BY PISTOL Mrs. Sadie Edington, 36, in County Jail for Twice Shooting John Truax An attempt at murder was made this morning at Huntington Beach by Mrs. Sadie Edington, 36, against John Truax, 45. It was alleged by officers who took the woman to the twenty jail on the charge of making an assault with deadly weapons. Mrs. Edington was operating a small rooming house at 22rd-st and Ocean-ave, Huntington Beach. She was formerly from Detroit. She is not living with her husband. A daughter, 18, twin boys, 15, are living with their father. A daughter, 10, has been living with her mother. Police stated that the woman and Truax formerly lived together for five years at San Francisco, and that he deserted here there while she was in the hospital for 18 months. It was only recently that she heard from him again, it is said. He wrote her a postcard the other day which greatly aroused her jealousy. She stated that he came to Huntington Beach about a week ago. He said that he came there only a day ago. Police say that they started to quarrel this morning about 7 o'clock. Neighbors hearing the disturbance, notified the police. The marshal sent Motorcycle Officer C. E. Worthy and Batrolman Tex Choate, formerly of the Anaheim police force, to the scene of the disturbance. The officers came in at the rear door and found the woman with a gun in her hand. She had apparently fired one shot. She turned the gun onto Choate and forced him to throw up his hands. He tried to talk her out of shooting. She turned and fled into Truax's bedroom and fired two shots at Truax, both taking effect, one in the right arm and the other in the right side. They are flesh wounds and should not prove fatal. The bullet which took effect in the side struck a rib and glanced off. Neither of the bullets remained in the man. Choate then ran around the house expecting her to come out another door, but she didn't. Then the officers entered, and found her scuffling with Truax, who was trying to take a butcher knife away from her. The officers disarmed her. The gun was found to be a 25 automatic. Truax was taken to physicians. It is that the woman was crazed from drink or drugs. She said that she did the shooting because she wanted him to be true to her. FINE HOUSES PLANNED ON BDWY.
