M0ntezuma Record: Newsreaehed Moutezu-
ma saturday morning that a serious cutting
-arape had occurred on Mrs. Patrick's place, I
-|.IAE El-uL mites IN the country III WHICH
Monroe Patrick, coiored, stabbed his wife,
from which she died in a few minutes, and
cur John Tyler, also COlOred, severely in the
back uf the head and neck. Monroe stabbed ]
l5s,yifs fust under the left breast, and from
O. post m1rtem examination, held by DR.. En- |
gram, the heart was found TO have been peue- /
rratei ny the blade Of the knife. After re- I
0e.ylnE the stab the woman ran from the I
house. and Monroe then went out TO where 1
John Tyler was and cut him as stated. by I
this time the woman came up to where the I
and told her huGnnnN that he D
had kII dher, and fell over on the ground and /
died. Monroe informed some OF the other I
negro women on the place what he had I
done and Immediately left. John Tyler came \
-1 town and had his wounds dressed by DR.. |
Nlusou. There seems 90 be two versions as to \
the cause Of the trouble. One IS that John 4

shaved himself, and asked for the loan of /
valise from MOuroe's wife, who refused, say /
ing that her husband would kill her If she let /
tie vaIise out. About this time Monroe came [
upon the scene, and the green eyed monster
took possession of him, which caused him to i
commit the act. Another theory Is that Mon
roe was preparing TO 90 to Florida, anu his /
wife had some money Of his. which she re-
fused 70 give up. TlIs enraged Monroe and /
caused him % stab his wife, At last accounts \
Monroe Patrick was az large.
