by the fact that the elevators ha l driven

Kansas City, June 7. -Leonard W.
Marsh, mule a murderous assault upon
his wife aud daughter, Julia, in the an
teroom, to Justice Shannon’s office in
the Whitney building.
The trouble which culminates in the
•hooting dates back several years, and
embraces a long story of domestic infe-
i llcity. Marsh is of a quarrelsome dis
position, and bitter domestic quarrels
i were not uncommon. In the morning
he assaulted his daughter, who is em
ployed at Bulleue's. Mrs. Marsh, ac
companied by her daughter, then sought
Justice Shannon's court, and there
•wore out a warrant for her husband's
arrest, charging asouilt on the daugh
ter with intent to kill, and another war
rant holding him to keep the peace.

Shannon and Deputy Constable Wilson
were in the courtroom. Both rushed to
the assistance of the women, with Wil

terfere Marsh fired three shots.
The first shot struck Julia Marsh in
the abdomen. The bullet struck her
then corset, turned, and making a slight

two groups, the first coii'Cting of armor
varying in thickness from four to eight
inches, and th * second from eight to 13

from each to determine tin* ballistic
qualities of the two groups. It was
thus shown that s-ineb plates wero
accepted on tli** test of n I in<*!i plate,
