EARLIER REPORTS
A family argument in Winston-

Mrs. Dula is not expected to
live, police said. Hospital attach

right breast and through the
stomach.
Richard Dula, who ran out the
back door of the house and to
the next door neighbor to call an
ambulance, telling the neighbors
he had been “shot three times,’’
was in a serious condition. Hos
pital attaches said the boy was
shot only twice, under the right
arm and in the left side, hear the
belt line.
Mr. and Mrs. Dula are former
residents of Wilkes county and
barf'becn making-their-home In
Winston-Salem for several years.
Mr. Dula was reared in the Fer
guson community and Mrs. Dula
is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Will Howell, of Moravian Falls.
Dula Jailed
L. C. Dula was jailed without
bond shortly after the shooting,
charred with assault with intent
to kill. He had attempted suicide
by cutting his throat, officers

e; .isidered serious.

I mother two times just below the
breast.
Neighbors Heard Shot-s
Neighbors hea'd the shots, but
said they thought they were the
backfire of the Dula automobile.
“I heard five shots,” one wom
an said, "but I thought it was
Mr. Dula starting his machine. It
sometimes makes noises like
that.”
She said she didn’t think any
thing more about it until the
wounded boy came for help.
Richard Dula gave no definite
reason for the shooting, but
neighbors and police attributed it
to a family argument.
While he was waiting for an
ambulance, the wounded boy said
that there had been several fuss
es before, and that “one time he
(Mr. Dula) drew a gun on'me.”
