MORTALLY WOUNDED
MUNSEY L. VAUGHN OF FORT WORTH SHOT AT LAWTON.
FATHER OF DIVORCED WIFE
SHOT HIM BECAUSE HE WENT TO SEE HER.
Another Party Mixed Up in the Affair Is Arrested With Ridley, Who Did the
Shooting—
Vaughn of a Good Family.
Lawton, Okla., Nov. 25.—Munsey L. Vaughan, of Fort Worth, was shot and
mortally
wounded this afternoon by M.M. Ridley of Duncan. The shooting was done with
a .38-
calibre Colts revolver and the ball entered the stomach, ranging downward
and coming
out near the spinal column. A man named Tucker was in some way connected
with the
affair, having disappeared immediately through the back door. Officers have
both Ridley
and Tucker in jail.
Vaughan is twenty-one years of age. He married the daughter of Ridley three
years ago.
They lived together but twenty days. A week ago a divorce was granted
Vaughan at
Ryan, but despite the woman's ways Vaughan came here last night to see her.
Ridley
threatened his life, and as Vaughan was bidding her goodbye today Ridley
fired the fatal
shot. Witnesses state that Walter Tucker, a "pal" of Ridley's dropped a
knife beside
Vaughan this evening and asked for a statement.
"I was shot by Bill Ridley," he said.
"Who is Bill Ridley?"
"He is my father-in-law."
Vaughan is growing weaker this evening and the physicians entertain little
hopes for his
recovery. Vaughan is well connected. He is a brother-in-law of Judge E.B. Perkins of Dallas.
