The New Hampshire Gazette

Augut. A melancholy affair happened lately near High Wycomb, Bucks: As one Turner, coachman to the Rev. Dr. Clark of that town, was driving his lady down a bye place, called Tadpole Lane, on a sudden he stopped the carriage, violently pulled the lady by her hair out of her place, and with a snick a snee, stabbed her several times in her body. The lady was carried to farmer Westfield's, where, notwithstanding all possible care, after languishing three days in great agony, she expired. This affair must have been premeditated, for Turner (who always behaved remarkable well in his station till this horrid Act) was provided with a loaded pistol, which he discharged at farmer Westfield's wife and one Mrs. Walker, whom he met in his flight, but providentially did them no harm: Farmers Westfield and Walker, who were haymaking in a field near the road, pursued him with their prongs as far as Wycomb; he took in at the back door of one Mr. Squires, for protection, but was soon discovered, and by the mayor of that place committed to receive his just deserts.
