A MANIAC'S DEED
Cut His Wife's Throat and Then His Own.
(Source: Madisonville (Ky.) Hustler, Sat., Aug. 31, 1895)

At Falmouth, Ky., Thursday, Hezekiah ROBERTS, a young farmer about thirty years of age, living in the northwestern part of Pendleton county, four miles southwest of Butler, killed himself this morning by cutting his throat. He first cut his wife's throat, and, thinking he had killed her, took his own life. Mrs. ROBERTS still lives, though her life is despaired of. She was a Miss HOPPER, of Kenton, Kenton county. They have three small children. This is the fourth time ROBERTS had attempted this tragic deed. A short time ago he was pronounced insane, by Dr. SMITH, of Butler, but for some unknown reason he was not committed to the asylum. |
