CHRISTMAS TRAGEDY
A YOUNG WIFE SHOT. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, Dec. Hi. There was a shocking Christmas tragedy at Hull. While Airs Fox was trimming a Christmas tree, her young husband’s sporting gun went off, killing her. It seems that Fox, whom the police have detained, was trying to see if a cartridge would fit the gun, prior to going out duck shooting. He closed the breech and the cartridge exploded, the pellets entering his wife’s body. She died in three minutes.
