Brother Testifies. Accounts of the shooting;. and of the character of Runnings which resulted in the return of an "accidental death by shooting" verdict were given by C.-W. Ihle, of Cleghorn; Gordon. Heaney of Heriden, 34 year old brother of the slain woman; Roy Lamont,Meriden pharmacist; Carl Johnson and,,Albert Sanny both of Meriden, neighbors of the Runnings family. Without exception the five men testified before Dr. C. F. Quinn,county coroner, and his jury composed, of C. B. Headley, Al Popma and P.A. Swanson, all of Cherokee, that the couple had been "a loving Husband and-wife" and "good parents." The brother told how he visited his sister-early Monday-afternoon while her husband was in Meriden; where he had taken Mrs. Runnings continued on page 10 Transcript - continued from page one mother, Mrs. M. Heaney. He said his sister had been happily married for 14 years and that she seemed contented when he last saw her. Johnson, Sanny and Lamont each told of their arrivals at the Runnings home, soon after the tragedy occurred. All said Mrs. Runnings prostrate body Was lying, face down, in a. pool of blood in the dining room, and that Mr. Runnings was beside her "crying broken heartedly. The children were also crying and excited, testimony showed. Johnson said both Mr. and Mrs. Runnings came from good families and that there had been no indications of trouble in all their married life. Dr. Ihle testified that he thought Mrs. Runnings probably died of internal hemmorhage and from shock, which caused a "ghastly,unnatural expression" to replace "the happy and jovial" countenance usually in evidence. Mrs Runnings had a large gunshot wound under her left breast and a two inch gash on her chin caused by her fall. Evidence presented showed that the Runnings family had had trouble with a cat, and that Runnings had borrowed a gun from his brother-in-law. Soon after Wardie,13 year old son of the couple who was oldest of three children, arrived home from school, Runnings and his son started toward the barn to kill the cat. As they went through the kitchen, Runnings is said to have dropped his glove. He stooped to pick it up and the gun, which he had thought was empty and must be loaded outside, went off, striking his wife,who was near the kitchen stove when the shooting occurred. Using the nickname familiar to her husband, Mrs. Runnings cried, "Oh, buns," and dropped to the floor. She was taken to the dining room and in a few minutes was dead.
