Used Razor On
Rivals Throat
ITALIAN WOMAN TRIED TO CUT
ANoTHER's HEAD OFF With
z ARAzoR.

CLARKsBURG, July 26.-Crazel by
jealusy Mrs. ISABELLA Pessi, aged AZ
years, and an Italian, attempted to
cut Mrs. Rosa overeria's head OF with
a razor Wednesday afternoon at $3.50
Dola, and her victim lies in precaT
ious condition in the Kessler hospital
here with but slight chance Of recov'
cry.
The wound inflicted is frightful
one and only a miracle saved the
woman's head. The cash started at
the right corner Of her mouth, extehu'
ed along the cheek to the neck; slight
ly touched the side Of the neck and
curved around the back Of the neck
and went upward toward the left ear.
II is two inches deep by actual meas.
urement and the flesh was laid bare
to the bone.
Mrs. ISABELLA Pessi played the role
OF an assassin as she slipped up to
her victim and attacked her, while
she was in the yard washing, without
giving her the slightest warning Of
danger. There were several persons
in the yard and as soon as her MUIR
derous actions weer observed the vic
tim was rescued, but the assailant es-
capped, ran over hill and down to the
Rose Bud mine and then back again
toward the place where the deed was
done.
Deputy sheriffs John NJ. Knox and
John G. Lang were in that ;neighbor-
hood when the cutting took place and
they succeeded after a brief hunt in
capturing the woman in an italian
house. They brought her to jail, where
she now is. A hearing will be given
her as soon as the nature of the in.
juries of her victim is determined as
to the feature of fatality.
The act was caused by jealousy, &C
state, the assailant Iaboring ander the
impression that her husband had be-
slowed attention on Mrs. overia that
should have been given her under t.. !
marriage VOWS.
The woman who did the cutting has
been in this country but eight days
and is not familiar with the custom
and laws Of the American people.

crop is one we'll drained, rich and
