USED RAZOR ON HER HUSBAND
Drunken Husband Killed by Wife Whom he Was Beating in
 Unmerciful Tanner

Brinkley, June 29.-Mrs. J. M Cole, wife of farmer living north of town, killed her husband with razor late last night after a des- perate struggle with him, in which he tried repeatedly to murder her. The coroner's jury held an inquest today and exonerated her, their verdict being that the killing was in selfdefense and justifable. Evi- dence before the jury was to the effect that Cole had beaten the woman and denied her and her child food and that he was trying to kill her when he met his end.
 Cole had been on a protracted spree. Several nights in success sion he had gone home drunk and whipped his wife, her body being covered with welts and bruises, showing brutality almost unthink- able. Last night he went to the depot and secured several bottles of whisky, which he drank to ex- cess. His wife, fearing that he would kill her if she slept in her room, made her bed on the porch during his absence. and when he came home at a late hour, infuri- ated with drink, he found her there. Flourishing razor, he told her he was going to kill her. She grappled with him and he seized her hair, tearing it out by the handfuls. They fought all over the porch, which was soon covered with blood. By almost superhuman effort the woman got control of the razor, and as her husband came at her again she drew 1t across his throat, severing his jugular vein. He fell into the front yard and died there in few minutes.
 Their little son was the only witness to the fight, and he stood by and wept bitterly as 1t was 90 ing on. As soon as Cole was dead Mrs. Cole summoned negro and sent him to town for the marshal, who went to the house, but refused to make an arrest.

Pink Ripley, colored, Saturday night, appeared before Squire T. w. Shaver here for trial, and was discharged, there being no prose- cution. An acquittal was expect ed, as the killing was plainly justi- fable. Ripley had his gun on Calhoun father, and as the boy came up, truned the weapon on him, and young Calhoun fired.

GOVERNOR PARDONS A BOODLER
Senator Butt, Who Entered Peni- tentiary Five Months Ago, is
 Again a Free Han

FestuS Q. Butt, former state sentator from the Twenty-fourth district, convicted on the charge bribery and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary and to have to pay a fine of $2OO, has been par doned by Governor Pindall. Butt had been confined in the peniten- tiary four months and twenty seven days.
 His reasons for granting the par don are given by Acting Cover nor Pindall in communication to Mrs. Butt. He tells her he think her husbands disgrace has been sufficient, and that he is less gull ty than others who have escaped, and for him to remain longer in prison would not increase his dis grace, but would only add to the suffering of his family.
 MORE INDICTMENTS AGAINST
 HIM
 There are three other boodline indictments against Butt. He will be prosecuted on the three indict- ments which remain against him, and, 1t is stated by those in posi- tion to know, that Prosecuting At torney Rhoton thinks he has stronger cases against him on at least two of these indictments than he had in the case in which Butt was convicted. Butt, by chance, will be the next of the many men indicted for boodling to be tried. His cases were taken to Perry county on change of venue from Pulaski, and will come up there next August. Former Senator Webb Covington will probably be tried next September.
 SKETCH OF BUTT
 F. O. Butt is about 32 years of age. He is native of Illinois and came to Arkansas when he was quite young. He was educated in the public schools in this state He taught school for four years and was superintendent of the public school at Berryville in 1894 and 1895. He was county examiner of Carroll county in 1900 and 1901, preceding his election to the senate from his district.
