The Oconto Lumberman
April 30, 1887
P.T. Williams returned from Green Bay Thursday where he was summoned as a witness in the Soquet murder trial. Mr. Williams was related to Soquet’s second wife who was poisoned by the prisoner two days after giving birth to a child. Medical testimony shows that the symptoms that Mrs. Soquet had previous to her death were those of poisoning from arsenic.
