Duncan’s Chances Slim

Atlanta, Feb. 11 – The condition of Policeman James M. Duncan, who was shot by 
his wife Saturday night in a family quarrel was slightly improved last night, 
but the physicians would hold out no hope for his recovery.  Yesterday morning 
he appeared to be conscious at times, and in the afternoon he talked to 
Sergeant Moon, who called to see him.  The patient’s eyes were bandaged and if 
he should recover it is believed he may lose his eyesight.  Duncan may live for 
days or he is liable to die at any time from a sudden collapse, say the 
physicians.

Duncan Dies From Wound

Atlanta, Feb. 17 – Police Officer Duncan, who was shot by his wife Saturday 
night a week ago, died at the Grady hospital this morning.  He began to sink 
rapidly yesterday afternoon and early in the evening the physicians announced 
that he was dying.  The death was reported to the coroner and he will probably 
hold an inquest today, when all the facts in the tragedy may be brought out.  
The case has greatly puzzled the police as much of the evidence is conflicting.
