INSANE BY SISTER
Tells of Weird Traits as De-
tense Starts in, Sensational
Murder Trial.
BY the Associated Press.

Aos tHe AhsocldteQ PreSs.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, July H-Ths
states contention that Eva Catherine
kaber attempted to kill her husband,
Daniel F. Kaber, by poisoning, was
! attacked by the defense today as an
initial effort to discredit the states
/ case
The first witness called by the de-
| undertaken who prepared Mr. Kabers
BODY for burial. He told of the
autopsy conducted at the county
morgue at which all the internal
organs were removed.
He asserted that he used a harden
ing compound on the organs. using
t"o-thirds of five-pound box He
said he did not know the content Of
the powder.
Mrs Kaber appeared more cheerful
today, as testimony more favorable to
her was being presented. She came
into court without her face covered
by a handkerchief
That Mrs. kaber was insane at the
time her husband was murdered was
the opinion expressed by her sister.
that Mrs. Kaber was very "tempera-
mental" and at school would slap
other children and pull their hair. At
home she said Mrs. Kaber's eyes at
times had "a wild look.
State and defense counsel clashed
many times during the examination
of Mrs. McGinnis by Attorney William
J. Corrigan. There was a continuous
fire of objections by state counsel,
most Of which were sustained by the
court.
Cries n Sister Testihes.
Through William Oehlsrom. a mas
seur. the defense attempted to show
hn ha had rah for
nervousness several years ago. but
the court would not admit the testi-
mony. Mrs. Kaber rested her head
on the back of chair and cried
while her sister was testifying.
Names of alienists who are to tes-
tify as to the sanity of Mrs. kaber
in her defense have not yet been re-
vealed by her counsel.
The list of witnesses to be called
today when the defense begins its
testimony numbers twenty, all rela-
tives or friends of the accused wom-
an. No intimation has been given
as to the line of evidence they may
offer. though it is expected that from
bearing upon Mr.. Kaber's alleged
nasty habits"
The testimony of the aliensts is
not expected to be offered until all
other defense testimony is in. as the
hypothetical question to be asked
ready in evidence.
Defense to Take Week.
1t is expected that it will take prac-
tically all of the present week for the
defense to offer its testimony and the
state its rebuttai.
The state yesterday completed the
case with the exception of one wit
ness, former County Coroner P. A.
Jacobs. who will testify that Mr..
Kaber died as a result of the stab
wounds. alleged by the state to have
been inflicted by assasins hired by
Mrs. kaber.
AS a result of Judge Maurice Ber-
mons ruling yesterday. the jury can
not find Mrs. Kaber guilty of killing
her husband by poisoning. Testimony
relating, to alleged poisoning, how
ever, may be considered by the jury IN
its deliberation on the conspiracy
charge.
Whether Eva Catherine Kaber will
testify in her own behalf remains an
uncertainty. Her attorney. William
j. Corrigan, stated today that he had
not yet decided whether he will call
Mrs. kaber to testify.
