made me suspicious, and I brok« open
the door and found a man's hat >n the
floor. Then I found Elmo under the
bed and pulled him out. We .ought,
but he got away and ran.
"I got the revolver in my ro»m and
followed, my wife trying to hold me
hack. When I got into the yard Elmo
was running up the street. Just as
I aimed my wife threw herself across
the gate, saying, 'I will fool you.' So
by mistake I shot her."
Mrs. Pagani died without traking a
statement. Her husband was booked
