Unregistered Nurse Tells or Mercy Killing" Deaths

T figured I would give her am- monia. found bottle in the bath room with a big poison label on it. Then got a green-colored glass and I 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 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 police, he noticed that the nurse was acting strangely. He heard his mother scream. T asked the nurse what the trouble was," Os- car said, land she told me mother had taken ammonia and was in agony" The boy raced upstairs and found his mother on the bathroom floor. He assisted her back to bed, he related, and the nurse did not help him.

Woonsocket, R. l., Dec. 17-(UP) -Buxom, brown-eyed Marie Simone Sevigny, 26 year old unregistered nurse, was held as a self-Styled mercy killer" today while police in- vestigated the deaths of eight of her former patients. Miss Sevigny, who said she had a sister in an insane asylum and that another sister died in the same institution 8 year ago, allegedly had confessed to the poison murder of Mrs. J. Valmore Norman din, wife of Rhode Island politi- clan. T just wanted to put the woman out of her suffering" the nurse was quoted by police. That one or more of the bodies of the eight other patients might be ex- humed from cemeteries in Rhode Island and Massachusetts appeared possible as authorities considered @ theory of mass mercy murders. This theory recalled the case of Jane Top pan, an insane Massachusetts nurse who killed 31 patients some 35 years ago before she was committed to an asylum.
 In her reputed confession Miss Sevigny was quoted as follows:
 "On Wednesday, December II, my patient, Mrs. Normandin, was un- easy, and hard to handle. She woke up about 6:3O in the morning. I gave her the medicine prescribed by the doctor, and cup of coftee about 7:3O that morning.
 MT. Normandin was shaving in the bathroom. and left for work about 7:30 in the morning. Then the children went to school.
 "It was then I concocted the idea of killing her. I had reed of mercy killings in the newspapers but l won't ssy that actuated me in this case. I just wanted to put the woman out of her suffering.
