declared. was upon the defense. In
sanity was the sole defense. no tcs-
timony BEING offered 10 refute the
states charge that Mrs. Kaber plan
ned the murder OF her husband.
Opens Argument.
County Pros. Edward c. Stanton
opened the states argument soon
after the noon recess. During the
half hour he argued. Mr.. Stanton
declared the extreme penalty-death
IN the eiectric chairs the justice
that is dEe Eva Catherine Kaber as
payment for what she did TO her
husband, Dan Kaber.'
This was not a hateful. resentful
murder by the two assassins. They
were to be paid with silver for every
drop OF Dan Kaber's blood" Mr..
Stanton said.
\ death-like silence fell over the
court room as Mr.. Stanton dramatic
ally asked:
What was her daughter, Marian.
playing on the piano as Mrs. Kaber
led the assassins through the house
to show them where they would find
her husband 10 kill him while he
slept"
"was she playing Nearer My God
20 Thee for Dan Kaber whose soul
was 10 go TO its Master in less than
"a hours2"
Following Mr.. Stanton, defense
counsel opened with a. plea for mercy
for the accused woman. Attorney
Francis w. Poulson attacked the poi
son theory of the state. asserting
that the arsenic found in Mr.. Kabers
internal organs came from harden
ing powders used by undertakes.
He said Mr.. Kaber's illness was due
70 appendicitis and not poisoning.
Mr.. Kaber's appendix had been re-
moved at the time an exploratory
operation was made on him, physi-
clans had testified. Mr.. Pculson also
explained why the defense had not
placed Mrs. Kaber on the witness
stand. saying that to have done 50
would have been inhuman because
OF her physical condition.
Not Responsible.
Look at her" he told the jury.
She did not get to tell her story.
For that we are solely responsible.
If il was a mistake not to place her
on the stand. il was ours and not
hers. Do not hold her responsible.
William J. Corrigan. following Mr..
Poulson, devoted most OF his hours
argument to pleading for mercy for
Mrs Kaber. lie asserted that the
case had been tried on the streets
and Mrs. Kaber plunged to her
death before she ever was brought
| into court"
| Mr.. COrrigan also discussed the
probability OF Mrs. Kaber being in
sane, going over the testimony on
| this phase in detail.
q care not whether she is guilty
/ or not, she was not "A competent per-
son az the time Of the murder ard
/ she is not a competent person now
Corrigan said.
Asst. Sounty Pros. Cassidy closed

murdered man, cried bitterly. II

had exhibited any signs Of emotion.
