Mrs. Jack Hogg, age 24, a recent resident of Winnfield, is being held in the

father, Lee Willis, on Sunday, August 22.

According to information given out by Sheriff Neil Thomas, Willis was shot
through the heart during a family quarrel and died almost instantly. The
sheriff said the trouble ... to Willis' alleged abuse of his wife.

Information given the sheriff's office by witnesses stated that Mrs. Hogg's 17
year old brother left home several days ago because of ill treatment accorded
him and his mother and went to live with his sister, Mrs. Hogg.
