KILLING OF IIISBI0 DKtXAREU
IX SELK-DKFK.VSK.
Baaia Reea Woman aya She (hot Her
Male Mkti He Broke Into Room
After Attack la Yard.
HILXSBORO. Or.. Dec. 29. (Special.)
Declaring that she acted in self-defense.
Mrs. ltosa Merlo today told in
court tho story of tho Khooting and
killing of her huuband. Joseph Merlo
at Santa. Rosa. October 4.
The prlKoner's story of her visit to
Portland Just preceding the tragedy
was' identical with that of other wit
nesses. She said that after lea-ing
Portland she went to Beaverton. where
she visited ber children, at the home of
her parents.
Returning to her own homo at 4:30,
nhe said, her husband awoke and,
doubting her story regarding her move
ments, became violent, She said he
pursued her down the stairs and into
tho yard, where he. aided by her step
son and stepdaughter, attacked her.
Sirs. , Merlo said she then fled into
the bouse, locktng the outside door and
also the door to her room. The hus
band, she said, battered down her door,
when she shot him with his own pistol,
which was in tho room.
Oliver Huston, of Portland: Oscar
Linn and H. C Morse, who were hunt-'
