shortly after eight in the evening, from

her resisting and attempting TO free her
self cut her savagely with dirk, in
flicting twelve v ounds, the injuries from

FORE, THE EMOTIONAL INSANITY
MURDERER, ASSAULTS HIS WIFE WITH
A HATCHET.
ST. LOUIS, June 4.-Joseph II. Fore,
who shot and killed Munson Beach, his
brother-in-law. in August, 1871, and was
some months subsequently tried and ae-
quilted on the ground of emotional in
sanity, made murderous assault on his
wife about one o'clock this evening,
striking her three savage blows on the
head with hatchet, iIfiicting danger
Gus wounds. 1t appears that Fore re-
turned here on Monday last from
Natchez, where he said his grandmother
refused any longer to support him, and
since his arrival has made threats against
his wife. Since their last separa-
ton Mrs. Fore has been employed in a
store on Fourth street, and to-day, in
company with Miss Agnes Donnelly,
was walking up Washington avenue, on
her way to her fathers residence, No.
l42l Christy avenue, when Fore Joined
her and entered into a conversation
about his future prospects. He also
urged her to live with him again, which
she refused to do until he would stop
drinking and settle down to some quiet
and steady mode of life. He then
dropped behind the ladies, but followed
them until after crossing Tenth street. /
He again overlook them and asked his
wife to shake hands with him as a final
farewell. She extended her hand, when
he seized 1t, and drawing her toward
him; pulled hatehet from underneath
his coat and dealt her three heavy blows
on the head, and she fell senseless to the
pavement. Her companion screamed
for help, and Fore dropped the hatchet
and ran. Several men Immediately |
pursued the murderer, and at the corner |
of Ninth street and Washington avenue |
he was caught and taken in custody by |
policemen. Mrs. Fore was carried into
a friends house near by, and surgical |
examination revealed three severe cuts |
on her head, one of which would doubt |
less have proved instantly fatal but for |
= hn saly ,f l,,; u, i'll, Il.
on the top OF her head. She is now in a |
very critical condition, but may possibly /
recover.
LATER.-Mrs. Fore who was assault
ed by her husband to-day, is not so
much injured as was feared, and there /
is every probability of her recovery.
Her wounds are of the scalp only, the
skull being unharmed. Further inves-
tigatiOn of the affair reveals the fact,
that Fore visited the store in which his
wife was engaged early yesterday morn
ing, and endeavOred to exact q promise /
from her that she would live with him /
again, and on her refusal to do so,
he Iseized hold of her and attempted to
draw a hatchet from his pocket to
strike her with, but his design was frus-
trated by those present, and he is now
confined in Jail, playing the insanity
dodge, and is attempting TO make the
officers and inmates Of the prison be-
Iieve he IS Captain Jack, the MOdOc
chief. The affair has created much ex-
element in the city, and sympathy
which was expressed for him ON his trial
a year ago has given place to indigna-
ton, and his speedy trial and punish
ment is demanded by all.
