Stabbed With Scissors. "Mollle." he said In an unnatural voice, "I am going to kill you." "You wouldn't do that. Harry," said the wife, terrifled. Without another word. Dhernock got out of bed and .went to the dresser. He took n pair otkclssore from a draw- er, while his trekbllng wife watched him, too frightened to utter a word. Returning to the -side of the bed he plunged the scissors Into her left bretyit, just over the heart. Mrs. Dhernock gave one scream, which aroused, her mother. Dhernock, appar ently unconscious of what he had done, walked calmly Into the kitchen, sat in a chair and lit a cigarette. He was smoking Indifferently when neighbors, sroused by Mrs. Goodman, rushed Into the fist. Then Dhernock was awaken ed by the noise. Knew Husband Didn't Mssn It. Dhernock, dazed, walked Into the bed room. Hie wife, still conscious, lay dying on the floor while their tittle girl was weeping beside her. "What's the matter. Molller asked Dhernock, his voice trembling. "Don't you know. Harry; you stab bed me,” whispered his wife weakly. But I know you didn't mean It." "My God! Did I do that?" shrieked the husband.
