The tongues of Ina, Illinois, were already wagging about the friendship between the Reverend Lawrence Hight, the local circuit-riding Methodist preacher, and the pretty young housewife Elsie Sweetin when their spouses turned up dead from similar sudden illnesses just a couple of months apart in the summer and fall of 1924. Was it food poisoning as the doctors first said? Or something more sinister? True Crime Historian Richard O Jones recounts the gossip, the confessions and the trials of the couple that came to be known as "The Poison Pair of Little Egypt."
