The wife, after a terrible struggle, succeeded in pushing the robber out of the door and shut ting it. It was only then that Bhe per ceived that her husband was dead, and, in her terror, she rushed out to arouse the neighbors. The thief, however, was still hidden in the doorway, and another struggle took place, in the course of which he used his knife freely. But although she was unarmed he could not overpower her, and as the neighbors were heard approach ing he made good his escape.
