PENRITH HERALD and East Cumberland and Westmorland News. =============================================== SMALL NEWS ITEMS. TRAGEDY AT FARNHAM. - On Saturday, a man named STEPHEN DEADNAN and his wife were found in their house at Bath-cottages, near the Farnham railway station, both being fearfully wounded. MRS. DEADNAN was lying in an upper room of the cottage. Four or five wounds had been inflicted on her head and the upper part of her body, and in another room the husband was discovered with his throat cut in a frightful manner. Both were alive at the time, but the man died in the course of the day. Although the injuries sustained by MRS. DEADNAN were of a most serious character, she was able to give some particulars of the occurrence. From her statement to the police, it appears that her husband quarrelled with her as they were dressing in the morning. He attacked her with a knife, and stabbed her several times, the weapon being broken in the struggle that took place between them. He then rushed downstairs and cut his own throat with another knife. According to the neighbours, the deceased man and his wife had lived very unhappily together for a long time past, and it was stated that the former had recently frequently assaulted and threatened the poor woman, who is the mother of several children. __________________________________________________
