Hight Ousted From Ministry in Illinois Case
At the southern Illinois conference Rev. Lawrence M. Hight of Inn was banished from the ministry and church membership on charges of killing his wife and facilitating the poisoning of Wilford Sweetin to marry Mrs. Sweetin. The action, via a select number, was framed as formal but understood as final Mount Vernon, Illinois. Mrs. Wilford Sweetin, jailed in Salem, talks of the murder and of nightly visits by her dead husband while naming Hight as the associate in the crime. She claims he doped her with candy to compel her actions and recalls Wilford’s visits. Her condition worsens, aided only by milk as doctors and relatives observe her decline and three sons react violently to their mother’s actions.
