T. Roy Long, age 42, died in a local clinic here Wednesday
afternoon from gunshot wounds allegedly inflicted by his wife, Mrs.

on Mr. Long when he attempted to enter her room by forcing the door

his work as foreman of a road crew for the Louisiana Highway
Commission.

of the Grand Jury that convenes March 7.
