Mrs. Irene Lavoy Savoy. the wife.
stated on the stand that she met her
husband about September 1. married
him on September 8 and—he assaulted
her September 15. It is believed
that the Savoys have set a record, as
far as such cases are concerned in
Norwalk. '
Mrs. Szivoy stated on the witness
stand, that she had been confined to
bed as a result of the assault com-
mitted by her husband.
Savoy is employed at the, Mid \Vuy
Rest in the Boston Post road and
works there nights. Mrs. Savoy stu-
tcd that ller,llusband made her ac-
company him to work every night, as
was afraid that she‘would go out
with some other men if he left her
at home. “’hen she Wanted to visit
the Savola lunch room across the
road from the Mid \Vay Rest. Savoy
objected and it was over this that all
of their trouble started.
Judge Candce, in handing down
thcscntence. told Savoy that he had
no business bringing his wife to work
with him nights and that her place
was at home. He tried to patch up
matters between the couple. but
Mrs. Savoy informed the court, that
she would not live with her husband
again. as she was certain that lf he
had assaulted her a Week after they
were married, that he would do it
again.
Savoy was represented in court by
Attorney Abraham Slavatsky.
STORM’S' DEATH
TOLL TOTALS 59
ST. PAUL. Sept. 28.———The death
toll of Sunday's storms in Wisconsin
and Minnesota today r had 59.
and the continued isolat on of many
\Visconsin communities caused the
fear that the list in that State might
be. further increased.
W'hile crews worked today to re-
establish communication with the
rlcvnsted area, relief was being
rushed to the scores left homeless,
bereaved and crippled in the wakel
of the tornado.
Definite plans for systematic relief
were expected to be made today.
The vicinity about Then) and
Owen. in Wisconsin, still was a
tangled mass of debris. and efforts
were made to reach the heart of
that ' section which suffered the
greatest destruction.
It was known that 80 persons were
injured but it was evident that the
number probably would be greatly
increased.

sustained applause from the audi-
ence.
Laughter again rocked the court
in a later sally in which the attor-
ney attempted to determine how the
tailor held the shears.
"But I thought you said he held
the shears with both hands," said
Goldberg. .
“Well. he did."
“But now you said he had them in
his left hand."
"That's right."
"Now listencarefully." said the
attorney. "Just how long did he
have the shears in both hands."
"Right up to the time he left go

testified the youth.

Frank Arnold, an advertising so-
llcitor, said that he was in the store
when the fracas occurred, but that
he didn't think there‘ was much to
it. He admitted, h6wover. that the
tailor held the shears within six
inches of Whiting's body. and that
he said, “These scissors are long and
stiff, and I'll run you through the
heart." ‘ .
Mrs. J .Arcadl testified that she
saw part of the fight which had been
transferred to the sidewalk outside
the store. Neuger, she field. was
waving a weapoh over his head.
She couldn't testify as to what it
was except that it was long and
pointed. He was shouting at the
time:
"I stick you! I stick you!" said
Mrs. Arcadi. Whiting, at the time.
was still holding the wrists of the
tailor. while young Neuger was at
his back, pulling and kicking.
Harry Gordon. called to the stand.
told of his attempt to separate the
two.
“I made a grab for the shears." he
said, " and I missed the first time.
and the shears went through 'my
sleeve'and cut my arm. The second
time I got hold of them and held
on."
The shears. whch were brought
into court, were heavily constructed,
with broad blades which tapered to
a point. In testimony they were
stated to be from 12 to 14 inches in
length. Their actual length was 11
inches.
No defense was offered for the
accused. and Neugcr was not placed
on the stand. Grand Juror Martin
Shaughnessy in his statement to the
court said that Neuger had been in
the habit' of bullying and insulting
the women customers. and that he
had more than a dozen persons who
could testify to his discourteous ac-
tions prior to the Whiting case.
Judge John Selleck. in returning
his finding, stated that Neuger had.
been beforehim on a similar charge:
and im‘powd the fines. Neuger's at—
torney appealed. and the case was

