This day. Shocking Murder and Suicide.
A shocking tragedy occurred in King street early this morning. Antiwell Hayes, a contractor, cut his wife's throat with a razor, and afterwards committed suicide. When the alarm was given by a lodger in the house, Hayes had only a mere scratch in the neck, and while the inmates went for assistance Hayes went into the kitchen, inflicting a fearful wound with a earring knife, death resulting almost immediately. Hayes blamed Trenwick the lodger for being the cause of the affair, but there is reason to believe he was laboring from insanity, which runs through the family. Hayes was about fifty, aud his wife forty. Inquest on Monday.
