And 1t was because she loved
them that she killed them, she de-

made last night.
She was urged by a drawing in

old daughter, Mae, was spared be-
cause she had made trouble" for
her mother and was not loved well
enough to be chosen to accompany
her into death, said Mrs. Cunning

She denied that she had poisoned
her husband or Harry, their eldest
son, and maintained her denial even
after reporters informed her suf-
ficient poison had been found in
Hary's viscera to have caused his

accidentally were destroyed and she
herself bought fifty cents worth to
complete the deed. Bread. a layer
of arsenic, and covering OF butter
