Irritated by a long quarrel over his proposal to leave the house, Samuel Coco, 27, late yesterday seized a revolver, police said and shot Mrs. Grace Coco, 24, in the left temple in the three room apartment occupied by the couple.
Coco, who insisted to police he did not know the revolver was loaded, took the wounded woman to Cleveland Clinic Hospital in his coupe, but she died as he was carrying her into the hospital.
Detectives took Coco into custody at the hospital and held him at Central Police Station while they investigated the shooting and Coco's story that he married Grace Coco last March 5th in Vermilion, O., when he already had a wife and one child, they said.
Other occupants of the apartment building where the shooting occurred told police they heard loud quarreling in the first floor rear suite occupied by Coco and Mrs. Grace Coco.
Coco said that Mrs. Coco objected when he wanted to leave the apartment and that an argument ensued.
"Mrs. Coco was sitting on the davenport in the living room", Lieut. Tozzer quoted Coco as saying, "I told her keep quiet or I'll shoot you, I grabbed the gun off the radio and pointed it at her and pulled the trigger, I only meant to scare her, and I didn't know the gun was loaded."
Neighbors heard the shot and then heard Coco shouting "We've got to get outta here" they told police. Coco told Tozzer he started to take his wife to the coupe which was parked in the rear of the apartment. At the kitchen door he remembered he did not have the car keys and helped Mrs. Coco into a chair while he went to look for them.
She got up and staggered to the car. When he reached the hospital Coco's right shoulder was blood stained where her head had rested against him.
Attendants at County Morgue reported that her body showed bruises on the neck and left thigh. Coco denied any struggle had taken place before the shooting. The apartment showed no signs of a struggle when police arrived to inspect it. They found the revolver, one discharged shell in the barrel, lying beside a woman's slipper on the living room floor. Coco was later taken to the apartment to re enact the shooting.
