Walker - Laura - murdered

Journal 28 Aug 1907 p 1
One of the most
atrocious crimes ever committed within the confines of Montgomery County
occurred today about 12:30 o’clock on east Jefferson Street when Ot Walker, an
employee of the match factory murdered his wife, Laura Walker in cold blood,
cutting her throat almost from ear to ear from the effects of which she lived a
short time. Walker and his wife have
been more or less in the public eye for two or three years on account of family
troubles, he having been so abusive that it has been necessary for her to leave
him when he almost invariable threatened her with violence. - kbz
