unhappy MARRIAGES. " ' BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT , LONDON, Nov. 2. Ethel Sims, the young wife of 1 a Nottinghamshire miner, might claim the most tragic marriage record of any woman in England. Her first and second husbands were killed in the war, the third was fatally injured in a colliery accident, and the i fourth, Arthur "--Sims, aged twentyfoiir, was sentenced to death for the murder of his wife’s nine-year-old sister, who was found strangled by a bootlace under a hedge. There was no motive, for the crime, as Sims and the child were devoted to each other. The jury rejected the plea that Sims’ mind was unbalanced owing to the hardship and cruelty endured in a German prison camp.
