Attorneys and court attaches gasp- ed in surprise at the new Mrs. Klimek, described during her first trial as “greasy” and “unkempt,” and | |appearing day after day in the slov- tenly garb of the allen tenement dweller. She was impressed apparently by the fate of that other stolid peasant | woman, Mrs. Sabelle Nittl Crudelle, | sentenced last week to be hanged for | 1 killing her husband, and gossip at the county jail that such a verdict | would not have been returned had Mrx. Crudelle been more attractive. Mrs. Klimek’s case and that of Mrs. Nellle Koulik, her cousin, who faces a like charge, were continued until Au- gust. The two women were indicted after the bodies of several of their deceased husbands and other relatives had been exhumed and quantities of poison found in the bodies. Attorneys for the state indicated that Mrs. Kou- lik probably would be brought to trial, but that in view of the verdict already standing against Mrs. Klimek, the other cases against her might be dropped.
