A day @r so later a police officer ir saw one of the car in an alley pa near Fifth street. The man made his escape but an investigation of working on a leling Durbin, bune foodstuffs. Then Mrs. Sweetin ad- mitted killing her husband. Their reason was that they might carry on the'r “true love’ and that their legal mates were “obstacles.” ‘The trial lasted three weeks and in that time the love affair was air- ed before a crowded court room, most of the crowd being Ina town: people who had started the back- fence gossip. A verdict was returned the day before Christmas—l'fe imprison ment for Hight and 35 yeurs for Mrs. Sweetin. An appeal was eee but it was oerruled today. Love vows were shattered and one-time affection has turned to hate for Mrs. Sweetin’s comment to- day: “I'm innocent. But that pastor— I don't see why they didn’t hang him.” LEADER EXPANSION SALE STARTS TOMORROW WITH RECORD PRIGE SLASHING In order that room may be made for a new stock of popular priced Girl Reserve Activities.

The three house robberies which the pair are believed to have been principals in! include that of the Glenn Littlefield home on South Park, the John Huber home South Beech and the John Shika home on West Eleventh.
