In New Hampshire it is only murder
in the second degree for a man to kill his
wife by whipping her with a whipstock,
her with an oX-goad and pound
ing her with a heavy walnut cane. Such
1t least was the verdict in the Kimball
case, which has just been tried. The
only e~Xtenuating circumstances shown
we're that it took the murderer three
hours to complete his task, and that he
compelled to chase his victim all
)ver the house. Had he killed her with
me weapon at a single blow he would
probably have been convicted Of murder
n the first degree.
