HER SECOND HUSBAND
MURDERER OF THE FIRST SHERIFF OBTAINS CONFESSION ST. GEORGE (Utah), Nov. 18. (Received Nov. 19, at 5.5 p.m.) Mrs Charles Bosshard finally knows the truth about her two husbands. Her first was slain and buried in an abandoned well near the ranch house where she lives, and she has been married two years to the man who killed him. Spencer Malan, the first husband, when angry, always threatened to desert her. He finally disappeared in 1935, and she reluctantly obtained a divorce and married Bosshard, who treated her kindly. Neighbourhood rumours, however, spread and the sheriff obtained a confession from Bosshard and Mrs Bosshard s brother that both killed Malan after a drunken brawl.
