Hnrwinton.
Torrington, March 1.-While suffering
from temporary alteration, probably
induced by an illness of short duration,
Frederick Norton, a prominent young
man residing in Harwinton, and until
recently employed in the factory of the
Excelsior Needle company, this morn
ing brutally assaulted his young wife
at his home in Harwinton, and after
seriously wounding her shot himself to
death.
Norton, who was twenty-five years of
age, left his work here last Friday night
i'll and went to his home. Since then he
has been able to be about the house,
the Norton homestead, the home of e.
A. Norton, the young mans father.
Since Saturday however, he had acted
strangely and at intervals was evident
ly mentally unbalanced.
This morning he arose and went to
breakfast. AT about 10 o'clock, without
warning, he struck his wife, who is
tWenty-three years of age, in the face
repeatedly with q drum stick, bruising
her painfully. Not satisfied with this,
he seized a flatiron and struck her a
violent blow in the back of the head,
breaking the skull and rendering the
woman unconscious. A few moments
later the young mans mother, in an
other part of the house. heard a report,
and, hurrying to the room, found that
her son had shot himself in the right
temple and was dead. His young wife
was on the floor unconscious. Later the
young woman regained her senses and
was able to tell the story. While her
may recover.
The couple were married last June.
Young Norton was a man of good
habits and was favorably known both
at his home and in this town.
