DESPERATE STRUGGLE AT HOME Assailant is Missing and May Have Committed Suicide. THE TT Mli us T ROCK ISLAND. ILL A long period of domestic unpleas antness between Ben" Porter and his wife, who conduct a restaurant at 1911 Second avenue, came to u head last evening in an assault with mur derous intent bv thehusbaml, when he attempted to cut his wife's throat with a razor. Murder was prevented by the des perate resistance of the woman and the prompt assistance of boarders in the house who were attracted by her screams. tar months there has been more or less tlomestic discord and -Monday last Mrs. Porter had her husband nr rested for being drunk and disorder ly about the place. He was let off with a lifht line and since that time has not been drinking. Wanted Revenge. He appears, however, to have been cherishing the thought of revenge for having been placed in the hands the law, and yesterday intimated to his wife that neither she nor himself would long be iu the land of the liv big. As she had grown accustomed to such talk. Mrs. Porter thought littl of it. Last evening it became evident that the man was more than usially perturbed. It was about 11 o'clock that Mrs. Porter heard someone down stairs in the restaurant, which was locked, and she went down to inves tigate. There she found her husband tak ing sandwiches out of the case anil placinjr them on a platter. Mie re monstrated with him and presently started toward the rear of the room He followed, and noting something unusual in his actions, she became alarmed and turned to pass him and eturn up stairs. As she passed he caught her and followed to the nar row hall at the foot of the staircase. There he struck at her throat with i razor that he had carried concealed iu his hand. Makes Deadly Attack Three times he tried, each time cutting the back of her-neck. 1 hen she turned and grappled with him. seizing hold of the razor handle. which was broken in pieces in th' st niggle. l!v this time the boarders had le- ........ ome aroused, in;l William route. who roomed near the head of jjhe stairway, came to the rescue. Porter then release;! his hold on his wife in;l fled into the alley in the rear of the biiihling. earrving with him the lade of the razor. The police were notified at once and thorough search was made, but he had not been located this afternoon. .Members of the family and the police ire inclined to think he has suicided. Wound Dremnl. Dr. ('. T. Foster was called to care for Mrs. Porter, who was bleeding profusely from the cuts in her neck and on her right hand, where she had grabbed the blade of the razor. It was found that the blade had failed o reach a vital part and none of the arger arteries had been severed. The incisions were made on the leit side and six stitches were sufticient to close them. Today Mrs. Porter is able to be about the house and direct, her business affairs. Often Threatened Her Life. Mrs. Porter says that her life has often been threatened by her hus band. She declares that it was his attacks upon her that brought about her condition a couple of months ag- when she was adjudged insane and committed to, the Watertown hospi tal. I'pon lK-ing separated from tin a use of her trouble she speedily re overed and has been home several weeks. V week ago Porter, was drinking heavily, using the funds tf the estab lishment, which belongs to Mrs. Por ter and of which he was temporarily . j t in charge, w ncn lie was arresicn Monday Mrs. Porter took, charge of ilTairs and from then on had refused o give him money with which to buy drink. Where he was violent before and made a number of assaults upon his, wife, he became quiet and since Monday he evidently had been plan ning the deed of last night. The razor he used belonged to a boarder, Wellington Martin, und he secured it during the evening. An examination of the premises after the attempt had leen made to cut Mrs. 'orter's throat showed that he .had ainpered with the fastenings on all of the doors lending out of the build ing so that they could not lie locked. Inst what his object could .have been. unless he was planning to escape af ter his contemplated crime, is not known. Jumped In Hirer. Perhaps. A number of persons are witnesses to the fact that Porter has repeated ly threatened to kill himself. Gener ally he was under the influence of li quor when he did so and litle was thought, of it. He is known to have declared he would jump into the river anil by many this is believed to have leen the course he -adopted. There also appears to be good ground for the belief that he has not been alto gether saue, his actions during the past week especially bearing out the theory of partial insanity.
