THE BUDAPEST MURDERS
FURTHER SENTENCES. [United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.] BUDAPEST, Dec. 16. At the poisoning trial, Juliana Lipke was sentenced to death, and three other women to life imprisonment. The detection of the murders had been long postponed, because the local coroner, -who was related to the midwife, Olali, returned verdicts of natural causes. ■ ; Olali and another midwife began by supplying poison to kill unwanted babies, and then went on to supply larger doses for adults. The defence demanded an inquiry mto the difficulties of earning the meagrest livelihood in overcrowded districts, of small holdings surrounded by vast poorly cultivated estates; alleging isolation and hopeless poverty were responsible, for menfolk’s only recreation being heavy drinking.
