New Castle, Pa March 12. Rum caused my downfall. If I had never taken a drink I would not have fired the shot that killed my wife.

He killed his wife in a drunken rage with a shotgun as she walked to work. she later made a statement accusing him. The couple separated in October 1907 after cruel treatment and sought a divorce. the murder followed two months later. Convicted last March, his execution was delayed by a reprieve. he pleaded insanity at trial. Brains bring fancy prices, even when education is going at a discount.
