outside the courtroom with tears In
his eyes.
"I never lost faith." he said hug
ging relatives and friends.
Then he dropped to his knees,
kissing the shoes of his defense at
torney, Hyman Burshay.
The embarrassed lawyer helped
Feldman to his feet, whereupon the
druggist kissed Barshay on the cheek.
"I thank the Judge for a Just and
fair trial" Feldman said to news
men. "I thank the Jury for the ver
dict." First Death
Feldman married his wife, Harriet,
In 1840, after a marriage broker ar
ranged their meeting. A year later,
the bride' mother died In agony,
scresmlng "Don't touch my feet."
Feldman' wife got half of the
$M.0O0 Insurance left by her mother.
Two years later, Feldman's 23-year-old
wife then pregnant, was
overcome with convulsions and was
taken to a hospital. Like her mother,
she died screaming of pain In her
feet.
Suspicion
Her aunt, Mrs. Beatrice Hoffberg,
became suspicious. She learned that
foot pains are a symptom of strych
nine poisoning.
Bne persuaded authorities to In
vestigate. The bodies of the two
women eventually were exhumed
and their organs were found to con
tain strychnine.
The state charged that druggist
Feldman murdered his wife to obtain
possession of ner share of her moth
er's Insurance. '
In 1946 a Jury found him guilty
after deliberating 58 minutes. Feld
man, taken to Sing Sing to twslt
execution, wa spared when the court
of appeals ruled the verdict was not
Justified by the evidence.
Tried a second time In 1948, Feld
man again was convicted. This time,
the Jury was out four hours. Back to
the death house went Feldman. But

by a narrow 4-1 margin saved Feld-
