Jackson went. to a neigh- bor‘s house and telephoned to the police that there was trouble at his house. Then he walked out to meet. the officers, who were hurried over, and gave him- self up. Jackson told them: “it was either myself or her; one or the other had to go.” The police say the man had been quarreling.r with his wife for some time. As Jackson was walking to the telephone from which he reported the killing to the police he passed his wife's father. He bowed and continued on his way as if nothing had happened. -â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-!0â€"-a_._. 27 "0 USES DESTROYED. Conflagralion at St. Raymondâ€"Whole Village Was Threatened.
