Beautie Belle Stephen v. State

The state relied upon the appellants confession, which recited that she stabbed her husband with a knife and "kept on cutting him until we was in the street" and then went back in the house and put the knife in the dresser drawer. There were certain statements in the confession to the effect that the deceased was hitting her with a stick at the time she cut him with her knife, but, aside from them, it does contain the admission that she cut her husband several times and it was shown by other testimony that he died from such wounds.
