JUob WdiiltI 10 put JIe woman
out of her suffering" the nurse
was quoted by police.
That one Or more OF the bodies
OF other patients might be exhumed
from cemeteries in Rhode Island and
Massachusetts appeared possible as
authorities considered a theory of
mass mercy murders.
Recalls Old Case
This theory recalled the case of
Jane TOppan, an insane MaSSa
chusetts nurse who killed 81 patients
some IS years ago before she was
committed to an asylum
In her reputed confession, Miss
SeVlgny was quoted as follows:
"On Wednesday, Dec. II. my
patient. Mrs Normandin, was UNI
easy, and hard to handle. She
woke up about $50 in the morning.
l gave her the medicine prescribed
by the doctor. and a cup of coffee
about 7:30 that morning.
Mr.. Normandin left for work
about 7:30, Then the children went
to school.
Son Returns Unexpectedly
1T was then I concocted the idea
OF killing her. l had read of mercy
killings in the newspapers but 7
won't say that actuated me in this
case. l just wanted to put the
woman out of her suffering.
L figured 1 would give her am
monia. I found bottle in the
bathroom with big poison label
on it. Then I got a green colored
glass and l put in about one and
one-half inches of the ammonia. It
turned white and looked like milk.
Then I told her to drink it. I
said it would would do her good.
She drank it,"
AT 8 a. m. Mrs. Normandin's 12-
year-old son Oscar returned home
unexpectedly, having forgotten his
lunch. When he entered the house.
he told the police. the nurse was
acting strangely. He heard his
mother scream.
