FULL TEXT: Szolnok, Hungary, Oct. 14 – The last group of thirty-two women tried this year on charges of poisoning their husbands and other relatives went on trial here today.
Nine women, accused of the poisoning for love or for gain, came before the court. All were between the ages of 55 and 70.
Five pleaded innocence. But Mrs. Louis Cser, who confessed having killed two of her children at their birth and her father-in-law, asked the court to give her the severest possible sentence so that she might expiate her terrible times.
