rine Kaber, widow Of Daniel Kaber,
who was murdered on the night of
Her arrest was asked for by Edward
G, Stanton, prosecuting attorney at
Cleveland, who said that Mrs. Kaber
had been indicted for murder by the

According to the story told to q
Tribune reporter yesterday by Miss
Marian McArdle, daughter Of Mrs
kaberf by a previous marriage, there
was nothing brought out at the cor

ing my mother for two years." Miss
McArdle said yesterday, "but they
found nothing to connect her with the
murder. Last Wednesday Afternoon
we were shocked when the CLEVELAND
afternoon papers announced that my
mother had been indicted. I hurried
at once to our attorney, Francis Poul
son. He telegraphed my mother and i
was her reply over the long distance
telephone that the detectives heard BY
listening in on the wire. My mother
wanted to know if she should go tt
Cleveland at once.
"At the time my stepfather wa
killed my mother was at her sister
cottage on" the lake near Sandusky
She could have had nothing whateve
to do with it and do not know of an,
reason that would lead her to TAX
pert in such thing. The estat,
is not large and the house, which wa
all that was left to my mother, is no
worth more than $4,000 and is mort
gagged"
Miss McArdle said that she had conn
to New York Immediately after speak
ing to her mother over the telephone
She had not, she said, been permitte,
to see her mother at Police Headquar
