WIDOW OF DEAD
MAN, AND LOVER,
ADMIT MURDER

GARY, Ind, April IL. VIM. A
Donaldson, SS year old Gary steel
worker and Mrs. Virginia Mullins, A
confessed today that they plotted the
death of Mrs. Mullins husband
Joseph. who was shot and killed last
week as he walked through a Gary
park with his wife.
The slayingi .paralleling the
"Grandma" Eliza Nusbaum case in
Chicago, followed two unsuccessful
attempts to lure Mullins, foreman in
a Gary steel mill to his death and
came after Donaldson had induced him
to take out $4,000 life insurance,
according to statements of the couple.
Donaldson, boarder in the Mullins
home had been friendly with Mrs.
Mullins for years and she said they
intended to get married.
The confessions came after the
couple had been questioned intermit-
tently for several days, and after
Donaldson once had been released
and then taken into custody again
Donaldson said he and Mrs. Mullins
had picked the place in the park
where he would hide and that Mrs
Mullins then lured her husband there
on the pretext that she wanted him
to accompany her to visit a neigh
bor few nights previously they
had tried to lure Mullins up an alley
to the home of another neighbor, but
he insisted on taking another route
Donaldson met the Mullins in
Texas. Mrs. Mullins said and finally
followed them to Gary where he
rented a room from them. Donald
son worked at night and her hus-
band in the daytime, she said. Mrs.
Mullins in the presence of her five
children and Donaldson earlier in
the day had told of love affair
with Donaldson and two of her sons
were restrained by the authorities
from attacking him.
Donaldson was booked on a charge
of murder after his statement but
no charge was made against Mrs
Mullins and the authorities said none
would be made until an inquestion is
completed over the body of her hus-
band.
The case in many respects paralle1ed
the Nusbaum murder in Chicago which
Mrs. Eliza Nusbaum, a grandmother
plotted the death of her husband
Albert, so she might marry John
Winn, former convict. Winn killed
Nusbaum and now is awaiting death
while Mrs. Nusbaum was sent &c
prison for life.

Her statement was reinforced by
the oral or written testimony of the
witnesses she introduced and who at
times passed before the committee
in such rapid succession that even
the official stenographers had diff

i Wet senators and New York and
Maryland came in for attack from
some of the women. Mrs Peabody
urged that there be a strengthen

The women interrupted the vets
in the presentation Of their case. This
was referred to twice by witnesses,

citation of the courtesy of the wet
