Hight, told Judge Kern that she
had signed a confession that she
gave her husband poison three times
once in candy, once in oatmeal,

clared that it was not true.
’I signed it because Hight told
me to,” she said. “I never poison

“He told me when Hiey left him
in the room with me at the Mount
Vernon court house that everybody
believed I had poisoned my husband
and that there was a mob forming
and unless I confessed the officers
would let the mob get u sand hang

Peter Twitty of the State Game

The survey which Dr. Galtzoff is
to make, beginning January 1,
1925, will not cost the State ans‘

According to Commissioner Twit

‘to devote most of his time to a care
