SAMPSON MURDER
CASE TAKEN Up
BY JURY
BIT OF BREAD AND CHEESE MAY
PROVE ADMIRAL SIMPSONS
NEPHEW WAS KILLED; WIFE IN
JAIL.

LYONS, n. Y. Feb. 1.-The grand
jury OF Wayne county today took up
consideration OF the case Of Mrs.
Georgia Allyn Sampson, charged with
the murder Of her husband. Harry
Sampson. a nephew OF the late Rear
Admiral. at their home In Macedon,
two miles from here. II Is expected
that an indictment charging murder
in the first degree will be found. Mrs.
Sampson has been In the county jail
here since Noy.. rs last when she was
arrested following the AIDING Of the
coroners jury which charged her with
The commission otsthe crime ON Nov.
/. The eoronei's jury declared that
Mrs. Sampson shot her husband with
22-caliber rife with 'premeditated
intent and design 10 Kill"
The trial Of Georgia Sampson,
which is expected to follow her indict
date promises o be one of the most
sensational ever known In the western
part of the state. The charge against
the widow Is based on a peculiar cir
fact that young Samr-
son when he was found dead In the
pantry Of his home, had a bit OF bread
and cheese In his hand. Except for
this apparently trifing fact. Samp-
sons death might have passed for
suicide.
But upon this slight groundwork,
the district attorney has built up a
strong case against Mrs. Sampson.
He has found a motive-the allegation
that Mrs. Sampson was In love with
another man-and the discovery OF
this fact by her husband led TO a
quarrel.
