ANXIOUS TO BE A WIDOW.
Alleged Conspiracy of a Chicago Woman to
Kill Husband for IL Lover.


Chicago, August S.--In a bill for di-
vorce filed in the superior court today by
Mrs. Bella I'll. Hassett against William II.
Hassett, of this city, it is alleged that Has
sett conspired with the wife of wealthy
farmer named Stone, now living near Nash
VA, Ia, to murder Stone, get divorce from
his own wife and then MARRY the widow
of Stone. The allegations are. supported
by letters which show that Mrs. Stone
was more than ready to put her own nus
band out of the way that she might marry
Hassett.
Mrs. Hassett is well known in the better
circles of Cincinnati, where she taught
school for several years. Her maiden
name was Belle Cynthia Hicks, and her
widowed mother yet resides in CINCINNATI.
Hassett comes from wealthy family IN
Jefferson, la. His father, prior to his death
a short time ago, had accumulated for
tune, which will benefit Hassett, 1t is said,
to the extent of $4,000 or 5000.
He was married to Miss Hicks, who at
that time lived in Hamilton, July 4, 1871.
travelling through Iowa, he became ac-
Quainted with Mrs. Nellie Stone, who was
living with her husband, wealthy farmer,
in Nashua. The woman, the bill alleges
became enamored of Hassett and, 1t IS
charged, made propositions to make away
with her husband, who was past middle
age and an invalid.
What the initial developments of the al
legged conspiracy to murder Farmer stone
were have not been made known. While
all This was going on Mrs. Hassett re
mained at her comfortable home. The al
legged plot. as evidenced by the data at
tached to the bill, was to bring stone TO
Chicago on Il trip to the tar ana put Il
quantity of poison in the medicine he was
taking The couple, in order to shield
themselves, it is said, from the clutches
of the law, were to give out that the death
of Mrs. Stones husband was from natural
causes.
Mrs. Hassett became aware OF the SO,
called intrigue through an accident. NOt
long ago her husband came home IN an
intoxicated condition and quarrel arose,
resulting in the defendant telling his wife
that he had woman living IN Iowa VINO
loved him more than she ana II sne dlu
not believe il she would find number or
letters in his trunk which would prove IT.
Mrs. Haseett was quick to act on the in.
formation given her, and while her husband
was away from homo she opened his trunk
and found the letters.
She was Mortified at their contents and
Immediately placed the matter III the hanuS
of her attorneys, who prepared the Dill Tor
n divorce. The most important letters OF
the bundle were read and attached to the
bill. o,,oa
When Hassctt became aware IN his sober
moments that his wife had obtained posses
sion of the letters he made an attempt TO
kill her, it is said and was only prevented
from doing so by the interference OF helsh-

night and admitted all the allegations con

through first and five palace cars were
piled upon it. one above another.
The Inflated train was one of the fastest

The Atlanta constitution. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1885-19??, 1893-09-05


Unfortunately the past rivalry between SEN
ator Hin and Mr.. Cleveland for presidential
honors and the evident i'll temper of Mr.
Hill Immediately following upon Mr.. Cleye-
and'S nomination. will discount much OF the
effect OF his speech delivered in the senate
on the financial question. The friends Of
Mr. Cleveland are sure to declare Thar it was
pique that prompted his criticism of the
president, and even the friends Of Mr.. Hill
will be disposed to regret it for the simple
fact that it lays him open to this charge
But whether Il partisan of Hill or Of Cleve-
land and whether the spirit of Mr.. Hili's crit
icsm Of the president is approved or disap-
proved, the frank reader is obliged to admit
that some of Mr.. Hills points were well
made. In the breast of every man, who is
not gold m0n0metailist, there is an endorse
ment of these words of Senator Hill, even
though he may be a stanch Cleveland man:
1T was hoped that the president, in view
of the provisions of the democratic national
platform in favor of Il double standard, and
in Wow of the well known opinion of large
majority of his own party in congress, would
have at least spoken Il Kind or encouraging
word in behalf of Il return to bimctatlism.
1t would certainly have made the path Of re-
peal an easier one, and prevented much mis-
construction and bitterness"
Had President Cleveland in his message
thrown out any suggestion OF future silver
legislation, and given assurance that il would
meet with his favor, the repeal of the SHEER
man act would have been much easier. His
failure to do SO, at a time when the need for
his doing it was SO apparent, gives reason
for the silver advocates to believe that Mr..
Cleveland is unfriendly to silver and favors
single gold standard.

the couple and that she and Mrs. Danic.

blessing she uttered the ALLOWING terrible
curse and prophecy:

feet and you cannot tell from whence 1t
comes. My curse be upon you.''
