WOMAN'S BRAIN BEATEN OUT BY HER HUSBAND
Sam Huddleston Beat Wife With Rock Near Broken Bow
Sam Huddleston, aged about 37 years. who resides two miles northeast of Broken Bow, was arrested Friday morning and placed in the county jail to await the results of a severe beating he administered to his 35 year old wife, early in the morning.
Huddleston has resided near Broken Bow about six years, but removed to Arkansas last year, and was declared insane and sent to the state hospital for nervous diseases at Little Rock. He was released about two or three months ago and he and his family have resided near Broken Bow since. He has been employed on the farm by Jack Currence at intervals since and his wife has been working in a sewing room at Broken Bow. For the past several days he has been mad at his family and quarreling with them. Friday morning Mrs. Huddleston started to the sewing room, taking her children with her, when Huddleston came up behind her, knocking her down with his fist, then securing a rock, which would weigh about two pounds, beat her over the head with it, after which the oldest girl ran to a neighbor's for aid. On the return they met Huddleston, who told them there was no use in going further, as he had finished the job.
Huddleston was taken in to Broken Bow by neighbors and turned over to officers, who called the sheriff's office. Sheriff Stewart, Deputies Joe Hough, and Robert Ives accompanied by County Attorney Wilkinson, went to the scene of the crime and made an investigation. They brought Huddleston to Idabel and placed him in jail.
Mrs. Huddleston was not dead when the officers returned to this city, but they report there was no chance for her to live, as her brains had been beaten out. She was the mother of six children, ranging in age from eight months to twelve years.
