Widow Cleared in Poisoning Death of Husband
Mrs. Bisselle Kauffman, 38, was cleared of suspicion in the death of her husband Dr. John Kauffman, 40, whose body was found in a San Bernardino Mountains cabin. A coroner jury ruled death by own action and recommended release from custody. The case stemmed from a claim of a drinking dispute and blows with a ski boot, but doctors found the fatal dose of bichloride of mercury in the stomach.
