News item from Beeville, Mar. 25: "Another one of those blood curdling murders, which are so frequently mentioned in the daily press, occurred here last night, and probably Bee county will be called upon , through its efficient officers, to send a red-handed murderer into eternity by the hemp route. About 4 o'clock this morning Augustine Gonzales, with a large butcher knife, arose from his bed and deliberately cut his wife to pieces, from the effects of which she died in a very few minutes. The murderer was taken in to custody about daylight by Sheriff Walton. In the examining trial, which resulted in sending Gonzales to jail without bail, he stated that he killed his wife and was glad of it, even though he would hang immediately. He states that his reasons for the act were jealousy, he having intercepted two letters from a man in Corpus Christi, addressed to his wife, and at which he took offense. They have a family of several children, and have been married about fourteen years. They are from Brownsville."
