He had been drinking and wanted to fight with somebody. I guess it made him madder when I refused to get out of bed or react to his anger.” Daughter Enters Room During the argument daughter Juni-Malia, 8. entered the room. , “Bob ’said I needed a beating up, which he gave me. Then 11 picked up the letter opener and the tussle went on. I jabbed him j in the shoulder. I thought it would, scare him and make him run away. But it didn’t.” According to police. Crosby was stabbed once in the left shoulder and once in the left forearm. Police Chief Clinton Anderson said the band-leader was treated by the family physician after Crosby related he had been hurt in an automobile accident.

Mrs. Crosby reported she suffered a broken rib, a cut on her forehead, a quarter-inch gash on he shin. She said her husband spent the remainder of the night at his brother Bing’s home. Crosby said the entire incident was "regrettable.” “All I did was take the letter opener away from her, and left the house,” he said. “I never struck her. I never knocked her to the floor I intended no harm, but I had to use force to take the opener away. “I wasn’t badly hurt, but I could have been.” Crosby said he thought their marriage was over.
