On May 1, 1922, police in Cleveland jailed a local woman on suspicion of poisoning her husband for the sum of $ 11,000 in life insurance. Announcing her arrest the next day, prosecutor Edward Stanton told reporters that the suspect had been married five times, divorcing her first two husbands, after which the next three died in mysterious circumstances. Two children fathered by her first husband had also died years before, reportedly from "accidental" consumption of poison tablets kept around the house. The suspect sat in jail, her name withheld from newsmen, while authorities exhumed the corpse of husband number five, deceased in May of 1921. Acquaintances recalled the woman saying of her mate, "I would like to get rid of him. I would like to give him poison." Several weeks before he died, she told a creditor, "I've got $5,000 coming within a couple of weeks." It came as no surprise, therefore, when arsenic was found in the remains, on May 5, 1922, and prosecutors spoke of digging up the other victims , one of them interred at Pittsburgh. There, incredibly, the story ends. Although the case had been reported in the Cleveland press and in the New York Times, it disappeared without a trace beyond May 7, 1922, the suspect still unnamed. A search of the official files, conducted by police in Cleveland during April 1988, revealed no documents relating to the prisoner, her victims, or the full-scale homicide investigation that made headlines at the time. At this time, it is impossible to gather further information, and the case remains as it began, in mystery.
