HOT SPRINGS -- His mind impaired after more than two years of affliction, David Clark of Springfield, Mo., this morning shot and killed his wife and then shot himself through the head. The bullet he sent through his head did not prove fatal immediately, but the physicians at the hospital to which he was removed said he would hardly recover. The slain woman was the daughter of Mrs. William Stevens, 9 Hagen street, and about three weeks ago she brought her little children and came home.

• Charlie Williams, 19, of 3200 East Tenth Street was shot fatally about 10:40 p.m. Friday at Ivy's Cafe at Fourth and Bender Streets. The police charged Troy Lee Kellian, 19, of 1107 1/2 Calhoun Street with murder in the shooting. The police said that Willie Williams of Chicago, a cousin of Charlie Williams, told them that he and Williams were going into the cafe, and that Williams talked to another man at the doorway. As they left later, he said, Williams again stopped to talk with the man. He said the man pulled a .22-caliber pistol and hit Williams on the cheek. Then he fired a shot, hitting Williams in the left temple, he said.

CLINTON -- A man who accused a former deputy prosecuting attorney of kidnapping him recanted his statement Tuesday in Van Buren County Circuit Court as part of a plea agreement. "I do not wish to press charges against George Stephens," Darrell McAuley, 28, of Little Rock told a judge Monday. "He has not done anything to me. Any previous statements by me are untrue." A Pulaski County deputy prosecuting attorney said he plans to proceed with the case against Stephens, the former deputy prosecutor, and two codefendants.

• When developer John Gaudin sought to help reshape North Little Rock's downtown Argenta district into a vibrant residential area, he chose his options carefully, he said. Gaudin, a managing partner with the New Argenta Fund he helped form, began with the nearly completed Argenta Place condominiums at Main Street and Broadway that include retail space on the bottom floor. He said what should go in that space needs to fit the city's desire to revitalize residential life downtown and his own wide-ranging plans to create a livable, walkable neighborhood.
