The daughter, Mary Alice Stegmaier, 32, divorced wife of a Wilkes Barre brewer, was not seriously hurt.

Worried by Money Mrs, Stegmaier told State police her father had been worried by money matters. She said her father first shot her mother, who was clearing away the dinner dishes on the cook's day off, and then turned the weapon on her after she screamed. Mrs. Stagmaier fled from the house, her shoulder broken by a bullet. Mrs.

Field was the daughter of the late Frank Jackson, one of the managers of the old Jackson and Wooelin Manufacturing Company, which later became the American Car and Foundry Company.

July 19. A 40 year old unidentified man, his right arm badly wounded and suffering from shots in the right foot and body, was under guard in a hospital here today suspected of being the stranger who fatally wounded Henry Lee, 40, farmer, Bucks county, in Fulton county, just across the Potomac from Berkeley Springs, W. Va, Sunday night.

Pennsylvania police were confident he was the man sought, but the prisoner refused to give any information. Two neighbors of Lee identified the man as having been at their homes, one a half hour before the Lee shooting, the other the following morning. The stranger was shot into submission by officers in the mountains near Berkeley Springs at noon Tuesday after he had fired half a dozen times at a posse surrounding him. Officers' shots crippled his right arm. He tried ineffectually to use the left.

Powerless, he was taken into custody. Officers took from him two guns. One of them used shells, they said, that contained shot of the same type found in Lee's body. The man was trailed by Pennsylvania State Police and Fulton county peace officers across the mountains to the Potomac near Sir John's Run yesterday. There they found he had waded the river.

West Virginia state and county police were called and tracked him to the mountains, where he was cornered. They rushed him to a hospital here when they found he had been wounded. Hospital attendants here think his wounds not serious. Pennsylvania officers said they trailed him largely through the sloughed off shoes he wore and through persons who had seen him.
