promise of marriage or any talk OF
marriage between the two
Or. Knabe was a mannish woman,
fighter, but she was not successful
said Mr.. Spaan. "She borrowed money
from her friends frequently because
she was unable to make a living at the
practice of medicine and at the time of
her death she was preparing to train
herself for physical culture work"
He asserted that her cousin, DR..
Augusta A. Knabe, knew that she was
respondent because of her failure in
life, and had told = friend, who would
be produced as a witness, that she was
afraid DR.. Knabe would commit sui
eide.
At great length, the accused mans
attorney described the surroundings at
DR.. Knabe's apartment on the morning
