fur coats; for they left behind a com
plete set of burglars tools, including
drill, jimmies, saws, flashlights and
other articles. They also left several
black bags.

her mother had made "a complete CON
fession." The girl after her mothers
arrest rented room at the Y. ". G.. A,

Meantime word came from Cleve-
Land that indictments had been found
by the county grand jury not only
against Mrs. Kaber and Miss McArdle,
put also against Mrs. Mary Brickel,
sixty nine years old, mother of Mrs.
haber. The indictments, a dispatch
from Cleveland said, were voted and
returned in the Cleveland criminal
court shortly after the county prose-
cutor presented his evidence. which was
said to have been based chiefly on a
confession alleged by the police to
have been obtained from Mrs. BrickeI
at Lakewood
In her confession according ia tbe
Cleveland authorities, Mrs. Brickel ad
mitted that her daughter, Mrs. Kaber,
told her she was going to slay her husS
band. She Is alleged to have admitted
also that the Kaber home. where thu
murder was committed, had been nur-
posely ransacked by Miss McArdle Az
a sham to lead the police 20 believe the
murder was committed by burglars.
Detectives have been watching Mrs.
kaber for almost two years, according
to Miss McArdle. The latter declareS
that on the night of the murder her
mother was at summer resort at San
dusky, Ohio, and that her stepfather
just before he died declared that he
had been stabbed by man wearing a
cap. The estate left to her mother did
n4e amount TO more than $4,000, Miss

motive for killing my stepfather." s shs
added. They were happy, and the onlv
reason they were separated at the time
was that my stepfather was suffering
from neuritis and was unable to ac-
company my mother on visit to her
sister. W i0i
Mrs. Kaber refused to make anv
statement after she was visited by her
daughter. but previously she talked
freely.
Persons who opposed our marriage
and have been my enemies ever since
are at the bottom Of these accusations
said Mrs. Kaber. "Many contradictory
stories have been circulated. 1t was to
avold this gossip that I came to New
York to make living. One story was
that my husband had been killed by q

seeking to find o motive on this clew
they will be mistaken.
There has been talk that MY hus-
bend died Of arsenic poisoning. After
my husbands death an autopsy was
held, but no traces of poisoning were
found. Another story was that nv
husband ran q non-union printing es-
taklishment and that he was always
involved in labor troubles. Of course,
I know nothing Of this. My husband
was a peculiar man. He had a private

Corti then offered to pay for the ma
terial he had in the bag and Sturn is
said to have produced a roll Of bills in
an effort to bribe the detective. Before

them with shoplifting.
When arraigned at the Afternoon ses-
sion of Jefferson Market Court, both
men were held in $1,000 bail by Magis-
trate Ten Eyck, who complimented
Miss Bankeser on her courage.
Asked why she had kept her hands in
her pockets all through the trouble,

John c. Taylor, Of the Hotel Emer-
son, Baltimore, testsfying yesterday be-
fore the military court at Governors
Island which is trying Captain Reverb
Grayson Chew for forgery, impersoaa-
tion of brother officers and desertior,
said that when he had asked Captain
Chew for specific references as to his
identity other than the mere assertion
that he was United States Army off,
cer, Chew had invited him to Ego to
hell"
On October 10, 1920, Mr.. Taylor said
Captain Lafferty," as Chew was
known at the Emerson, presented q
check In payment Of his and "Mrs. Laf-
ferty's" bill OF s34.S6. Informed bv
Mr.. Taylor that he would have to give
some reference before the check could
be accepted, Laferty" wrote "U. s.
Army" on card and handed it to him

sort Of reference and that he would
have to be more definite" the witness
related. "Whereupon the captain threw
the card down OH the desk, told me
to go to hell picked up his baggage
and walked OUT
Later, the witness added, the check
was returned marked "no funds"
Quarrel Over Fathers Statements
Much of the trial yesterday was taken
up by a dispute between Captain
Thomas l.. Heffernan, prosecutor, and
William E. Leahy, civilian counsel for
the defendant, over the admissibility
Of certain testimony concerning con-
versation that passed between Captain
Sherman X. Burke, adjutant at Camp
Meade, and the defendants father,
George B. Chew, December 30, 1920.
Mr.. Leaty challenged the questions
asked Captain Burke by the prosecu-
tion, contending that evidence relating
to the private life Of Mrs. Chew, named
in the specifications against her hus-
band as his accomplice, had nothing
whatever to do with the question OF
Chew's guilt or innocence.
Mr.. Leahy's objections were finally
ruled out when the prosecution demon
strated that the evidence in point was
among the most important yet deduced
and that upon it depended to large
degree the question as to whether
Chew was responsible for his own
alleged criminal acts or Mrs. Chew
Laid Trouble to Wife
Captain Burke said Mr.. Chew, the
father, who is a government employee
in Washington and seventy-six years
old. told him at Camp Meade that he
was sure Mrs. Chew was responsible
for Captain Chew's difficulties.
