The Yale Expositor
November 30, 1894


              MARTIN MEDDAUGH, in a state of despondency,
                Cuts his Throat from Ear to Ear.
                
              On Tuesday morning of this week MARTIN MEDDAUGH,
            a farmer living three miles east of this village,
            told his family he was going to the back part of
            the farm to cut wood. Nothing more was thought of
            the matter until about noon when his son came upon
            the body of the father about ten rods from the
            house lying upon the face. A shocking sight was
            discovered upon the body when turned. The head
            was nearly severed from the body. A large jack
            knife was found clinched in the bloody hands,
            which showed what means had been used to do the
            terrible deed. No cause is known for the action,
            unless despondency of mind.
