MRS. KABER MUST
 SPEND HER LIFE ! IN OHIO PRISON
Found Guilty of First Degree Murder With Reoommen- dation of Mercy-Five
 More to Face Trial
By Associated Press

Cleveland. O., July 16,-Through mercy recommended by jury of men, Mrs. Eva catherine Kaber to- day escaped the electric chair, though found guilty of first degree murder for plotting the assassina- ton of her husband, Daniel F. Kabcr.
 It was the hope that mercy would be extended by those of the opposite sex which induced her counsel to ex clude women jurors on the ground that they are more cold blooded and merciless than men" Attempt was made to invalidate panels of tenta- tive jurors because there were wom- en on them, and when women were tentatively seated on the jury, they were dismissed by the defense on peremptory challenge.
 AS a result of the recommendation for mercy, Mrs. Kaber was sentenced 10 life Imprisonment in the Ohio re- formatory for women at Marysville by Judge Maurice Bernon. Had the jury not recommended mercy, the court would have been compelled to sentence her to die in the electric chair.
 Ine prison lSifn IpA Mfss rNdpSi was the first final result of the states effort to bring to justice those responsible for the murder of the Lakewood publisher as he lay an in- valid in his home on the night of July 1S 1919. There remain five others to be tried on first degree murder charges in connection with the crime.
 Five More Face Trial
 Two of these are Mrs. Mary Brick ell mother and Miss Marian McAr- dle daughter of Mrs. Kaber Miss McArdle was with her mother, who was lying in semiconscious stare in her cell in the county jail, when news of the verdict was brought to to them by Attorney Francis w. Poulson, Mrs. Kaber's personal coun- gel. The mother, 69 years of age, was at Sterling house, detention home for women.
 The others charged with the crime are Mrs. Erminia Colavito, midwife nurse, who is alleged to have been a go-between between Mrs. Kaber and Sslvator Gala and Vittorio Piszilli. who are alleged to have actually killed MT. Kaber.
 Mrs Kaber showed no signs of interest in the verdict or the sen tence imposed by the court if in fact, she actually knew what was happen ing, for she was apparently obliv- ious to all things. She merely nodded her head when pressed for answers as to whether she under- stood. She was as limp as a lifeless person. and had to be carried to and from the courtroom.
 Interested Only in Girl
 Her own fate sealed. what little interest Mrs. Kaber did show was said to be in the future of her daugh- ter. whom County Prosecutor Ed werd c. stanton says he will ask be given the death penalty.
