It was stated freely that she was prepared to de fend herself on the grounds that she know how American u prejudice would affect the children and that her only ob ject in slaying them was to save them from the pain, the anguish and the humilations that she had been forced to undergo since she married a man who was not of her race.
Now she is dead and the case is officially closed. But the lesson of her tragic end and the end of her children will not soon be forgotten.
Those who fell victims of American prejudice were: Bryan, Elinor, Allen, Alice, Elaine and Wayne Yeldem and Elden Geller, by Mrs.

Calling her brood together on May 6, Mrs. Yeldem dressed each of the children carefully.
