    That night when the daughter's husband was in bed he saw his mother-in-law coming in and she went to choke him but he started to roar and his wife came in and he told her what happened. The next night he went to bed and in the morning his wife was calling and calling him but she got no answer. However she went into his room and found him dead. The women send for the doctor and he saw tracks of fingers on the dead man's throat.
