night, caused by deadly assault made by jea-
Gus young husband-JosephS Fleming stere-

wife, TO whom he had been married but a few

the weapon used by Fleming being pen knife,
with which dangerous wound was inflicted In
the left breast OF his bride. When the family
heard the cutlery they FASTENED to the rooms &C.

found her bleeding freely and faint. She was
taken to the Office Of DR.. Naylor, where medical

TO the house OF relative, No. 25 street. The
police soon afterwards arrested Fleming In the

police station to give himself up when arrested.
