Reno Evening Gazette October 11, 1889
A Wife Murderer

Who Will Never Get Justice Until Hanged
Last evening’s Virginia Chronicle says: Mrs. M. A. Wells died in the County
Hospital this morning from injuries inflicted on her person by a cruel beating
she received at the hands of her husband last June- a few days after they were
joined in wedlock.  The certificate of her death, signed by Dr. Webber, assigns
the above as the cause.

The details of the beating were given in the Chronicle last week at the time
Mrs. Wells was reported dying.  In the cruel beating received from her husband,
Mrs. Wells’ left hip bone was broken near the joint, and an abcess formed there
which resulted fatally.

Her body was frightfully bruised in other places from the brutal beating she
received.  Wells is still at large and was last seen in Candelaria.  It is
probable that the Grand Jury will find an indictment against him before making a
final report
