MRS. KABER .SLASHES
HER WRIST IN CELL.
Woman Accused of Numbering
Husband Makes Attempt
to Commit Suicide.

Mrs. Eva Katherine Kaber attempted
to commit suicide yesterday in her cell
at the Harlem prison where she is pc
ing held to await extradition to Lake
wood Ohio, TO stand trial on indictments
which charge her with the murder OF ner
husband Daniel Kaber. by giving nm
arsenic In his food and by stabblng nin'
In the stomach. Mrs Kaber slashed her
wrist with a nail file as she lay on her
cot. but her groans attracted the atten-
ion of Matron Maria 4. Kelly Ihe
mstron stopped In front OF the cell anu
asked what was the matter.
II have had a hemorrhage OF the
stomach. but everything is all rlsht
now" replied Mrs. Kaber. i,
Mrs Kelly, however called the head
keeper. Frederick Morehead, and an
examination revealed slash on Mrs.
Kaber's right wrist about half an inch
long. First aid measures were used
and an ambulance summoned from
Harlem Hospital DR.. Georgi found IT
necessary to take five stitches in the
wound. No artery was severed and
the woman probably would not have
bled to death, even If she had not been
found. The stained nail file was found
under the cot. At first Mrs. kaber
said the cut was an accident. but later
she said she had done II herself be-
cause she wanted to die.
Dispatches from Cleveland last night
said that the detectives there had ar
rested a man and woman who are
expected to prove important figures in
the Kaber murder. Their names are
withheld for the present. pending further
Investigations into their alleged activi-
ties, but the Cleveland police intimate
that the man might prove to be the
"man with the cap" said by kaoer
Just before he died to have stabbed him
with a homemade dagger. The woman.
the police say, is under arrest because
they believe her to haveshired the man
with the cap" at the instigation OF Mrs
Kaber. 1t is also intimated In Cleve-
land that she had something to do with
putting arsenic in kaber's food.
The fact that the indictment against
Mrs. Kaber and hor laughter. Marian
McArdle. who is bring held as an ec-
complice, charges the former with put
ting arsenic In the food became known
Yesterday when the elder woman was
arraigned before Magistrate Norman T..
Marsh in the Washington Heights Court
on a short affidavis charging her with
being fugitive from justice. She was
held without bail Tor thirty days 10

Word was received from Albany last
night that Gov. Miller. at Buffalo. had
