WEST NEW YORK NEW JERSEY The petite brunette wife of Wells to do embroidery manufacturer Michael Mortel today admitted her part in an abortive murder plot against her husband. Mrs Mortel 38 along with her brother Albert DeVarti 35 and Alexander Rafalko 37 were charged with atrocious assault and battery and assault with intent to kill and rob. The husband is in St Marys Hospital Hoboken after 39 stitches to his head. Police say Rafalko struck him with a lead hammer and DeVarti drove him to the Mortel apartment. A bathtub was to be filled and Mortel dumped in it. Mortel fought back and hurled a vase through a window. Mrs Mortel said she helped plot the attack because her husband neglected their marriage.
