FULL TEXT (Article 1 of 2): Skolnok, Hungary, Dec. 14. –
Husband murders on an extensive scale, by middle-aged and older Hungarian
woman, are being investigated by the government here. Bodies of more than 30
persons have been exhumed for examination.
Szolnok has only 40,000 inhabitants, but a surprising number
have been charged with participation in the murders, which have not only
husbands, but other relatives. Officials
have received anonymous letters saying the murders will continue.
One of the accused who already has testified is Juliene
Lippka. She is alleged to have murdered seven relatives, including her mother,
her husband and an uncle. She charged another woman, Lydia Ola, aided her.
A woman named Rosa Holbye is accused of killing two of her
husbands. One of the accused women is 81 years old. Several others admitted administering poison in food.
