Mrs. Moseley was 22 years old. She and her husband had been separated for two months and had filed suit for divorce on statutory grounds on Saturday, Moseley's lawyer stated yesterday morning. The dead woman had made an attempt to adjust her difficulties with her husband, but he declined to take her back, according to the story as told by Chief of Police Clarence Campbell, brother-in-law of Mrs. Moseley.
Two months ago Mr. and Mrs. Moseley were separated. She went away to Danville. Sunday, a week ago, she returned to Newport News going to the home of her mother, Mrs. Clay. Last Saturday morning she sent Officer Moseley a note, saying she wished to see him on important business. he consulted his lawyer, S. H. Edwards, and was advised to go to see her.
Shortly after the separation his lawyer had filed suit for a divorce, on statutory grounds.
When the officer arrived at the Clay home, Mrs. Moseley met him and asked him to forgive her and take her back. He declined. She asked that he look to the comfort of her little girl by a former marriage, if anything should happen to her, Mrs. Moseley. He agreed to that. Then she went out of the room to get his fountain pen, and came back with the pen and pistol.
He was not looking at her. She knelt by his side, but he did not look around. Then she fired.
The bullet pierced her right lung and passed through the body, halting just under the skin. Doctors were called in. They decided they couldn't move her to the hospital. She was treated at home, but not successfully.
Acting Coroner Clements made a probe of the affair yesterday morning at Caffee's funeral parlors. He questioned C. M. Campbell and Mr. Moseley. His decision was she died of her own hand. An inquest was believed unnecessary.
