PREACHER HAD
MUCH PITY FOR
HIS ILL FRIENDS

MT. VERNON, ILL.,, Sept. 22.-With
the aid of bible, states attorney
Thompson secured signed confession
form the Rev. Lawrence M. Hight, ad-
hitting the murder of his wife and
MILFORD Sweeting, husband of a
woman with whom the preacher had
illicit relations.
The only defense the man Of God
offered for the murder was that both
were i'll when he dosed them with
arsenic and he wanted to relieve them
Of pain. Milford passed away sweet
ly, declared the divine and expressed
his faith in God in way that would
bring joy to the heart of any clergy
man.
Whether the court will consider
this mitigating evidence remains to
be SEEN The minister's confession
follows:
Kind Husbandl

self with grief at my wife's condition,

she was surely dying and wishing to
save her 1, early Wednesday morning,
Sept. 10, while Mrs. Lucy Laur, my
daughter, Marie Eaton and Mildred
Hight, were in the kitchen of my
home at Ina, and my son Robert, was
in bed at home, put some arsenic in
her coffee. My sole thought was to
ease her pain in her dying moments"
The Sweetin confession reads;
81 placed some arsenic in glass of
water and gave it to MILFORD Sweetin.
He was i'll in bed and l VIZ sure he
was dying. My motive was to make
his last moments easier"
AS a postscript to this he added:
"And there was never anything be-
tween Elsie Sweetin and myself in
any way"
