Fort Worth Woman Slain By Husband
Mrs. Grover C. Glenn, 54, Is Slashed to Death at Ranch Near Stephenville.
Stephenville, May 19 -- Mrs. Grover C. Glenn, 54, of Fort Worth, was slashed to death by her husband Sunday morning at their ranch home eight miles northeast of here, where the couple had come six weeks ago on one of their periodic visits.
Appearance of a closet and the kitchen, where Mrs. Glenn's body was found, indicated there had been a terrific struggle before she died. She was practically decapitated, and there were cuts on her left hand and deep wounds across her cheeks. Near her body was a bloody butcher knife, about 10 inches long.
Pacing his cell in the Erath County jail Sunday afternoon, Glenn, 61, told officers: "I killed her with a butcher knife. I don't know why." He added that he had been in a sanitarium at Dallas for treatments, but did not know when he was discharged.
"Gentlemen, my mind is in a bad shape," he remarked to District Attorney Sam Cleveland, Sheriff Carl W. Turnbow and Police Chief W. F. Henson.
The Glenns, who had been married about 35 years, lived at 2813 Park Hill Drive in Fort Worth. Former operator of a furniture store there, Glenn sold out about two years ago.
He bought the 640-acre ranch in 1941. For the last two years it had been by Glenn's brother-in-law, Miller Daniel, of Fort Worth.
The killing occurred about 9 a.m. Sunday while Daniel and an employe of the ranch, George Smith, 20, had gone to a neighbor's for some hogs.
Telling the story, Daniel said "I noticed before I left the house that my brother-in-law acted differently. He got up early and dressed as if her was going to church. He usually wore rough clothes about the ranch. I was gone with Smith about 30 minutes. When we returned and pulled into the driveway, Glenn ran out the back door and said 'I have killed her.' He repeated it, and then said 'Take me to the jail and hang me'."
Daniel said he feared when had happened, particularly since he noticed blood on Glenn's clothes. Smith, going into the house first, found the body of Mrs. Glenn in the kitchen.
Glenn was brought to jail here by Daniel and Smith. First officer on the slaying scene was Deputy Sheriff W. H. Young, who said there appeared to have been a violent struggle, perhaps starting in a pantry about four by eight feet. A woman's comb was in the pantry, Young explained, and there were some bloody splinters of wood in the small space.
An inquest verdict that Mrs. Glenn was stabbed to death at the hands of G. C. Glenn was returned by Justice of the Peace W. T. Graves.
In the jail, Glenn, who came to the ranch recently for a rest, told officers as he admitted the killing that he had been thinking of doing it for some time.
"I don't know why I got mad at her," he stated.
Mrs. Glenn, the former Cornelia Frances Daniel, is survived by two brothers besides Miller Daniel. They are Trav and Joe Daniel, both of Fort Worth. She was born and reared in Fort Worth.
The body was taken to that city Sunday night, and funeral arrangements are pending.
From the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Saturday, June 8, 1946, p. 1:
The will of Mrs. Grover C. Glenn, hacked to death with a butcher knife May 19 at Stephenville, leaves the bulk of an estate estimated at $125,000 to her 61-year-old husband, who admitted slaying her, was found to be of unsound mind, and confined in the Wichita Falls State Hospital.
The will, dated in March 1945, was filed Friday for probate by her brother, J. H. Daniel, as temporary administrator. THe will had named him to serve as executor in the event of death of the husband.
Bequests of $10,000 eacdh were left to Daniel and two other brothers, T. V. Daniel Jr. and Miller Daniel. Bequests of $2,500 each were made to two nieces, Frances Daniel Spain and Evelyn Daniel Spain, and to a nephew, Billy Daniel. The remainder of the estate was left to her husband.
Glenn, a retired furniture dealer here, was given a lunacy hearing before County Judge Kraft May 29.
