Insane by Sick wite's RAWLINGS,
Sinks Axe in Her Brain and
Cuts Own Throat With Knife.

Concord, n. H., April 26.-His mind
unbalanced by the strain of living with
his Iiervously i'll wife, Herman w.
Clough, a railroad switchman, late to-
day killed his wife by splitting her
head with an axe and then cut his own
throat with a meat knife, dying in
stantly.
Mrs. Clough, who was about AS years
old, had been confined to her bed with
a nervous disorder for nearly six
months. So serious was her illness
that two nurses were in attendance
upon her. 1t is said that Mrs. Clough
was very noisy and that her husband
often was unable to sleep because of
her cries. One night, not long ago, he
went to police headquarters and asked
the officer to let him sleep there, as
he could secure no rest at home His
request was granted.
Last night, it is said, Mrs. Clough
was unusually boisterous. Her out
cries disturbed all in the house and
her husband and a daughter, the only
child were unable to sleep. Although
the girl went to High school as usual
