TUESDAY, FEB. 19, 1952

By United Press EL PASO, Tex. Feb. 19 — A battery of attorneys for socialite bride Mary Jean Parsons today mapped their strategy on howto defend her against charges that she murdered her sleeping husband. The blue-eyed, 21-year-old bride of six weeks confessed that she shot and killed her 24-year-old husband, Lt. Richard O. Parsons; early Saturday as he lay in bed. © Three letters, one written by Mrs. Parsons apparently after the shooting, another ‘before her marriage to Lt. Parsons Jan. 2, and a third bearing the signature “Jan,” figured heavily in the attorneys’ conferences. All three hinted that Mrs. Parsons was emotionally upset.

Mrs. Parsons spent a quief night in her cell at El Paso County Jail. A small Bible lay

* beside her ‘bed. Yesterday, however, she seemed nervous and paced the floor, Visited by Family “- She was visited through the day by members of her family, prominent in social circles at Tulsa, Okla. Mrs. Parsons: killed her husband with two shots from a revolver after an argument over the financial h€lp she and her husband had received from her family. | : The first note Mrs. Parsons wrote was found in a wastebasket in the couple's El Paso apart- > ment where Mr. Parsons’ body was - discovered.
