good friend of mine and will re
main so; my wife was all I had
but I don’t hold her death against
him.”

told of the tragedy. He later was
held blameless by the jury, which
ruled the shooting was accidental.
Abbott said he mistook Mrs. Col
leen Hudgins. 22, for a moose as
she moved through the heavy
brusch on Campbell flats, outside
Anchorage. He said he mistook the
Hudgins’ rifles for antlers,
s Hudgins is accompanying his
wife’s body by plane to her former
home in Helena, Mont.
