Charlotte, May 24 (AP)—Alternating between grief and satisfaction, Mrs. Nellie Freeman, “child bride,” was today in jail and Coroner Frank Hovis was preparing to ask for a preliminary hearing for the woman charged with the slaying of her husband, Alton Freeman Saturday night.
Mrs. Freeman told officers she slashed her husband’s throat with a razor when he told her he was deserting her. He died within a few minutes. The slaying occurred at the home of Freeman’s parents, where the couple lived.
