He said, according to authorities, that he married Lorraine Gloise and lived with her five years. They had three children, two of whom are living. Last March he became estranged from his second wife. On May 15, he went to his wife's home with a revolver and in a struggle with his wife the gun discharged. Seeing his wife and small daughter drop, Jennings fled, believing one of them dead.
