Mrs. Betty Collison Crabb, 19, bride of five weeks, was found shot to death early Tuesday in the home of her banker-father in law about two hours after she and her husband returned from a party given in their honor. Dr.

Nelson Wright of Pekin Tazewell county coroner, said J. Willis Crabb, father of the young woman husband, James, 24, told him the bride shot herself. He said a .45 caliber revolver was found beside the body on the floor of the newlyweds bedroom. A bullet en tered her right breast, it was re ported. The young woman, who was married Jan.

22, was the daughter of Glenn Collison, assistant to the president of the Champaign News-Gazette newspaper publisher. She met Mr. Crabb while the latter attended the University of Illinois for one year. The bride was a student at Champaign high school. Hears Shot Fired.

Dr. Wright said the elder Crabb, president of the Tazewell County National bank, told him he was in bed when the young couple returned from the "welcome" party arranged in their honor at the home of Mrs. S. R. Kemp.

Dr. Wright quoted the elder Crabb as saying he heard a shot and his son rushed into his bedroom crying, "Betty shot herself." Both men went to the newlyweds' room and found the body, the banker continued. "My son always kept the gun in the bedroom, loaded," the coroner quoted the elder Crabb as saying. Returning to her own home shortly after the gay party Tuesday morning, Mrs. Crabb complained to her young husband that she was suffering from a severe headache, he said.

He left his wife's bedroom to get her eome medicine, and while he was out of the room heard a shot fired. Running back into his wife's room, he found her lying across the bed. An autopsy was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon at the Hoghton funeral home, Coroner Wright said. The inquest will not be held for several days, he declared. Officer Called.

One angle of the case which officials refused to discuss was the fact that R. T. Burbidge, village policeman, was called to the Crabb house before the shooting took place. "I was called about 12 o'clock by Mr. Crabb, J.

W. Crabb," Mr. Burbidge said. "I think it was about 12; I was asleep at the time he called. "Yes.

I went out to the house after I talked with him. Yes, before the shooting," the officer said. "I can't tell you any more until after the coroner's jury meets. Don't ask me any more questions, I won't answer them. The coroner's jury handles things like that I won't tell you any more than I'll tell anyone else." When asked if he knows the time of the inquest, Burbidge answered "this evening, I think." "They were in the best of spirits at my party," Mrs.

Kemp said, "just like newl; -veds." Mr. and Mrs. Kemp live in a palatial farm house just outside of Delavan. James W. Crabb was graduated from New Mexico Military institute in June, 1936, and went one year to the University of Illinois.

His mother, Mrs. Elizabeth M. Crabb resides in Bloomington, as does his grandmother, Mrs. George Monroe. A brother, Dan, attends Bloomington high school.

The shooting took place- in the palatial home of Warren W. Crabb, president of the Tazewell County National bank, in Delavan, where the elder Crabb and his two minor eons, Dan and Harry, were held cap tive five years ago while four bandits ransacked the bank.
