WOMAN'S SKULL
LAID OPEN WITH AXE
Louis d. Pelkey of Fair Haven Will Be
Held in Connection With Case
Pending Outcome of His
Wife's Injuries.

Rutland, July l7-Louis d. Pelky Of
Fair Haven, a moulder, is in the lookup
there ON q technical charge of assault
which may be changed to one more
serious if his wife, whom he is alleged to
have struck with an axe Wednesday
night, should die The chances of the
woman's recovery are slight. according
to the attending physician, DR.. r. Lape.
The consumption of a pint bottle of
whiskey and quantity of beer robbed
Pelkey of his senses and filled him with
rage he says, and his mind is a blank
from the time he drank the liquor until
his daughter, Miss Belle Pelkey, entered
the house at six O'Clock Wednesday even
ing and found her mother with the hus-
band standing over her with an'axe.
The woman was bleeding profusely and
was unconscious until yesterday noon
when she regained consciousness.
A physician was Immediately sum
moned but an effort was made to conceal
the matter from the authorities. Mrs.
Pell<ey was found TO have been struck
twice with the blade of the axe, a glanc.
ing blow in the head and the other blow
leaving a gaping wound starting at the
forehead and extending over the top of
the back OF the head. The latter blow
had produced a serious conclusion of the
brain and exposed four inches of the
skull, but had not caused fracture of the
skull. Dr. Lape said that he thought it
would be week before ii would be pos
sible to say whether the woman would
live or die.
The matter was hushed mp to some ex-
tent by immediate members of the fam |
ly but yesterday afternoon Deputy |
Sheriff John II. Policy heard of it and |
vent to the house To arrest pelkey. He !
,ody of a brother, but later took him TO
he lookup, where the prisoner passed
he night, Relatives of the woman, who
S Pelkey's second wife, came to the city
ate yesterday afternoon and informed
states Attorney B. l.. Stafford of the af-
air. The states attorney after learning
# the arrest OF tie man decided TO 90 to
'air Haven this morning and investigate
he case.
Pelkey has not been working for three
ays and it is said that during the time
e has been drinking TO excess. He is
aid TO have good reputation in Fair /
laven, as a law.abiding citizen. When I
G was arrested he showed signs of re- /
iorse, and declared that the attack was {
ntirely due to liquor. The man has re- /
aimed w. Fl. Preston as counsel, and
lr. Preston has advised the states at. !
1rney that his client will waive exami- !
alton, and be bound over to the next /
