Wife Admits Trying to Smoke Out Husband



LITCHFIELD, CT (AP)  -- A 22-year-old woman has admitted setting fire to a Winsted apartment building where she suspected her estranged husband was sleeping.

Lynn Quigley made the admission Wednesday in Litchfield Superior Court and faces 10 to 20 years in prison when she's sentenced in August for first-degree arson.

Police say Quigley was apparently seeking revenge after learning her estranged husband had been having an affair without someone at the apartment building on Greenwoods Avenue.

Police say she lit gasoline on fire in the basement of the building on Oct. 18 to force him out of the apartment.

The prosecutor says Quigley wanted her estranged husband to be left without a home and forced to live with her mother so she could ``keep an eye on him.''
