After about 11 hours of deliberation, a Richland County District Court Jury reported
at 10:20 PM. , Sat\irday, announcing their decision that August L. Pusch is guilty of first
degree murder for the poison slaying of his wife.
State law provides a life sentence with no alternative and the jury verdict specified
"punishment at imprisonment in the penitentiary for life."

contrast with the crowds that jammed out into the corridors dviring the lurid testimony of
and about Lydia Witt, who told she had bought strychnine and helped Pusch pack it into cap-
sules which were supposed to be vitamin pills .
The state charged that Pusch had given one of the pills to his wife and that it had
killed her.
Vernon Johnson, attorney for Pusch asked that sentence be delayed one week as his
associate council, Roger Dell, was to have been in another court Monday. Vernon Forbes,
Richland County's State's Attorney, said he had no objection to the delay in sentencing.
Judge W. H. Hutchinson announced Monday that he has set the time for sentencing at
10 AM., Saturday Dec. 18th. At the same time a trial date will be set for Mrs. Lydia Witt,
who also faces a first degree murder charge.

LOCAL FARMER KILLED, WIFE, FOUR OTHERS HURT IN CRASH
One person was killed and four others injiored Wednesday night in a two car collision
one and a half miles southeast of Hankinson at the junction of State Highway No. 11 and the
county road that turns off to New Effington, SD.
Killed instantly was Arthur Korth, Sr., 54, farmer, who resided about seven miles
south of Hankinson. The list of injured:
Mrs. Korth. treated for a fractiired back, fractured ribs and possible internal inj-
lories . Arthur Korth, Jr., 8 .... fractured leg. Donald Korth, 11. ...sore knee. Dorothy
Korth, 18. .. .Lacerations over eyes. Howard G. Palmer, Ortonville . . . . cuts and bruises.
Three Korth children, Delores, Elmer and Alfred, and Sgt. Melvin Wahl, passenger in
the Palmer car, address unknown, were shaken up in the accident but were released following
medical excimination .
Mrs. Korth was listed as "critical" at the St. Francis Hospital, Breckenridge , and
Arthur and Donald and Palmer were still being held for further treatment. Dorothy was re-
leased today.
According to informed sources, the mishap occurred about 8 PM when Arthur Korth, Sr.,
driving a 1939 Chevrolet north on the New Effington road, failed to stop when turning into
the highway. Palmer's car, a 1948 Kaiser, traveling southwest out of Hankinson, struck the
Korth car on the driver's side, pushing it off the road cind into the ditch. Arthur Korth, Sr.
was killed instantly.
Dr. F. B. Schleinitz, Hankinson, administered medical attention and then arranged for
ambulance transportation to the St. Francis Hospital. Hxindreds of cars clogged the highway
in the next hour to view the accident vehicles, and knots of people gathered along Hankinson 's
main street awaiting word of the injured.
Late Wednesday evening the cars were hauled into the used auto yard of the Hankinson
Auto Co., where people have been inspecting the great damage that restilted from the collision.
The Korth car was bent in bowshape on the driver's side where the Kaiser hit it head-on.
(188)
windows were broken and seats overturned. The front end of the Kaiser was ptished back
and the hood creased and crumpled like a wad of paper.
Members of the family said Korth was bringing the family to town where Mrs . Korth
was to view piirchases her husband had made earlier in the afternoon at a funriture sale in
Hankinson. ********** Augiist 25, 1949
