On August 14, 1903, he attempted to beat his wife to death and then kill himself by hanging. As the headline to the story in the State Journal says, he failed at both. The article says that he was jealous of his wife and had been drinking heavily recently although witnesses said he was not drunk when he tried to murder his wife. The article also said that he “has a wife and one child, a married daughter, and the family conducts a boarding house on the corner of Fourth and Main Streets in Stoughton.
