[Ads-l] Heard on Forensic Files

[Wilson Gray]

Spoken by Jackson, Illinois, police detective:

"She _poured her husband with gasoline_ and set fire to him."


I wouldn't put it quite that was, but...

(In fact, her husband carelessly poured *gasoline* into a hot,
*kerosene*-burning stove and it blew up in his face, setting him afire).
