 My wife ordered this done! My wife ordered this donel My God, my wire or dered this donei''
 MT. Kaber to Police Lieutenant L. B. Miller of Lakewood, upon the officers arrival at the home soon after MT. Ka- Der had been stabbed.
 My God, doctor, my wife must have done this,' Dr. w J. Qugley, who was called to attend the wounded man, said MT. Kaber exclaimed to him.
 Both Lieutenant Miller and Dr. Quig- 1 ley declared that Mir. Kaber made these statements while yet conscious and while he lay on the floor by the side of the bed in which he was attacked. | This together with assertions by two women witnesses that Mrs Kaber had told them tha she wanted her husband murdered, were the high points in the states testimony today. | Mrs. Mary ]. Wade, an alleged me- dium, testified that Mrs. Kaber on the last of several visits to her, said:
 T want you to try to get rid of Dan Kaber for me-
 Asked by Mrs. Wade how she was to go about it. Mrs. Haber was alleged to have replied:
 T want you to kill him-any way to get rid of him.. The man, love has no money. only brains, and MT. Kaber has s50.00O life insurance" l Mrs. Bertha Miethke, grandmother of 1 the little Patricia whom the Kabers had adopted, testified that Mrs Kaber said to her:
 T hate Dan Kaber and am going to l get rid of him within the next six months l in some manner or other" l The state also in an effort to substan- 1 tiate its claim that Mrs. Kaber sought 1 to poison her husband introduced testi- mony of Dr. o''~'ev and Dr. Alfred i Mashke along this line. i Both physicians sald they had treated i Mir. Kaber and asserted that he was suf- fering from neuritis and secondary acne mia.
 Based upon hypothetical question asserting that an analysis of Mir. Kaber's l internal organs after his death disclosed the presence of arsenic in quantity "sllf- ; fcient to kill four men, both physicians
 said they would diagnose the cause of i the anemia and neuritis as arsenical poi
 soning.
 i This hypothetical question was admit ] ted by Judge Maurice Bernon only on the states promise to show by later tes- timony that an analysis of Mir. Kaber's
 organs showed the presence of the poison
 in the quantity alleged.
 Attorney William J. Corrgan on cross examination of the physicians sought tc
 establish that the poison might have beer absorbed from powders sprinkled over the organs by the undertaken who pre- pared the body for burial. but Dr. Quiz
 ley maintained that the poison could not ihave been absorbed in this manner ir
 such an amount as claimed by the state
 The police officer also testified that hs
