Mrs. Kaber Found
Guilty Of Murder
In First Degree
Jury Recommends Mercy, and
Slayer of Wealthy Pub
Hsher Husband Given
q Life Term.
by The Associated Press.


Cleveland, O., July l6.-Mrs. Eva
Catherine Kaber was today found
guilty of murder in the first degree,
but with a recommendation of mercy
by the jury which tried her on a
charge of plotting the killing of her
husband, Daniel F. Kaber. Under
the verdict Mrs. Kaber must serve
the remainder of her life in prison.
Mrs. Kaber has been in stupor
since late Wednesday afternoon,
when she collapsed in the court
room.
Will Be Given Life.
Mrs. Kaber was sentenced to
life Imprisonment in the Ohio Re-
formatory for women at Marysville.
Under the Ohio law there is no
hope for pardon under such YER
dict.
The jury resumed its deliberation
this morning, having failed to return
a verdict last night after having the
case four hours.
Mrs. Kaber was said by her attor-
neys to have been practically uncon-
scious all of last night. She had
been carried from the court room
and had not eaten during the day.
The jury began balloting just two
years from the time Mr.. Kaber was
stabbed to death by assassins,
alleged to have been hired by Mrs.
Kaber.
Long Getting Evidence.
Though Mrs. Kaber was suspected
OF being implicated in her husbands
death at the time insufficient evil
dence was found then by officials on
which to formally charge her with
the crime For two years Moses
Kaber. the aged father of the mur-
dered man, doggedly. kept working
on the mystery with the aid of pri-
vate detectives, suspicion pointing
stronger aud stronger toward Mrs.
Kaber.
Finally a brother of Mrs. Kaber
was brought in as a ruse, and her
mother, Mrs. Mary Brickel, who was
suspected of knowing much about the
murder, was led to believe that the
son was to be charged with the
crime. The ruse worked as it had
been planned. Mrs. Brickel, to save
the son, is alleged to have confessed
duplicating her daughter, Mrs. Ka-
Der; Miss Marian McArdle, daughter
Of Mrs. Kaber, herself and others.
Verdict Satisfactory.
The grandmother, daughter and
granddaughter were indicted for first
degree murder, also Mrs. Erminia
Colavito, midwife nurse; Salvatore
Cata and Vittorio Pisselli, the latter
two being charged with the actual
murder.
All are waiting trial excepting Pts
selli, who has not been apprehended.
Mrs. Kaber was the first to be placed
on trial.
Mrs. Kaber is the first woman in
Cuyahoga county to be convicted OF
first degree murder.
William ]. Corrigan, Mrs. Kaber's
counsel, said he was we'll satisfied
with the verdict. The same express
sion was made by County Prosecutor i,
Edward c. Stanton.
When the jury made official report
of the verdict Mrs. Kaber was lying
limp in the arms of deputy sheriff /,
She was asked if she had anything
to say. She merely shook her head
indicating that she had not. Judge
Bernon then pronounced sentence.
Mrs. Kaber was carried back to her
cell in the iail.

It was decided that because of

made. This failure was not due
to an increase in acreage Of cot

It was agreed that during the
past year at least 100 per cent

HOLLY BUSH.

The farmers of Holly Bush COM
. munity held al very interesting
meeting Friday afternoon, Feb. 4.
Several interesting and beneficial
ideas were exchanged. Many in
stances were mentioned whereby
farmers had made much greater
profit by planting crops other than
cotton.
All expressed a realization of
the fact that farmers must devote
more time and interest to the
cultivation of food crops and leave
! cotton last. According to the es-
timation made by those present at
the meeting, only about 25 per
cent of the farmers of this COM
munity raised sufficient corn and
feed for home use till the next
harvest is reaped. It was the o.
pinion of those present that there
| is sufficient amount of meat stOr-
ed to last all the year.
From the following statements
made by the farmers present at
the meeting, one may easily esti-
mate the loss on the last cotton
crop.
] One farmer said, Last year
I paid $50 for fertilizer for my cot
ton, $50 for the seed and made
$50 pounds of lint cotton and
sold it ait IL 1-2 cents a pound"
Another said, Il made more
from one row Of tomatoes last year
than from my seven acre cotton
CROP"
Another man stated that from
nine acres he gathered 1900
pounds Of seed cotton, and 81
worth of seed which was apprOxi-
mately the cost of ginning and
fbaling the cotton. The fertilizer
for this cotton crop cost $28.'
This same man cultivated one
fourth acre of broom corn which
proved to be more profitable than
his cotton crop.
Another farmer. paid $40 for fer
tilizer for nine acres Of cotton,
made LOO pounds of lint and
sold it ct IL l-2 cents per pound.
One man stated that he had two

last year, had twenty acres IN cot
ION, paid $50 for fertilizer for It,
