Mrs. Jennie Pratt i'll brief, is rcharg-
ed with administering poison in the
medicine of her sick husband in small
doses but continuing the same until he
died from the effects of a general weak
ening of his system. 1T is claimed that
she had an unrequited love for Per-
sing who was the hired man on the
Pratt farm and that the desire to be
alone with him and eventually wed
him was the motive for the alleged
crime.

mer's trip to Sweden, his native land.
This was believed for a time but the
suspicious actions of Hokuff aroused
the feelings in the neighborhood and
a warrant was sworn out for the ar
rest of HokuR.

johnson was on a trip. An fnvesti-
CATION by clever detective from Sioux
City, however, revealed the body of
Johnson horribly mutilated and buried
in stall in the barn. In the face OF
this sterling fact Hol1uff confessed the
murder.
Before he could come to trial, how
