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 January 13, 1936 reads, "Called as a witness was W. R. McIntyre at right, former Los Angeles policeman, who claims Mrs. Glab told him her husband had threatened to leave her. At left is Thomas C. Harris, who was a gardener at the home next to the house where Glab was shot to death."
