POISONED RIVAL
JEALOUS OF TRADE SUCCESS Antoinette Peinot, a mis-shapen woman barely 4ft 6in in height, sat on a high stool in the dock at\ Moulins Assizes recently charged with having poisoned a woman friend. For many years she kept a milliner’s shop in the little town of LurcyLevy. Failing to make it pay, she sold it to a war widow, Mme. Marie Louise Guillon, a bright and smiling woman ' who, with her pretty 14-year-old daughter, rapidly made the shop a success. Peinot, who had opened a book shop next door, was jealous of Mme. Guillon’s success, and after her rival’s sudden death 1 she confessed that she had used rat poison to kill the woman she hated. Peinot was sentenced to penal servitude for life.
