WIFE HELD
FOR MURDER
Claimed That She Shot Her
Husband, A Nephew of
Admiral Sampson.

Rochester. n. Y. Nov 25-Mrs.
Georgianna Sampson. widow of Har-
ry Sampson of Palmyra, who died
Nov 1 as the result of gunshot
wound, was Tuesday formally ac.
cused of the murder OF her husband
and placed under arrest Sampson
was nephew of the late Admiral
Sampson.
The death of Sampson took place
on the Allyn farm in Wayne county
ut was at first believed that he took
his own life, but following his
death stories were circulated which
discredited that theory. DR.. Albert
Hamilton, gun shot expert, after
examining the wound in Simpsons
body testified positively that the
dead man could not have fired the
shot which killed him.
II came out at the inquest that
Sampson, on the Saturday before
bis death, had discovered a letter
written to his wife by a man out
side of the family, which had been
the cause of bitter quarrel. 1t
was also testified at the inquest
that Sampson had package of
cheese in his hand when he fell
dead, which was he'd to preclude
the idea that nc could have fred
the shot from the rifle that killed
him.
Mrs. Sampson would not make a
statement.
