Woman Faces Murder Charge Roseburg (U.R) Thirty-nlne-year-old Eva Canfield Friday faced second degree murder charges in the shotgun slaying of her husband. Mrs. Canfield, who admitted shooting her husband, Virgil Harris Canfield, at their home near Idlewild, 22 miles north of here Wednesday, wept as she heard Judge A. J. Geddcj read the charges filed by District At torney Robert Stults. Date for preliminary hearing will be set after Mrs. Canfield has obtained counsel. An attor ney will probably be appointed by the court to handle the de fense, since Mrs. Canfield has advised the district attorney that she has no funds to pay attorney fees. The 37-year-old Canfield died Wednesday night at Douglas Community hospital here, about three hours after he was hit in the stomach by the shotgun blast. .
