DEATH PLOT IN OLIN

The little town of Olin was filled with excitement Wednesday when Albert 
Hartwig, a widower, and Mrs. Edward Miner were arrested charged with the 
murder of the latter’s husband, who died from the effects of taking poison, 
alleged to have been given him by his wife, and purchased by Hartwig at the 
Macomber drug store in Olin. It appears that Mrs. Miner was infatuated with 
Hartwig and it is thought by authorites that they conspired to put Miner out 
of the way, so that they could marry. The woman claims that her husband 
committed suicide and denies that she had attempted to take her own life, but 
attending physicians state that she had swallowed poison after learning that 
she was to be accused of the crime. Hartwig is now in the county jail at 
Anamosa and the woman is being guarded at her home in Olin.
