Because she believed her husband was about to kill her as she claims he had
written and threatened to do if she did not return to him Mary McCloskey
26, at one o'clock Monday morning shot to death William R. McCloskey,
formerly of Oregon, and later of Madison, as he stood in the rear door of
the John Kessenich home at Waunakee. Mrs. Mary McCloskey, widowed mother of
the slain man, lives on a farm near Waunakee. About twelve years ago the
family resided in Oregon township, near Brooklyn. While living there
McCloskey died. Mrs. McCloskey and children then lived in this village for
a brief period.
