Grandmother Says Ice Cream Treat Was Husband's Only Kind Act
Chicago, Ill - (AP) - In the 44 years of their married life her 65-year-old paralytic husband's one kind art was to buy her ice cream once, while John Walton Winn, a former convict loved her and waited I5 years for him to die. This was the defense of Mrs Eliza Nussbaum, 58-year-old grandmother In the confession which police pay she made of plotting with Wynn and three others to kill her husband, Albert, whose battered body was found Wednesday on a south side prairie.
Winn, at a pistol's point, compelled Edward Goff to kill Nussbaum with an axe, Goff said In a confession. With two pairs of Ice tongs Winn and Goff hauled the body into the attic of the home of Mrs Delilah Martin, held as an accessory. After supper they redressed the body, loaded it into Nussbaum's sedan, and carried it to the prairie, abandoning plans to burn the house or bury the body in a grave dug in the back yard.
Five Held
Winn, 37, was arrested in Crown Point, Ind, and brought to Chicago early Thursday. Held also were Goff, Mrs Martin and Marion Stringham, whose clothes were used to garb the body. First accusation against the grandmother came from her oldest son, Roscoe, father of eight children. His son, Lloyd, 20, was then under arrest after police found a part of the grandfather's skull and bloodstains in an automobile Lloyd, was driving In efforts to shield his son, Roscoe told of the love affair of 15 years' duration between his mother and Winn. She gave Winn $250 a month of his father's money, Roscoe said. Once his father shot Winn through the head.
Find Diary
Unemotionally and without regret, the police said, Mrs Nussbaum told how she and Winn had planned for a long time to kill her husband, after a stroke of paralysis had failed to prove fatal. A fragmentary diary, in which she expressed fear that her husband would kill her, was found in her purse when arrested. Detectives believe Winn was involved in a recent stock yards robbery. When arrested he had a small pistol of the type Goff described as used to threaten him. He served a penitentiary sentence in 1914 for robbery, police said.
