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."
