William Dahlby said in court he was only trying to scare his wife the evening of May 9. He told jurors the wire was hooked to a "ground fault interrupter" designed to cut the electricity when the cord encountered water. His wife was not hurt. Prosecutors said Dahlby was trying to kill his wife to start a new life with another woman. Dahlby's wife, Mary, testified Tuesday her husband drew her bath after they spent the day taking a walk and a long motorcycle ride. While she took her bath, her husband came into the bathroom and dropped the cord into the bath, she said. She jumped out of the bath, but her husband tried to push her back in the tub, Mary Dahlby said. She got free and ran out of the bathroom. Her husband, who also was convicted of intimidation of a victim, was scheduled for sentencing December 10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cool, "small board after all", I graduated from there last May. It is a nice town, but we have that crazy bartime killer that throws students in the river http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...twiscollegetown Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2004 Yeah what's the deal with all thsoe kids falling in the river? I was considering La-X briefly but northern Wisconsin is a little too redneck for my liking. Hell, southern Wisconsin is a little too redneck for my liking. I just didn't want to be so cut off, because while Eau Claire is at least maybe 90 minutes from the Twin Cities, La Crosse is surrounded by a whole lotta nothing. But hey, at least the bluffs are pretty! You wanna talk about small board? ISportsFan lives a few blocks away from my second cousins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
