"The Kansas City Times" (Missouri) Wednesday, April 18, 1917 A WOMAN TRIED TO SLAY? George E. EATON, whose bloodhounds were used in attempting to trail the persons who shot at Dr. George JENNINGS of Tonganoxie, Kas., Sunday night, believe a man and a woman took part in the shooting. "We found footprints of a man and a woman under the window through which the shots were fired," Mr. EATON said last night. "And two bullets of different caliber were found imbedded in the wall of the room in which Doctor JENNINGS stood." EATON returned with his dogs to the Kansas side last night after the fruitless search. Three shots were fired at Doctor JENNINGS as he stood near a window at the home of a girl friend. None of the shots took effect. Two hours after the shooting Doctor JENNINGS's office was set on fire. The fire not only destroyed the office but two adjoining buildings. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.) johnobrien@kc.rr.com ======================================================
