Watts
At a poolroom in Watts (where, it is said, liquor is sold without a license), Mr. H. E. Welch became involved in a domestic disagreement with his wife Myrtle. Accordingly, she beat him with a pool cue and then shot him twice in the head. “I”™m used to being shot at,” said Mr. Welch later this evening while being attended to at Receiving Hospital. “My wife has a lot of disorderly friends and the poolroom is full of these nowadays. The gun with which she shot me was in my pocket and she took it from me.”
