Description
Prior to the shooting a drinking party had been going on and Mrs. Little and some of the others had taken several drinks. Some one suggested that more liquor was needed and Mrs. Little offered to go after it. It was also suggested that she take a pistol for protection. Whereupon she went into another room and obtained her husbands pistol. After securing the pistol she returned to the room where her husband and the others were and she asked her husband to "float a check," to pay for the liquor she intended to purchase. A blank check was not available and she became infuriated and cursed and abused her husband and menaced him with the pistol. It was taken from her by one of those present and upon the direction of her husband who insisted that she would not shoot, the pistol was returned to her. She was still angry and continued to curse and threaten her husband. He again told her that she would not shoot, whereupon she shot him and he died the next day from the wound. After he had fallen to the floor he asked his wife why she had shot him. There is no dispute about the facts narrated.
