Dolbow te | plan with Norman Driscoll the slaying of her husband, Sheriff Hubert Lay- | ton disclosed today. | ‘Two fortunes aggregating $140,000, officials said, were withheld from the 28-year-old school teacher because of her marriage to Harry Y. Dolbow, | plodding tenant farmer, who was beaten to death with the iron axle | ©f & harrow as he did his chores last | Friday night. The possibility that by disposing of | him she might win her way to wealth | provided the “main motive” for the crime, Sheriff Layton said. | “I have verified the fact that the| sum of $140,000 was involved,” he de- | clared. “I figure that it was the main motive in the slaying of Dolbow.” Love Secondary Motive. | State police consider the revival of a childhood love affair between Mrs. Dolbow and Driscoll' as a secondary motive of the crime for which they | are charged. Corp. Wilfred Dubbie, detailing points in the alleged “money motive,” £aid the wife and her farmer friend “plotted to do away with Dolbow with the intention of getting married and gaining $40.000 left to Mrs. Dolbow | by an uncle.” Mrs. Dolbow was unable to get the | money, Dubbie said, because it “was tied up in such a way that Mrs. Dol- bow's mother had entire discretion as to when it was to be turned over to | her.” | “The mother, Mrs. Genevieve Kirlin | Fox, never liked Dolbow,” Dubbie ex- | plained, “and did not let her daughter | have the money after she married him.” Hoped to Share Trust Fund. Dubbie disclosed “they also hoped | eventually to share in another $100,000 | trust fund created by Mrs. Dolbow’s | father, John Kirlin.” wealthy South Jersey land owner. “That money is now in possession | of Mrs. Dolbow's mother and her sunt,” the State policeman said. “At their death Mrs. Dolbow and Driscoll, | {f they were married, could expect to gain possession of it.” Dubbie pointed out that the money may also explain why Driscoll gave his estranged wife $2,000 to enable her to divorce him.
