Noticing several household items disturbed upon returning to her home near Seaford, Del., Mrs. George Mortimer stepped outside to await her husband. After he arrived and had taken up a .22 rifle, they searched the house and discovered a would-be burglar hiding under a bed. Ordered to leave, the intruder instead lunged at the woman, but was stopped when Mortimer shot him in the leg.
