do you know this book?

In the 70s my partner's ex-father-in-law had a book of bridge stories/
anecdotes which he had hoped to be given when XFIL went to join the
great bridge game in the sky. Sadly it had disappeared.

One story from the 30s, at the height of bridge mania, was about a man
who found himself in court for shooting at his wife  at a bridge
competition. (Non fatally, I assume)  The judge who was also an avid
player, asked what cards they were holding at the time of the offence,
and what the bidding had been.  He was appalled at the wife's poor
bidding which he judged to have provoked her husband and he dismissed
the case.  I know, probably urban myth!

I would like to get hold of a copy of the book for my old fella, for
an "o,no!" birthday, if only to be spared the re-telling of the story
again and again and again.  I might not get such an understanding
judge.
