WIFE MURDER CHARGE!

Ralph Gordon Barstow, a twen- ty-four-year-old soldier, of Plea- sant Street, Preston, was acquit- ted at Birmingham Assizes on a charge of murdering his wife. Mary, whom he married at Gretna Green three years ago.-

The couple had stayed at Bir- mingham the night the wife was shot and Barstow was said to have told the police he loaded his rifle to have a shot if any bombers came over. It went off as he was] unloading it.

Mr. Maurice Healy, K.C., pro- secuting, said Barstow's wife had fallen in love with him when she was sixteen: or, even less and it was a love match. When Barstow was called up last April his wife began to go to public houses and became familiar with men,

After a 'gun expert had said the gun might have been fired acci- dentally in the unloading position," Mr. Healy said it would be a great responsibility to ask a jury. for a verdict of guilty.

The jury found Barstow gulity and he was discharged.
