BURNED HUSBAND
TO DEATH IN BED
Wife Poured Oil on Him and Set
Fire to It.
WANTED TO MARRY LOVER

Scranton. Pa, July 8. - Eighteen
year-old Mrs. Kindra Howrsto. Of Dun
more, is in the county Jail, charged
with having burned her husband to
death that she might be free to marry
her former lover, Ignatz Hutro, who
is also in Jail charged with having in
cited the deed. According to the police,
Mrs. Howrsto had confessed and told
all the details of the crime.
All the parties are Lithuanians. Ac-
eording to the story which the police
say Mrs. Howrsto gives, she and Hutro
were lovers before she married Howr-
sto IN the old country two years ago.
Hutro preceded them to this country.
When they came here they settled near
where Hutro was living, in the Nay
Aug section Of Dunmore borough. HUI
tro renewed his attentions to Mrs.
Howrsto, and frequently was at their
house. Monday afternoon he came
there, so the police say she confesses,
and suggested that she do away with
her husband, so that they could be mar
ried. Following a suggestion which
she says Hutro made, she got her nus
band drunk, and when he was stupe-
ned in bed, she went to the room with
the kerosene lamp. She poured the oil
from the lamp on the bed and then, by
accident she says, the lamp dropped on
the bed, setting it afre. At the sight Of
her husband roasting and squirming in
the flaming bed, she became horror
stricken, and rushed from the house,
crying fire" Neighbors extinguished
the flames, and had HowrstO sent to
the state hospital, where he died soon
after without regaining consciousness.
County Detective Rafter caused the
arrest of the woman. and. on the
strength of her alleged confession, HUI
tro was later arrested at his home. ne
denied all knowledge of the crime.
Both are being held pending an inves'
dgation of the wOman's story.

Two Italians Secure Woman's Savings
BY Threatening Her.

Two Italians Secure Woman's Savings
BY Threatening Her.
Pittsburg. July S.-Trembling be-
fore the gaze of two countrymen in
Magistrate Brady's court. Mrs. Stella
Pagana, an Italian woman. told a
story Of how her savings of years had
been extorted from her by two of her
fellow countrymen. whose methods, if
her story is true. rivals those of the
Macedonian brigands for savage bru
tality. Giuseppe Furcio and Priscc
Bartirmo had been arrested upon com
plant Of Mrs Pagana, who alleged
that the two men had from time to
time demanded money by threatening
letters. The demands were for $50 and
$50 at a time. So frequent were Fur
clos and Bartiroma's demands that
the bank account was soon gone, and
finally she had to sell their property.
Her husband knew nothing of this.
she said. as she feared that If she told
him she would be killed. She was
now reduced to penury, she declared,
but her oppressors persisted in their
demands that she raise money for
them. and she had accordingly deter
mined to make information against
them for surety of the peace.
The men were held for court. Mrs.
Pagana asked that heavy bail be fixed
as she feared if the men were re
released she would be assassinated.
