Mrs. Crockwell has a chance to recover. The trouble was over a small amount of money Mrs. Crockwell had saved from | the sale of the farm produce and which she refused to turn over to her husband. | Words led to blows .and Crockwell pro- | cured a small ax and struck his wife a | blow on the temple, cutting a deep gash three inches long. The blow forced the ax | head from the handle and he struck her | with the handle, knocking her down, ‘and then rushed into the kitchen, where he ured a marline spike. He returned and | again assaulted his wife. Lifting her from the floor by the ear, he showered blow after blow upon her, breaking three of her ribs on the left side and tearing away the ear by which he held her. The weapon flew from his hand and out of the window. He left the house to recover it, | and M Crockwell, although serlously wounded, escaped to' a neighbor's house and told of the affray. After the departure of his wife Crock- well went to the barn and drank a portion of the contents of an eight-ounce bottle of | | carbolic actd. He was found there in an unconscious conditlon when the authori- ties ed and was taken to the house for medical treatment. He regained con- | sclousness later in the day and when told that his wife was dead =aid: “I am glad she is; I intended to finish her for good." Mrs. Crockwell gave the information that her husband's father killed his wife some twenty-six years ago and then com- mitted suicide. Crockwell served six months In the County Jafl here for beating his wife S vears The aged couple in stralghten circumsta s of their eing the sole 1 sroperty was mortgaged for $1200.