months ago he suggested that he give
me some poison to give to my hus-
band and he would do the some to
his wife.
"At first I was horrified. but he
talked so plausibly and I had such
confidence in him that it seamed to
me to be the right thing to do. We
then finally agreed that I was to ad-
minister poison to my husband. Wil-
ford Sweetln, and he was to adminis-
ter poison to his wife, Anna. Plight.
And when a Week or two later my
husband was hurt in the mine, Law-
rence Higiit gave me a paper pack-
age which he told me contained poi-
son, and he told me to give some of
it to Wilford in anything."
"W'ilford was hurt in the mine on
the night of July 16. and the follow-
ing day we went. to Benton and went
to a. drug store and got some ice
cream and soda water and on the
way home I gave Wilford, my bus-
band. some chocolate cahdy. in
which I had mixed some of the“
poison. He became very ill ‘ and
seemed later to grow better and on
Tuesday I gave him more poison in
oatmeal. Mr. Right having given me
more poison in the meantime.
"With medical attention Wilford
seemed to grow better again and
after Dr. S. A. Thompson had wallet.
on him Friday, July 25. I adminis-
tered the final dose of poison and he
grew worse and died July 28. thl
final dose having been mixed in
tomato soup. ’
"Every time Mr. Hight came to
the house during Wilford's Illness,
he gave me a note of encouragement
to give Wilford more poison. I did
not know and he did not tell me
when he poisoned his wife. but
when she became ill and died I sup-
posed he had poisoned her. Until I
became infatuated with Mr. Plight I
had led a blameless life and had al-
ways been a true wife and mother.
and ll; is true, so help me God.
(Signed). ELSIE SWEETIN.
Mrs. Sweetin waived a preliminary
hearing, and the case was given to
the grand Jury.
Questioning of Mrs. Elsie Sweetin.
attractive widow of Wilford Sweetin.
who died of poisoning on July 28.
last, was resumed at two o'clock this
morning by State's Attorney Thomp-
son.
Examination of Mrs. Sweeiin was
halted at midnight and it was be-
lieved the grilling had ended for the
night. However, she was ordered
brought before the state's attorney
again, before whom she at first re-
peated her assertion that she was not
guilty of the accusation’made against
her by the clergyman.
Bent on Having Her
The ‘only expiahation she then as-
serted, she could give for the death
of her husband was that the minister
was bent "on having me” and “that
he did not .want any one else to have
me." -
Mrs. Sweetin was arrested yester-
day and brought to jail hereafter
the clergyman had confessed.
Mrs. Swwetin first denied that a
love affair had existed between her
and the minister, as the latter ad-
mitted to the Rev. C} C. Hall, dis-
trict superintendent of the Methodist
Episcopal church. as the motive for
the alleged poison plot. Mrs. Sweetln
also for a while dehiedh the. State‘s
Attorney said, that she had ever
used the kind of poison found in the
stomach of her husband.
While Mrs. Sweetln, was ”being
questioned in a basement room of
the county jail building here last
night by the State's Attorney with
having obtained the colnplete coné
fession of thoRIna pastel-[who had
previously admitted having put. poi-
son in water given to his wife on her
sick bed and also to Sweetin.
Upon the pleas of the superintend-
ent that he tell the whole truth. be
altered this confession and implicat-
ed Mrs. Sweetin. His first confeso

said. had been made to shield Hrs.

what he had told the superintendent
was the whole truth, thus implying
a denial of knowing anything of the
death, three years ago. of a Center—
vllle, 111., high school girl, wileso
death is being investigated at the
instance of the State‘s Attorney here.
The girl's picture was found in the
parsonage. and it was said that she
too had died of ptomaine poisoning.
Expulsion of Rev. Mr. flight from
the ministry was expected to be lake
on up today at the annual meeting of.
the southern lllinois Methodist Epis-

clergyman declined to surrender his
credentials as a minister when re-
quested by Rev. Mr. Hall but at the
same time informed him where the
credentials could be found.
