 Scott went to the house of d neigh bor so eye-witnesses assert, and slashed his wife with knife. A neighbor woman named Smith at tempted to interfere and was also cut by the crazed man. He finally drop ped his weapon after cutting his wife savagely and a siX-year-old child picked up the weapon and ran away with it.
 Scott then dragged his wife with her head under his arm for a distance of 200 yards to his own home. There he took a stick of stoveWood and beat her over the head until death relieved her. He then took a hatchet and cut her head open just between the eyes.
