HUSBAND POISONERS
AMAZING REVELATIONS IN A BERLIN COURT. BY telegraph-press association. —Copyright. Berlin, March 15. The amazing correspondence of two murderesses was revealed in the Berlin Criminal Court. The writers, Ella Klein, a carpenter's wife, and Margaret Nebbe, were charged with conspiring to poison their husbands with rat cake, With which coffee, porridge, and soup were daily dosed. The carpenter died, but Ncbbe’s husband escaped with a permanent injury to his health. The wives, meanwhile, exchanged six hundred letters, which provide damning evidence. The letters were couched in terms of extravagant affection, and include full details of how the poison was administered. The defence is that the two husbands were men of debased character, and drove the women to the verge of insanity by ill-treatment. Much of the evidence was given in camera.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
