tle woman In bl--t, stepped from
the train today, dashed through
group of newspapermen and pho
tographers and climbed Into an auto
mobile which carried her again to
the prison from which she escaped
15 months ago to Interrupt a sen
tence for .the death of her fourth
husband.
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.
David Mlnton, allegedly confessed
assistant In her escape, awaits in
the local county Jail the trial that
may send him to prison again.
Brought from Topeka, Kas, where
she was arrested last Saturday on
a tip given by Mlnton, she was wel
comed at the train by dozens of
Boise residents who know of her
mainly through the many news
stories which have been written
about her In the dozen years of her
career.
An elderly woman pressed her
hand, a half dozen women shouted
"Hello, Lyda,' as she sought the
privacy of the prison automobile.
"Hello, everybody," she answered
cheerily.
