NOTHER OF FOUR GETS SENTENE Death Penalty Given Indiana Woman —_— Chicago, May 20 UP—If Mrs. Cath- erine Cassler, Chicago's 190 pound Lady Macbeth, goes to the gallows as a jury yesterday decreed, it will be the first execution of a woman in the history of Cook County (Chi- cago.) Four ballots were taken by the jury. The first fixed her Ruilt as| an active conspirator in the slaying, December 6, last, of Willlam Lind- strom. The fourth decided her pun- | ishment. Mrs. Cassler, 35 year old mother of four children is to be formally sentenced June 3, together with her co-conspirators, Mrs. Lillian Fraser and Lorgn Patrick, both of whom confessed and waived trial. Mra. Frazer left her home several years ago to live with Lindstrom, and it was because she had tired of his love and coveted $7,500 insur- ance he carried that she conspired with Mrs. Cassler and Patrick to do away with him, according to her confession and Patrick’s. Patrick' struck the death blow with a lead pipe after Mrs. Cassler had plotted the crime, he testified. Mrs. Cassler was able to influence *Patrick to commit the murder, he sald, because she had obtained his release from an Indiana penal in- stitution where he was held for bootlegging by paying his fine. Twice before in Cook county his- tory a woman has been sentenced to geath, but in each case the execu- tion never took place. The first wo- man sentenced to dle was Maggie Tutter, a Creole. That was 30 years ago. She was reprieved. Mrs. Sa- belle Nitti Crudelle, convicted ot slaying her husband, was the other | woman, but she was freed after be- ing granted a new trial. “I hope the wives of all jurors die,” were Mrs. Cassler's first words after hearing the death ver- dict. She was calm, however, and said that death by hanging suited her better thhn life imprisonment. Mrs. Cassler protested her inno- cence throughout, although she said she probably should have been glven some punishment for concealing the other two after learning of the crime.

Bill. The coroner has questioned sev- | eral witnesses since the death of Irwin from a gun shot wound Mon- day night and has discovered that at least five shots were fired before the New York man received a charge of shot in the side which re- sulted in his death. Cline first fired two shots from the yard according to the coroner’'s version, and they shattered win- dows in a room where Irwin was standing. Cline then® entered the house and fired a third shot which pierced the wall leading to ‘the second floor. | Both Cline and Irwin were in the kitchen of the house when the last shots were fired. Cline, who had telephoned for medical ald-from a nearby house was found in the yard when an ambulance arrived from Willimantic. He had a shot gun in I'nis hands. The playwright, who 18 recovering | from a blood transfusion operation, | will appear before a justice of the | peace in Mansfield tomorrow morn- ing to face a charge yet unnamed. In the meantime, Coroner Bill is attempting to locate Mrs. Cline, who is said to have left the Cline home two weeks ago. | MRS, BASSETT ALWAYS TIRED | Now in Good Health by Using Lydia E.
