THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE ; WOMAN CHARGED WITH SLATING GOES ON TRIAL I Defendant' Admits Killing Her Snp . posed Husband But ..Says It Was * Not Intentional. Monroe, Jan. 25.—At 2 o'clock this afternoon in mi per ion court in Union county, Bertha Case, alias Bertha Fowler, went on trial for her life for shooting and killing Frank Fowler with whim she hnd been liv ing for three years as man and wife, on his large farm six miles south west of Monroe. The young woman is now 23 years of age and is the mother of one son about three years old and a s posthumous daughter, six months old. Deeensed was a world war [veteran and n man whose integrity was not questioned. He was honest and upright in all his business deal ings and was pushing ahead in the a accumulation of wealth. His relatives and neighbors had up to the time of the killing, thought that the couple were legally man and wife. History of Shooting. ) On the morning of the ninth of ) last February, Frank Fowler was - carried to the Ellen Fitzgerald hos pital with a bulls' hole through his , stomach as a result of a pistol fired by Bertha, his supi>osed wife. At the ; hospital Fowler told his relatives ‘ the whole secret of how he had been living and how he had received the wound which he said would prove his death. He asked that tbe woman with whom he hnd been living bo. not prosecuted- He made his will lenving his entire estate to his two year-old son by Ber'ha Case. *lt de veloped that he had been married o Miss Etta Bagwell with whom he had not lived for some time and from whom he hnd secured a di vorce three months prior to the killing. Other Wife. From newspaper accounts of the killing his legal wife learned that she had been divorced and brought suit to have the proceedings set aside. She won the case and comes in for her share of the estate of the dead man. The Testimony. The first witness on the stand was Will Fowler, brother of the deceased. He testified that on the morning of the killing he went over to Frank's house to help him work. When t.c arrived they were eating breakfast and that he had sat down by the fire. Frank Fowler hnd the baby on his lap- Bertha remarked that'she threw a shoe at Frank last night. He replied, "you didn't hit me." Frank addressing Bertha said "I threw a shoe at you last night." she replied, "yes but you didn't hit me.” Bertha then asked Will Fowler if he saw that woman's short dress, referring to a trip which had been made to South Carolina. Frank said “oh I eare nothing about that." Bertha then began to abuse Frank for al leged attentions to other women and to curse him in the vilest of terms. He insisted that she hush, and she struck hm with the churn dasher. A scuffle followed in which the witiiMW said Frank “for the most part held the fighting woman." but spanked her cheek one time. When the suf fle had quieted, Frank said to his brother, Well let's go to work, and went to the front room, for his hat. Bertha rushed ahead of him and in stantly on their arrival in tbe room he heard two pistol shots. He wen. toward the room and met Bertha coming out with the gun in her hand. She threatened to shoot him, he said and he said to her. “here take the baby,” he handed her the child and proceeded to find his brother wounded Bertha on Stand. Next on the stand was Bertha Case was not in the least frightened, entirely different in all of its as pects from that told by Will Fowler. Miss Case was not in tne least frightened She set out to relate the affair in an enthusiastic and rttpid manner. She observed the rapid movement of the stenographer's i>en cii, and paused to ask the judge if she was talking too fast. In esentials, Bertha's testimony was that eur.y In the morning of the shooting a mule escaiied the stall and that her sup posed husband whom Hhe called Frank Fowler, had had a lively chase. That while he ,was on the chase, she had eaten her breakfast. That Frank Fowler came in mad and. cursing her. That he cursed the salts which she had prepared tor him. cursed the cold rations, and be gan to feed tbe baby on coffee, and an adult diet, that she protested , that it would ruin the child, and the | responded that it was his and he would feel it what he pleased. That he enrsed her to ugly things, and that she told him he was the same. That a scuffle followed, and that be threatened to kill her, that she went to the front room andthe door was locked. Hhe said he came after her with a razor and she pulled the gun, that she shot in the floor to scare him, and on his further advance she thought she shot to cripple him in the leg, and did not intend to kill 1 him. The testimony of several wit nesses who took the stand after Mias Case was to the effect that she gave on the stand the same evidence which she gave at first on the morn ing of tbe shooting.

A few minutes later I called out to a salesman in the outer office and said. ‘Thank God the boss is gone and won’t be back before tomorrow. I’m going to a show.” I certainly was embarrassed when the boss answered back, “Is that so?” He had returned to the office. My hair being very thin and short. I tied a long switch to it when I sat at the window. Some neighbors who were standing beneath were remark ing about my beautiful locks wten down fell the switch to the street.
