NETTIE PALMER
AND WILLIAM HOY
TAKEN TO PRISON

Nettie Palmer and William Hoy, the
Danbury couple who were tried re-
Gently before a criminal Superior
court jury for the murder of their
illeGitimate child, were taken to
states prison to-day. The woman,
who is A years old, was found guilty
of manslaughter and was sentenced to
prison for not more than three and
not less than one year. Hoy was
given a life sentence upon the charge
of murder in the second degree. Hoy
is 27 years old.
Although they had been very
friendly for a period of II years, Mrs.
Palmer and Hoy have not spoken
since the trial. Their stories were
conflicting and led to bitterness be-
tween the pair. When they were
being led away this morning Mrs. Pal
mer and Hoy still maintained a chilly
silence.
Deputy Sheriff John w. VoIlrner
had Hoy in charge and Matron Harris
of the county Jail looked after Mrs
Palmer. The latter requested that
she be assigned to the care of a wo-
man official. There are a number of
prisoners at the Jail awaiting trans

be cared for at present.
