Mrs. Henry Wright, whose husband died at Loyal on the 9th, under suspicious circumstances, and who, with Daniel Allen, a prominent farmer of the town of Loyal, were placed under arrest, made a confession to the authorities at Neillsville, in which she confessed to poisoning her husband. She admits having been criminally intimate with Allen for nearly two years, and says that they planned to poison Wright, then Mrs. Allen, after which they intended to marry. She claims that Allen purchased arsenic at Milwaukee a few weeks ago and she administered the poison to Wright under his direction. Allen was placed under arrest as an accessory, and placed under $10,000 bail. Mr. Wright was a half brother of Mrs. M. McGivern and the Misses Walterbach's of this city.
