Poisoned Her Husband - She Then Married Again and is Now in Jail

Lenoir, Dec 24 - Some six months ago Foy Green, who lived in Globe township, 
this county, died suddenly after having taken a glass of cider carried to him 
by his wife while at work in the field. Within a few weeks, Mrs. Green married 
one Franklin, with whom, it is said, she had been on too intimate terms.

Suspicion was aroused and the body of Green was taken up, the stomach being 
removed and sent to the State Chemist for analysis. This seems to have 
resulted in the discovery of a quantity of arsenic in the stomach. Sheriff 
Boyd received instructions by wire on Saturday to arrest the parties thought 
to have been implicated in the affair.

Albert Franklin, husband No. 2, had just served a six month term in the county 
jail, and was arrested - the charge being murder - as he stepped out the jail 
door. Mrs. Franklin was also placed in jail here yesterday, both to await 
their trial at the spring term of court.
