A butcher’s man out of employment offered to marry a poor widow, aged 32, at Lincoln. She refused, saying she could not work for him as well as her family. He gave her two days to think it over, declaring that if then she refused he would murder her. He called on the day named for her answer, and as she still declined to marry him he shot the poor woman dead in the presence of her five little children, and made an unsuccessful attempt upon hie own life.
