“ TWO HUSBAND DIED SUDDENLY. While the Widow Languishes in Prison, the Authorities Have Ordered Body of Last One Exhumed. FOUL PLAY IS SUSPECTED. Hired Man Was Woman's Accomplice and Developments Promise to Parallel Notorious Jane Toppan Sensation. WRENTHAM, Mass. Oct. 18.—The possibility that this town is involved in @ murder sensation similar to the no- torlous one of which Jane Toppan, the |" nurse, was the central Ngure a fow months ago, has startled the country hereabout. The majority of the resi- dents knew nothing definite about the matter until to-day, when it was learned that suspicions that B. H. Guild, who Med here last July, about a month after his marriage to Mrs. Jennie Wilbur, a) nurse, was a victim of foul pley, had Prompted District-Attorney Asa P. French to order the body of Guild to be exhumed #o that an autopsy might be held to determine, if possible, whether or not death was due to poisoning. The action of the District-artorney is said to be due to evidence that Mr. Guild, a few days previous to his death, was in normal health, and that his brief illness was marked by symptoms which would have been caused by poison. It Js claimed also, that Martin Wilbur, of Windsor, Conn., the first husband of Mrs. Guild, died under similar circum- stances, The woman at present is serving a fifteen months’ sentence at Sherburne Prigon for forging Mr. Guild's name to @ note for $27. Sydney Withington, a farm hand employed by Mr. Guild, and to whom the note was made payable, is in the Reformatory as an accomplice of Mrs, Guild in the forgery. Gulld was Gilty-two years of.age and Mrs. Guild is thirty. Widow Is Suspected.

As n the Toppan case, it {8 a woman who is the central figure. Again she is a nurse whose calling in life was tle tender care of the sick and helpless. As In the Toppan case, at least two mysterious, sudden deaths are under investigation, and if a third is not proved, the strange disappearance of the man ¢oncerned makes a notable episode in the story. ‘The fact that Mrs, Guild's first hus- band died in 18% very suddenly, mani- feating symptoms very similar to those shown when Mr, Guild died, and the fact that another man, to whom she was supposed to be married in the in- terim Wetween the two husbands, dis- appeared as mysteriously as if the earth had swallowed him up, are con- spicuous elements in the situation.
