shot and killed by his wife after he threatened his wife and children with a knife. He was known to be quarrelsome and violent when drunk. He had just been released from jail for drunkenness. This wasn't the first time he threatened her, but it was the last. For all the brave women who had few rights as wives. There was no trial.
