DEBRECZEN, Hungary, Jan. 28—(AP) Amazing scenes were enacted here today when nine women charged with poisoning their husbands and other relatives in order to get property were placed on trial for their lives.
Among the state's evidence were 16 exhumed bodies as well as many phials of poison and dissected human organs which made ghastly exhibits in the courtroom.
Dressed in their homely sheepskins, shawls, leather boots, and bandanna hoods, the prisoners, all of whom are peasants, presented a picture of artlessness and innocence which seemed completely belied by the evidence of their alleged crime.
