Description
It appears that defendant and the victim of the homicide, not formally married, were living together as husband and wife in an established place of abode in Pueblo. The tragedy occurred about 1 oclock in the morning when the two were returning home from visiting night clubs in and about the city of their residence. The gun from which the fatal shot came was kept in the pocket of the door of defendants automobile in which they were riding. As they were nearing home, as defendant testified, deceased took the gun from the pocket and was examining it; that thereupon, he stopped the car and sought to become possessed of the gun; that a struggle ensued in the course of which the gun was accidentally discharged inflicting the wound which in a few days brought death to the woman. Immediately following the shot, defendant drove to their home, only a few doors away, carried the woman into the house and called a physician. Within a few minutes the doctor arrived, when defendant called the police, and in the presence of the doctor told the officers substantially the story he related at the trial, already outlined, and gave them the gun.
