this
morning.
A charge of assault to kill with a
deadly weapon was placed against
the young woman last night and she
was released early today on bonds
of $3,000, when it became known
that the wound in the left leg was
not serious.
The regular business of the city
council was interrupted last night by
a revolver shot. Spectators flooded
from the gallery out on the third floor
and in front of First Deputy Schuet
tler's office saw McDermott on
the floorwith Miss Zippmann stand
ing ovehlm, gun in hand.
She handed the pistol to Serg't
Cole and was taken into the nearby
office with McDermott.
"I shot him," she said, while the
police awaited the ambulance, "and
it's too bad I didn't shoot higher.
"I have avenged myself," she de
clared. "My baby will be recognized
as the rightful child of McDermott.
This will be a lesson to all of those
who suffer from scoundrels. He
thought he could use me as a play
thing. He knows different now."
"He deserves all he got and more,"
declared the girl's sister, Marie Zipp
man. "He has ruined by sister's life.
"He married her Oct 14, 1912, in
Michigan. Just before Thanksgiving
that year they left together and went
to Michigan. They were married by
a Catholic priest there. The mar
riage license is on record. They got
back shortly afterward and he has
refused to do anything for her sinc6
then."
