COLEVILLE (COLVILLE), WASH, JULY 21 - James E. Miles, a young man recently married to a girl of 18, this morning shot his wife through the heart and she died the next moment, her arms clinging about his neck. The shooting appears to have been purely accidental.
Miles was about to start on a fishing trip and had taken out his hammerless revolver to carry with him. He says he was looking over her chair talking to her and must have pressed the trigger unconsciously, for there was a sudden report, and the next instant she was clinging to him. He did not know she was shot until he saw blood trickling from her bosom. by the time he had carried her to the bed she was dead.
Miles was crazed by the accident. He rushed into the street like a mad man and rushed back into the house, being followed by passers-by. A close watch was put on him on to prevent him taking his own life. Miles is 21 years old, in comfortable circumstances, and the couple had been one the happiest in the community.
