stabbed to death in his home IL
Lakewood, Ohio, two years ago.
Utterback was expected to be one
of the chief witnesses for the state

!! Kaber charged with the murder OF
her husband.

her mother, Mrs. Mary A. -Brickel
were indicted for the murder offs Dan
Kaber, Utterback informed County
Prosecutor Stanton that he would be
present as a witness for the state
ut their trials.
Utterback was the first person tc
reach Kaber in answer to his cries
after he had been stabbed.
The state charges that Utterback

this done"
Now, when he is wanted as wit
ness, he has disappeared.
Taking of testimony was resumed
in Mrs. Kaber's trial today. The
state will call several doctors who

Illness with which Kaber was af-
nicted.
1t is expected that later in the
trial that Moses Kaber, elderly
father of the publisher, will be re
called to the witness stand. He
testified late yesterday as the hrst
witness or the state.
