title: An unsuccessful murder.
abstract: The victim of an attempted murder, who was shot in the head by her husband, survived when the bullet failed to penetrate her skull, apparently because he had scored the bullet twice across its nose and used an outdated power charge. The husband succeeded in killing himself with a second shot.
