intermittently throughout the night.
It was not until tho most urgent argu
ments were presented by tho ton men
in favor of conviction that the other
two were prevailed upon to change
their votes.
Tho crime for which Mrs. Myers
was convicted was ono of tho most
atrocious ever committed. According!
to tho story of her parnmour, Frank
Hottman, who confessed to being nn
accomplico with Mrs. Myers in the)
murder of her husband, tho crime wns
premeditated and wns executed in tho I
most brutal manner. Hottman was)

Myers, In accordance with a prear
ranged plan to kill Clarenco Myers.
After Mrs. Myers had administered a
drug to her husband to compel sloop,
Hottman went to tho bertsldo or tho
sleeping man and dealt him a blow
with a billiard cue. This served to
arouso Myers, who grappled with
Hottman, and as tho latter was Intox
icated, Myers was getting tho better
or tho fight, when Mrs. Myers struck
her husband with a bed slat and later
cut bis throat with n razor repeatedly.
Sho then stabbed tho dying man In
tho back a hair dozen times with a
pair of scissors. Tho confession of
Hottman was the strongest evidence
or tho stato atalnst Mrs. Myers.
Hottman testified voluntarily against
tho woman and he was offered no Im
munity by the prosecution.
