Kinston, May 29—A wild woman shot five times at a man during a row on the outskirts of Kinston on a recent night, and though the target was only two or three feet from her, failed to score a hit. Authorities apparently failed to get a report on the incident, and persons acquainted with the facts took pain to conceal names and motives.
The first shot whirled harmlessly past the man. The second and third passed near enough to make him jump in his tracks. He was afraid to run. The fourth missed him by several feet. Then the angry woman clenched her teeth and grasped her pistol with both hands. She drew a bead and banged away. The bullet struck something seven feet to one side of the man.
Then the gunwoman collapsed in a fit of hysteria.
