Raftsman's Journal. (Clearfield, Pa.) August 13, 1856
James Smith, who cut his wife's throat in Sheffield, Warren county, Pa., some time
ago, cut his own throat on Thursday and died in an hour and a half. He came out of
the woods where he had hidden and was pursued by several men who were haying. As
they were overtaking him he fired his rifle at one of the company without effect,
and then cut his throat from car to ear. He was armed with a rifle, revolver and
knife, and seemed to posses the desperation of a fiend. He had been seen round there
the night before, probably starved out of his hiding place. His wife is slowly
recovering from her wound.
