Mrs. Smell

Once while Mrs. Smell was struggling to
null him away from his devilish work, he
missed his victim, and striking the window
sill, broke il in two, so severe was the blow.
The body of
THE BLEEDING WOMAN
was carried into the front adjoining room
and Drs Blackledge and Dempsey called in.
Alter moments examination they said she
could not live but an hour or so. The head
WAS beaten so that with each gasp or BREATH
5 the blood flowed from the mouth OF The I'm
conscious woman. Barely three hours alter
the deed sshe died, never having re-
,sEarned to consciousness during that space
of time. When Monroe arrived at the City
Court be was placed in the prisoners dock,
and had the stoical Indifferent appearance
that, when seen in man who has done
some desperate deed, makes one shudder-
The notice of the death Of the woman had
not been received when he was called up
f7sfore the mayor and consequently
rs was bound over to await the results of
the Injuries, the amount of the bond being
yDlaced at s., 900. He was placed in the
county Jail. A reporter for the News was
the FIRST TO carry the intelligence 70 Mon
roe of the death of his wife, and the reporter
tells
HOW HE RECEIVED THE WORD OF HER DEATH
as follows: He received the news with some
show of feeling, saying, "I'm sorry; do you
think they'll let me see herr" negative
being given by the jailor. he replied, Love
done this; / loved her so well l couldn't
live without her." And then he further
continued, 81 suppose dey'n hang me for
this. and it's all right, but won't they do
something with John Martin? Has the
cause of me and my wife getting into this
scrape, and we wouldn't be where We are II
81 hadn't been for him." Several times be
reiterated. ssShe's dead, is she?" dead for a
fact? "dead?' "desd?" and once or tw CO
the tears swelled into his eyes, but the emo
fjou shown was slight" Several months ago
Monroe bscame jealous of Jonah Martin,
hid sa.rier. aud one night when bs went to
i,iz home on ColufD bia street, be bad quarrel
with lis wife aud she cut him with razor.
He urt,c lainIs that jonah Martin WAS IN the
house at the time, and that when ne went
into the room Jonah was standing with his
arms around Sarah. Tho colored people
who are acquainted with the facts say this
Il not so. and that Sarah proved IL to be I'M
true in the police court, and thereby es-
cared from the charge of assault and battery
