Title supplied by cataloger. In 1935, authorities reopened the investigation into the shooting death of Hazel Belford Glab's third husband, John I. Glab, a wealthy retired Chicago Druggist whose mysterious death seven years earlier had remained unsolved. In April 1936, while already serving a prison term of 2 to 14 years in the Tehachapi Women's Prison after being found guilty of forgery and preparing false evidence in the Albert Llewellyn Cheney estate case, Hazel Glab was convicted of second-degree murder for killing John Glab, the sentence being seven-years-to-life. Surprisingly, though, she was out of prison in 1943 after serving only 7 years. Photograph article dated January 13, 1936 reads, "Also summoned to testify are Mrs. Esther Wilson, at left, who was a maid in the Glab home, and Mrs. W. S. Goodrich, at right, neighbor of the Glabs. Mrs. Goodrich says she saw the shooting. Jurors seek to learn if she recognized the woman assertedly seen fleeing from the scene after the shooting."
