Oregoniao: Crazed with jealousy because her hatband was courting the affections of a woman reputed to be of the lower world, Cora White, wife of James White, of sailor-boarding house fame, at 8:35 o'clock last night shot her husband in the back with a 32-calibre Iver-Johnson re volver, inflicting a wound from which the attending physicians fear the wounded man will not recover. The murder ' was attempted in front of the residence of - Mrs. White's sister, Mrs, Eii Davis, at 328 pine ttrcet, and was witnessed bv F. S. Dunning aud C. R. Collier and, it is thought, by White's moth er and Mrs. Eli Davis, although the latter two deny any knowledge of the an dir. ; . After White was shot the woman for the pleasure of whose company he will probably give bis life enter ed several saloons in the north end, where she laughed and joked about his shooting, and was apparently little concerned in regard to his welfare. She displayed a bruised spot on her face, where, she said, she bad been struck by Mrs. White earlier in the evening, when, in the company of White, she had acci dentally met the wounded man's wife on the street. "It was me to the wco3e," she is quoted as having remarked. It was fully an hour , after the shooting before White was convey ed from the home of Eli Davis, where be had been carried after the shoe ting, to St. Vincent's hospital, wbi rs the attending physicians de cide J that nothing could be done for the wounded man until ionam mat on arrises at the feat of the but "t and discloses its whereabouts. W ite, who had been drinking, was in no condition to make any stat ment. At first, , he stated that the woman had fired twice at him. Lat -, he changed this statement, sayi ig that a man had shot him, and still later he alleged to have fired the shot himself. He refused to tell the name of the woman or of the man implicated in his state ments. . When the shot was fired, Officer Olesner was less than a block dis tant, and hurried to the scene of the attempted murder. "I reached White's side at the same time as Mrs. Davis," said the officer last night. "He was about 50 teet north of the gateway to the Davis home when I r ached him. The first thing I asked him was if he had shot himself, and he an swered, "yes, accidentally.' We car ried him into Davis houee where he said: A .- '. . "I want to see Cora. I guess its all off with me. It was all my fault, anyhow. I caused all the trouble." "I asked Mrs. White who shot her husband," said officer Robeon, "and she replied, 'I'm. the woman.' As she was bending over the prostrate form of her husband as he lay stretched on a lounge, I heard her say to him, 'I only wish it had been me instead of you.' On the way to the police station, in the petrol wagon, Mrs. White would say noth ing. She appeared to be struggling hard from fainting and' seemed powerless to speak. White said he did not want his wife arrested, and repeated the statement that he had shot himself. ' - Mrs. White spent last night in the police station. The position of the wound and other circumstances go to show it would have - been impossible for White to have inflicted the wound upon himself. The ballet hole is in such a part of the back as to render it impossible for a man to discharge a revolver and inflict such a Wound to himself. A powder burned coat proves that the ballet was fired at short range and the clean hole in the coat, as well as in White's back, show that the shot was fired squarely from behind. - When seen last night Mrs. White refused to speak. When question ed she gazed into space as though dated. MrB. White and her sister, Mrs.. Davis, were raised in Clark county, Washington, .where they were well known, being the daugh ters of a prominent farmer named Allen. . :-. ; According to acquaintances of White, who frequent North End resorts, Whits aud the woman who caused the trouble between he and his wife have been : spending their time in riotous living for the past two months. Hack parties at night and sprees of several days duration made the nights memorable, and many of White's friends have en joyed bis generosity while be has has been entertaining the woman who has ruined his home. - : .For Sale. .
