Poison Minimized As Weapon of Criminals
Nancy Jeanette Holt, a 27 year old divorcee with two children, was convicted of first degree murder for poisoning her husband Jesse Holt with arsenic, phosphorous, and strychnine in Waynesburg Pennsylvania. Prosecution said jealousy and insurance profits spurred the crime as special agents noted the shift toward poison as a death weapon and the tightening controls on toxic substances.
