              Farmer Kills Wife,
                Shoots Kin
                
              Special to the Free Press
              
              WHITE CLOUD - A Newaygo County
            farmer shot his wife to death and
            critically wounded her brother in
            his farm home near here Thursday
            night.
              Killed by bullet wounds in the
            head and chest was Mrs. ETHEL 
            TOZER, 62.
              Her brother, DARRELL REED, 42,
            who lived a half-mile away, was
            in Gerber Memorial Hospital at
            Fremont with three bullet wounds
            in the chest.
              DAVID TOZER, 63, who reported
            the shootings to the State Police
            Post at Newaygo, first claimed he
            came home and found his wife and
            brother-in-law shot.
              After two hours of questioning
            by State Police and Newaygo County
            Prosecutor JOHN SHEPHERD, TOZER
            confessed.
              SHEPHERD said TOZER refused to
            give a motive.
              He said they got the confession
            after telling TOZER that REED, 
            from his hospital bed, identified
            TOZER as his assailant.
              TOZER was held in the county
            jail at White Cloud.
