And 12 years after she was con victed of the murder snd had listen ed to lurid details of the mysterious deaths of three' other husbands, a brother-in-law and her three-year-old child, she said: "I never felt I was guilty." A moment later she declared she was "genuinely relieved" to return to the prison from which she escaped May 4, 1931, two hours before mid night, to spend 15-months of free dom to marry again, to stir up an other "mystery" over a death, and to play a part In bringing another man back to prison.
