Auburn, N. Jan. 10.

(JPy A desperate fugitive shot and wounded himself today after holding a woman hostage for six hours in a cemetery caretaker's house surrounded by 100 policemen. The mustachioed man, whose name police did not know, toppled from a second-floor window. He landed at the feet of a 17-year-old girl who had been traveling with him before she was arrested yesterday. Doctors said the bullet wound was not serious and that the man would live. He gave the name of Daniel Walker, 22, of New Jersey, but told a reporter that was not his real name.

The dramatic series of events began yesterday when Walker fired at a trooper who had stopped him near Syracuse for speeding. Mrs. James Wadsworth, 66, who was held at gun point by Walker throughout the hours he was in her house, cried when he shot himself and said he had been "a Christian" at the end. Throughout her ordeal, Mrs. Wadsworth had talked continuously to Walker and to police and two priests who stood outside appealing to him to leave the house.

Finally, he said, he had to sell his piano, organ and other musical instruments to raise money. He moved his family to Los Angeles a year ago, but conditions got worse, he said. The night of the fatal fight, he admitted, both he and his wife were drinking. The struggle apparently started when she wanted more beer and port wine.

The body of 41-year-old Margaret Kelley was found crammed in a trunk on a vacant lot two weeks after her death last Oct. 13. Kelley pleaded guilty to manslaughter after police reported he and his wife fought over money matters and there was no evidence it was a premeditated killing. "It was not I that killed my wife," Kelley wrote the court in a 15-page appeal for probation, which was denied. "It was a stealthy 'visitor that intruded and stole Peggy's demure wanner, made her sweet tongue viscious, took her from my bed.
