says:
ION Saturday, while sitting with his wife, in
company with members of the family, without
warning or sign of any character he seized her
and inflicted frightful cash upon her throat
with pocke;-knite. She attempted to escape,
but he rushed after her and succeeded in Infilc-
ting two other cuts. She staggered out OF the
house and fell in the yard. His attention was
then arrested b. the children of his brother, DIR.
Lambeth. and he made an attempt TO seize them,
but was thwarled by 4 negro woman, who threw
them over the paling. He then made at his un-
Gle, Mr. Bingham, but, he escaping, the murder
Gus but unconscious maniac returned to the spot
where his wife lay and tore the bloody knife
| across his own throat-faling and dying almost
instantly. 1t is believed that while engaged in
the struggle with lis wife he inflicted one or two
cuts upon his own throat. His mother to shield
his wife, received an accidental cash OH the hand
"Dr. Murrcl was soon in attendance, and sue
