is a wellfare worker with two children & he was living with her & having her to use ever since he was twelve years old she also had another man come there on a bicicle she also ruined this they have testified to. she wanted to marry the man with wife & three children so went out there with a can of poison hamburg steak. they were sent to the hospital but are recovering from the effects of the poison meat. she is out on bail. it seems they had a pantry full of canned stuff she stole from where she works. they opened & examined every can but found it all right. the can she gave to them was marked from Texas & an old label. she is Richard Wards second wifes daughter, by a former husband. it will be in all the Papers & was over the radio last night & this morning at eight O'clock. Addie called us up & last night Gertrude told us about it when she got home, so we knew what was going on without entertaining the officers & reporters 'till one O'clock in the morning. I dont pity the woman over accross much. lucky they did not die of the poison & as to her other offences she may have to answer to it later. the sun is going down now its a little warmer but going to be a cold night with snow possibly to night. glad your shoulder is a trifle better & you dont have as much pain, do be careful. you have got to go slow. Its always the ambitious ones who get used up. bring the little one up to do little things its good for her & she will like it. Ma
