bombin She said she took Su
san home when Mrs. Smith was
arrested for complicity in her
husband's death.

charges and obtained a court or
der for the return of her child,
but Mrs. Hightower refused to
give up the girl on grounds Mrs.
Smith was an unfit mother.

nearly in tears, denied that she
had anything to do with the
death of her husband or that she
had ever been intimate with
Laurence Wolf, the man convict
ed of the slaying.
