the case waa postponed indefi
nitely because the victim had not

from her oral statements:
For more than a ! month she
had planned to kill Coff man. har

t Jam. as It did in a previous
attempt, and buying : leaden bul

downtown crowds, i i ; - -v '
This morning she waited In a
beauty ahop for Coff man. He
came along with a woman, whom
police did not immediately Iden
tify, and Miss Maddox followed.
She said she stepped p behlad
him. and within tiT feet began
firing. !
"She stood over him, firing into
him. said Xye-Wltaess George
Lawtoa who was sitting about 20
feet away. lle was trying to
hold . himself np with ' one hand
and hollering and pleadT&g for

Roger B. Maddox. assistant bank
cashier, said she took; precautions
against hitting Innocent bystand

"Somebody told' rae' that steel

they hit the pavement, so I
bought lead bullets.'
When they told her Coffmaa

TJTt were close friends until he
took me to that gravel pit and
tried to kill me," she added.
Coffman waa the son of David
O. Coffman. chief of a federal
bureau here.
When she was in the hospital
recovering from her stab wounds.
he had sent her a poetic card
titled "a prayer for one who Is
ill."
After today's shooting Miss
Maddox hand e bystander an en
velope, saying "here's a note
was going to give him. Ton can
giro It to him now." Inside w
another poem, her own, ending
"may God have mercy on ns

On May 20 Coffman walk ad
into the sheriff's office and said:
"I think I have Just killed a wom
an." Subsequent investigation
disclosed Miss Maddox had been
stabbed several times with an lea
pick.

was a result of her refusal to go
to California with Coffman.
The girl then related she had

home. Instead, she said, he

ped the ear near a gravel pit.
Coffman walked around to her
side of the car. Mias Maddox re
lated aad atabbed her aeveral
times after saying "if I wouldn't

Astronomers Scan
Sky for Eclipse
Rings of Saturn-Will Blot
Out Light of Star
Begins at 7:17
Amateur astronomers in Salem
will spend Friday night watching
for a rarely-observed phenomenon
In the sky, the eclipsing of a star
br tho rings of the planet Saturn,
weather permitting.
Calling attention to tho lm
pending occurrence, B. L. Brad
ley, Salem owner of one of the
most elaborate home-built ama
teur observatories In tho country,
predicted the star, known only
as no plus f degrees 259," would
be first obscured by the body of
the planet at 7:17 p. m., would
reappear between Saturn and its
Inner ring af 9:25, would later
bo obscured by the rings and fi
nally emerge at 10: 2 p. m. as
the planet continued Its path in
to the western sky.
The number of observations of
such a phenomenon on record Is
so small that amateur astrono
mers are being advised to pay
unusually close attention to tho
impending eclipse, . which may
contribute to astronomy's knowl
edge of the precise position of
Saturn and tho nature of its
rings, according; to Bradley.
Saturn will be visible to the
naked eye as a bright object di
rectly In the south in the con
stellation of Places and about CO
degrees high. Tho star, however.
may be seen only through a tele
scope.

by President Roosevelt as he officiated at the cornerstone laying- of

cate he does not plan to run In 1940.
