A LACEMAKER's CRIME.


place in Nottingham. A man
named Hubert Weston, a lace
maker, murdered his wife at Yer
non avenue, and afterwards entered
the house of a neighbor and
stabbed woman who was lying
with her infant, which was born
only recently. He also attacked
another woman who, however, es-
capped to her cottage. Weston has

tody.
1t is believed that Weston
strangled his wife by putting his
hands tightly round her throat,
having apparently previously
twisted handkerchief about her
neck. Failing in his attack upon
Mrs. Attenboro, he threw vitriol at
her retreating form, scorching her
clothes and neck. He gave up the
chase of Mrs. Attenboro, and pro-
ceeded to the house of the latter's
daughter, Mrs. Greensmith, who
was confined only on Monday and
was lying in bed with her infant.
Weston imbedded a carving knife
deeply into the nose OF the unfor-
tunate woman, and much force
had to be used to withdraw the
weapon, it having penetrated firm
ly. In her endeavor to protect her
self and her infant, Mrs. Green
smith was badly cut about the
hands. Weston was pursued and
arrested, and when charged with
the crime, said in effect: "They
made me kill my wife," He seems
to have a grievance against his in
jured neighbors.
