GIRL BRIDE HELD FOR MURDER;
SAYS MAN ATTACKED HER
Fort Worth, Tex., Feb. 28 Declar
ing she was glad she had murdered
the man who had betrayed her, Mrs.
Katherine Harrison, a 15-year-old
bride, nephew of Mrs. Charles Cul
berson, wife of the senior senator
from Texas, was released with her
husband after they had given bail of
$2,500 each to answer charges of
murder filed against them.
The police say Mrs. Harrison
claimed she shot and killed W. L.
Warren, a hotel proprietor, because
he forcibly wronged her before her
marriage.
Inviting Warren into her automo

country, the police say. At an iso
lated spot she asked Warren to get
out and see if a tire was flat, and she
shot him eight times.
