heme taken from the flesh an inch
deep below her right sbonld Jbladc,
When the presence of the needles
were first discovered in her, body
Mrs. Seely said she had no idea how
they came there. Her husband also
professed entire ignorance on the
subject. Among the theories ad
vanced was one that they had been
driven into the flesh last July by a
stroke of lightning which killed two
men near the house where the Seelys
lived. It was afterward learned that
Mrs. Seely was not within two miles
of the place, where the lightning
struck.
Mrs. Seely now declares that the
needles and pins were driven in her
body at different times by Mrs. Geo.
Robinson, of Sardinia, who was in
love with her husband, for the pur
pose of slowly causing her death.
She &ays she was placed under the
influence of morphine by Mrs.: Rob
inson while she was ill, and the pins
and needles were then forced beneath
the flesh. This statement led to an
examination of the woman's husband
on Saturday. He at first denied all
knowledge of the matter j but finally
said that while he was lying helpless
in bed last summer, Mrs. Robinson
came to thtir house. He saw; her
give a quantity pf whitish liquid to
his wife which made her unconscious.
Mrs. Robinson then broke a number
of pins and needles and pushed them
into his wife's flesh. Whn he pro
tested she told him tha)t if he whis
