SHOOTS HUSBAND AND KILLS SELF
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23.—Investigating the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Parsons here today, police declared Mrs. Parsons evidently pumped seven or eight shots into her husband's body and then killed herself.
Mrs. Parsons was found dead and beside her body the husband lay gasping in a pool of blood dying shortly after his removal to a hospital.
Mrs. Elizabeth Katherine Parsons, 27, the wife, mother of three children was found dead in the bath room of the Parsons home, a bullet thru her brain. Beside her still alive, was Parsous, riddled with bullets. He died a short time after he was found without making a statement.
Two guns were found in the bathroom, police said, indicating the couple had engaged in a duel. They said it was possible the women had shot her husband and then killed herself or shot him and while struggling with him for possession of her gun had been killed.
Mrs. Parsons had been living with her bachelor brother since last May and her suit for divorce was to have been heard Monday.
Police believe she obtained one or two guns and then went to the Parsons home and opened fire on her husband.
A note left to her three children, Lucille and Lillian, twins, and Thelma, said:
"Dear girls—Mother is too weak—the way Al beat me and knocked me about. The gun I got myself. No one else is to blame for anything. No one knows anything either. Sell everything you can and pay the bills. I have done all I can." Love from—Mother."
According to police the Parsons

D. M. Jacobs, 46, miner, was fatally wounded at the door of his home and his daughter, Leona Nourdaine, 19, was shot dead as she telephoned police her husband Hert Nourdaine, 27, had "come to kill all of us." Nourdaine fired a bullet thru his brain and fell across the body of his wife.
According to information given the coroner, Nourdaine, also a coal miner, had told friends earlier in the day he intended to kill his wife "and end it all."
He was said to have become desperate following notification that his wife had brought suit for divorce on grounds of cruelty and had gone to her father's home to live.
Jacobs died on the operating table in a hospital.

BISCHOFF HINTS AT CONSPIRACY
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 23.—Armed with extradition papers Chicago detectives were expected to arrive here Sunday to return to the eastern city Raymond J. Bischoff, alleged head of a $2,000,-000 oil swindle gang, who was arrested in his home here yesterday after a three years search. Bischoff will probably be returned to Chicago immediately as he has announced he would not fight extradition.
Bischoff denied he was guilty of any wrong doing and histed at a conspiracy against him. He said:
"I was given some money and told to get out of town by high officials."
Bischoff also claimed he was the victim of circumstances and was the heaviest loser in the huge financial crash of the apparently successful R. J. Bischoff and Co.
"I can't make good any losses because I haven't the money and I was a heavy loser," he said.
