----
Charged with assaulting and shooting her husband, Stanley, with intent to kill, Mrs. Nancy Hyson, 38 years old, 1211 West Forty-second street, today was dismissed by Magistrate William J. Stocksdale, in the Northern Police Court, when her husband refused to prosecute. Both husband and wife appeared before the magistrate.

And when the husband refused to press the charge, the magistrate dismissed it for lack of evidence.
--
Police Blame Quarrel
--
Police said the shooting occurred while Hyson, who is 42 years old, was seated at the breakfast table in the kitchen of the Hyson home. It was the result, the police were told, of an argument between the husband and wife over a fishing trip which he took three days ago. Police were sent to the house in response to half a dozen telephone calls received at the Northern Police Station stating that shots had been heard from the Hyson home. Patrolmen Raymond Tarr and William Davenport, crew of radio car No. 43, were the first officers to arrive.

Lip Is Cut
--
They said they found Hyson seated on a chair in the kitchen, dabbing a handkerchief at a cut across his right lip. Mrs. Hyson was also in the kitchen, sobbing, they said. "Everything's all right no trouble," the officers quoted Hyson as saying. Questioning revealed, however, that the husband and wife had had an argument as he was eating his breakfast, the police said. Mrs. Hyson, they said, had gone to a buffet in an adjoining room, taken a .32-caliber revolver from a drawer and fired three shots at her husband. One bullet cut his upper lip, they said. While Tarr and Davenport took Mrs. Hyson to the Northern Police Station, where she was placed in a detention room for a time and then questioned. Sergt. William Cramer and Lieut. Christian Butt took her husband to the Union Memorial Hospital to be treated for the cut on his upper lip.
