Huey Long’s Cousin Slain, Wife Jailed
   SHREVEPORT, La., Feb 16 (AP)—T. Roy Long, 43, cousin of 
the late Huey P. Long and foreman of a State highway 
maintenance crew at Winnfield, died Wednesday of a gunshot 
wound in the head, inflicted by his wife, Mrs. Alma Howell 
Long.
   Mrs. Long surrendered to Sheriff Bryant Sholars of Winn 
Parish and was transferred to the Caddo Parish jail here.  
Scholars said an affidavit signed by Floyd Long, brother of 
the slain man, was filed in his office and charged Mrs. Long 
with willful murder.
   Sheriff Sholars said the woman admitted she shot her 
husband and said she was sorry it happened.
   Sholars said Mrs. Long shot her husband through a door in 
the Longs’ home as Long tried to force his way into her 
bedroom.  The shooting, the Sheriff said Mrs. Long told him, 
grew out of family difficulties and she fired because Long 
was angered and threatened to kill her.
