Description
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 March 2, 1936 reads, "Here is a striking candid camera study of Hazel Glab in the shadows of a Los Angeles courtroom today when she went on trial charged with the eight-year-old murder of her husband, John I. Glab, wealthy retired druggist. Mrs. Glab, who denies the charge, was calm and cool as her trial got under way."
