IN OUR OWN STATE.
WIFE MURDERED WITH AN AXE.
Wells Farmer Who Struck the Fatal
Blow Had Been Addicted to Use Of
Ilorphlne 20 Years.

Mrs. Alexander Ikey was murdered at
Wells Thursday by her husband who
crept up behind her while she was at
work In the pantry and crushed her skull
with a blow from an axe, causing instant
death. key then stepped into an ad-
joining room and told his son, Albert,
what he had DONE and said there were
one or two others in town whom he in
tended to finish. The young man re-
strained his father and sent word TO
Deputy Sheriff a. G. Mason of Pawlet.
who arrested key and took him to the
house of correction in Rutland. key is
wild in appearance and Is apparently de-
mented. At Rutland he said he remem-
bered some of the events leading up TO
the murder He said that a few days
before his wife put her hands on his face
and that since then there had been a
pimple there that burned and burned"
There was also,a place on his leg that
burned and burned, he said, and his
family had put poison i'm his bed. he said.
Mrs. keys maiden name was Ellen Nc
Cormick and she came from Whiting.
Besides the son there is a daughter,
Mary. 90 who lives at home.
1t now appears that 1key was n con-
firmed morphine eater. He began taking
the drug to relieve pain, the habit
was so fastened upon him and for %
years he had been addicted to its use.
His reason had probably become impaired
from morphine.
key was arraigned on the charge OF
murder before Justice w. X. Farnsworth
at Rutland. The prisoner was bound over
to the county court but 1t Is not likely
that his case will ever come up before
the grand jury which does not meet until
September. There is provision whereby
a prisoner who gives good evidence of his
insanity can be put in charge of the Off
Gals of the state asylum. key will prob
ably be sent in due time to Waterbury.
