DETROIT (UP) Frank Hutson, who stabbed his estranged wife to death in a street-corner argument over divorce proceedings, was a police prisoner in Receiving Hospital today. Witnesses told police Hutson, 48, stabbed his 34-year-old wife, Gertrude, outside a drug store where she worked Saturday night. Hutson then slashed his own throat in a suicide attempt. The stabbings were witnessed by the couple's 11-year-old son, Billy, who was selling newspapers on the street. The Hutsons had four other children. Mrs. Helen Harrison, who worked in the drug store with Mrs. Hutson, told police the victim told her "several times she was afraid her husband might do something terrible over the divorce." Relatives said the Hutsons were divorced at Andersonville, Tenn., in 1945 but were remarried before moving to Detroit about a year later. They said the couple had been separated since last April.
