 IN KABER MURDER CASE

Cleveland, O., June 12-Twelve per sons have been named in connection with the murder of Daniel F. Kaber, stabbed to death two years ago, for which crime Mrs. Eva Catherine Kaber. his wife 1; Miss Marian McArdle, his step-daughter, and Mrs. Mary BricAel. 69 years old, his mother-in-law are under indictment, it became known tonight, following grilling by County Prosecutor Edward C. Stanton and Chief of Police Frank w. Smith of Mrs. Kaber, Mrs Brickel and seven sus- poets.
 Other developments. the authorities say, were that four hired assassins were in the party which inflicted the twenty four stab wounds in Kaber's abdomen, and that $500, part of stipulated sum alleged to have been promised by Mrs Kaber for the assassination of her hus- band, had been paid.
 The questioning, which began this af- ternoon and was still in progress late to- night was expected to clear up the last details of the intricate plot through which kaber was murdered, to result in further indictments.
 Prosecutor Stanton and Chief Smith declared they had obtained admissions from a midwife arrested in Sandusky, several days ago. that a $500 bill had been paid to her by another woman, a fortune teller, who is alleged to have acted as ''go-ebtween."
 The $500, according to the alleged con- fession, was paid to the midwife after she had called Mrs. Kaber on the tele- phone and told her that the men were getting impatient and that she feared she might be killed if they were not paid.

Kaber's murder had been a friend of Mrs. Kaber, and who afterward continued the acquaintanceship and furnished in- yestigators with invaluable evidence, was present at the conference. Her discloc- ures already had given authorities the information that an envelope containing $500 had been left with the fortune teller when Mrs. Kaber left for New York after the murder.
 When the fortune teller was confronted with Mrs. Burman she at first denied any knowledge of the money, and that she had never seen Mrs. Burman, the authorities say, but later admitted she had seen Mrs. Burman with Mrs. Kaber and admitted having handled an en- velope.
