the passengers were Doctor Bor-
bosa, of Lima, Peru. and Cedric
Trudgett, of the Chilean Review.
All of the other victims were
British.
Ihe dead in the mail plane crash

FORTNIGHT,
ARSENIC;
PASTOR
Mrs. SWeetin Must Go to Jail
for IS Years-Jury Out
All Night
By SONIA LEE,
international News Service.

MOUNT VERNON, ILL.,, Dec.
24.-The laws demand for the
life of Wilfred Sweetin was
meted out to Elsie Sweetin and
Reverend Lawrence M. Hight,
her pastor-lover today.
Hight must spend thefremainder
of his life in prison; Mrs. Sweetin
was sentenced to, thirtysfive, years
in the State penftentiAfy.
A jury of neighbors of the ac-
cused pair returned verdict Of
guilty early today, after an all
night session.
States Charges
She lost her husband but gained
a lover
"A life for a life.''
Remember your oath; before
your God do your duty"
These were among the phrases,
taken from the final indictments of
prosecutor Frank Thompson, which
must have passed back and forth in
the closed room during the night.
Softening them. however, was the
pleas of the defense-for Elsie, that
she was an innocent victim, more
Sinned against than SHINING; for
Hight. that he knew not what he
did
Elsie Stands Test Well.
The case was given to the jury
at 9:58 o'clock last night.
Elsie stood her zero hour well.
She showed no sign of collapse as
the judge made his charge to the
jury, instructing them in the law,
in the foreboding words which car
ried a premonition Of death and
sent chill through the court room
filled with avid curiosity seekers
who had stormed the doors in an
effort to be in at the final session.
OF the two it was the preacher
who gave the greater evidence of
fear. He, who had comforted so
many others and had spoken so
fluently of the after.life, seemed
panic stricken when the possibility
of its intimate acquaintance lowered
close. His lips were blanched, and
he clutched his chair tightly.

he wanted to. Sweeney told him to
try 1t. Carlton told Miss SweeEey
where he was and said he would
return at once to the prison. He
did so. He escaped by hiding
under a motor truck.
