Body of Murdered Woman Interred Here. - The body of Mrs. Arthur Pichon, nee 
Lita Ramirez, who was stabbed to death by her husband while in a drunken 
condition, at their home, 901 Royal Street, New Orleans, last Tuesday, was 
brought to Donaldsonville Wednesday and buried in the Catholic cemetery 
here. Deceased was a native of this city, and a daughter of Arnold Ramirez, 
better known as "Hamcock," and a neice (sic) of Placide Ramirez of this 
place. The funeral took place upon the arrival of the Texas and Pacific 
train at 2 o'clock p. m. According to the reports published in the New 
Orleans papers, Pichon, while drunk last Tuesday afternoon, backed his wife 
into a corner of their home and stabbed her twice in the breast and then 
buried the knife in her face, after which he made his escape. The deed is 
said to have been provoked by a chastisement administered by Mrs. Pichon to 
Arthur W., fourteen-year-old son of the murderer by a previous wife, which 
is said to have greatly infuriated the drunken man.
