up from Louisiana, and as result be-
came somewhat demented. an evidence
of insanity was her refusal to believe
that some one had stolen her infant and
substituted another for it. On Sunday
night she got uD and got hold of knife
and struck her husband, who was asleep,
oyer the head four times, inhicting
CHASTITY wounds each time. In attempt.
ing to protect himself with his hand,
she cut his hand and forearm in about
ton different places, each cut going
clear TO the bone. His cries brought the
neighbOrs in, who took his wife and
confined her in another room. DIR. Pea
body was summoned as quickly as pos
sible, and so numerous were the wounds
it took him over FIVE hours to sew up
and dress them. When the neighbors
came in, in response to the cries of dis
tress, Mrs. Arnet assured them man
had come in and cut her husband. and
as soon as she was removed she seemed
to forget all about it. Although Mr..
Arnet suffered great loss of blood, it is
thought he will recover. All the blows
were glancing ones. Had they been
direct, any one of them would have
killed him instantly.
