HUSBAND’S MISTAKE
Wife Critically Wounded By Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. (Received April 19, 12.30 a.m.) New York, April 18. A message from Santa Cruz, California, states that Allan Boggs, aged 52, a retired army officer, on returning home early in the morning, found a note stating that his wife had gone to spend the night with a friend. Boggs, fearing that she was unfaithful, took a revolver, forced his way into the friend’s house, and found his wife in a bedroom occupying a bed. In another bed there was what appeared to be a man’s form. Boggs shot, critically wounding his wife, and their own 12-year-old son, Denny, ran screaming from the other bed.
Boggs unsuccessfully attempted to commit suicide.
