MRS. SUSAN rs
GRANTED NEW
COURT TRIAL
Supreme Court Says Alleged
Murderess Unfairly Quot
ed on Husbands Death;
Former Local Residents

A new trial was granted Anton
la Susan, formerly of Kennewick,
niddle-aged woman, who was SEN
tenced to a life sentence in the
state penitentiary on a charge of
numbering her husband, Frank, by
the Benton county superior court
yesterday by the supreme court at
Olympia, according to press dis
patches.
The lower court was reversed on
the grounds that error was COM
mitted in permitting the state to
introduce prejudicial testimony in
rebuttal.
At the time of Mr.. Susan's
death, Mr.. and Mrs. Susan were
living on small tract on the High
lands which they acquired in 1927.
On August 5 of that year, Susan,
who had been drunk for several
days, was found out by hay
stack near the barn with his head
battered in. He was taken to the
Pasco hospital where he died before
night. He had been found by Gus
Jessburger when he had gone to
the Susans to look for horse
(which Susan had borrowed couple
days previously.
An autopsy showed death caused
by hemmorhage of the brain, re-
sulting from a blow from blunt
instrument. The defense contend
ed that Susan might have been
struck while lying on the ground
by one of the horses in the field.
The testimony on which the su-
preme court reversed the super
ior court was given by C. C. Duff
fly, police Office of Kennewick at
the time of the trial. He said that
Mrs. Susan had been questioned for
six or seven hours. He quoted the
defendant as saying, II might go
free. You say killed my man. |
kill my man with a big knife"
"The appellant, woman of mid
die age, poorly educated, of feeble
intelligence, laboring to under
stand and express herself in a Ian
,guage which was foreign to her is
said to have exclaimed, Well,
kill said the court, adding it
was unfair to introduce such test
imony after the hours of answer
ing questions and hearing suggest
ions that she was guilty of her
husbands murder.
Mrs. Susan has been confined in
the Yakima county jail since her
trial, pending the decision of the
supreme court.
