Woman killed by burglar as husband held up at bed
Mrs John Morrison, 23, was shot in bed with a 33 month old child as three masked men invaded their Cumbato home near Pottsville Pa. Morrison, a fireman, was awakened and forced to surrender money on the first floor before being ordered back to bed. He fired at the intruders as they left, but his wife lay dead with a bullet in her temple. Police have no leads as the robber team escapes. Morrison suspects one guard may have known his wife. The couple’s gun club funds, about 75 dollars, were noted.
