Poor gun prevents murder of woman in South Butte
Thomas Pennell attacked his wife at 2115 Argyne street aiming to kill her. The old .42 caliber gun jammed after nine attempted discharges, sparing the woman and child. Pennell was captured by Under Sheriff Jack Wyman before he could fetch shells. He faces eye murder charges and is described as jealous and possibly crazy. A separate complaint accuses Spero Beganicich of assaulting his wife and threatening to cut her throat.
