Albaneee of Spring Grove, charged with two counta of murder, one count of attempted murder and two counts of felony theft in the alleged arsenic poisoning deaths of two family members. The trial, expected to last a week, waa moved to McLean county on a change of venue from McHenry county. McHenry County State's Attorney Theodore Floro said the 44-year-old defendant was motivated by "financial need in the deaths of hir mother-in-law, Marlon Mueller; her mother, Mary Lambert; and hfe father, Michael Alboneoo, Sr. In opening arguments, Floro said Albenese wss in financial trouble precipitated in part by business dee! tags of the family-owned Allied Die Casting Co. in McHenry. As his first witnees, Floro called Virginia Albenese, wife of the accused man. The stste contended thst the Albaneses were living beyond their means. Mrs. Albaneee's teetimony indicated that the family leased two Cadillacs snd lived in s home in Spring Grove vslued st $108,000* Mrs. Albenese ssid she was never restricted to s household budget and told the court they traveled frequently, including travels sbrood Bank officials testified that Albenese had good credit but oc­ casionally fell behind * In loan payments. The State's Attorney said this was "no ordinary murder case " "There is no smoking gun," Floro said He also said the state would rely "basically and mostly" on cir­ cumstantial evidence He is on trial in McLean county for the death of his 69^year old father who died May 16, L981, and his wife's grandmother, Mary Lambert, 89, who died Aug 6, 1980 Both deaths were in McHenry county Albanese is also charged with the attempted murder in the alleged poisoning of his younger brother, 34- year-old Michael Jay Albanese, also in McHenry county. Two counts of felony theft are also combined in the trial, stemming from the alleged sale of raw materials from the casting company. Floro said funds from that sale were illegally deposited in Albanese's personal checking account. t A similar charge of murder stemming from the Aug. 18, 1980, death of Mrs Mueller, 69, is pending in Lake county She died in a Waukegan hospital. Defense attorney Richard Kelly, of Crystal Lake, declined to make an opening statement. Nineteenth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Henry Cowlin, of McHenry county,,is presiding over the trial, which was transferred to Bloomington because of extensive pre-trial publicity in the McHenry county area. The 12 jurors and two alternate members of the panel were selected Tuesday evening. If Albanese is found guilty of* the murder charges, the state will seek the death penalty, according to Floro.
