When the narrator and his wife were going down the cellar one day (for no apparent reason), their new cat follows them and nearly trips the narrator. In a rage, the narrator grabs a nearby axe and swings at the cat, only to be stopped by his wife. So then he turns to her and burys the axe in her head, killing her instantly. Not wanting to be caught, he debates a bit about what to do with the body, eventually deciding to bury her in the wall of the cellar. He takes down the old wall, puts the body inside, and builds the wall back up in an almost exact copy of the old.
He keeps her body in the cellar wall for a number of reasons. One, she was his wife, and he loved her, even though he abused her. Two, despite what he says in the beginning, he's crazy, and only crazy people think of hiding the body of a person they murdered in a place no one else would think to look for it. Unfortunatley for our narrator, this proves to be his undoing.
