MRS. HAHN IS
 FOUND GUILTY,
 PO|SON-MURDER
Death Penalty Mandatory for 3l- ear-O Old
 Blonde Mother

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. G. - Mrs. Anna Hahn, 31-year-old blonde mother, has been convicted of first degree murder in the poison death of Jacob Wagner, 78, retired gard ner.
 The jury did not recommend len iency and the death penalty is mandatory.
 The ope.si..g cf the trial raised the curtain on the weirdest poison murder mystery in the midwest.
 The state prosecution contended that the plump blonde prisoner was guilty of mass murder; that she poisoned at least two elderly Ger man men to death, and that she was willed more than $50,000 by her victims.
 Mrs Hahn, apparently undisturb- ed by the fact that she had been labeled a Modern Borgia," denied all the charges in Judge Charles s.
 
 Held in the Hamilton County jail, she readily conversed with de- tectives, neWspapermen and visit ors. Sundays she joined heartily in the hymn-singing services. i Her grand jury trial was brief. After 45 minutes of testimony were given, the panel returned true bills charging that she did unlaw- fully. purposely and by means of poison kill Jacob Wagner, 78, and George Gsellman, CT.
 Other Deaths Unexplained
 Although the trial was confined to deaths of Wagner and Gsellman, police claim to have at hand the following additional evidence. { Ernest Kohler, aged German whom she "befriended," died in 1883, making her his sole legatee.
 Charles oswald, another of her friends, left her his property upon his death
 Albert Palmer, 72 who had loan ed her s200o, died early this year. She claims she repaid the loan.
 George Heis. 83-year-old coal dealer, now paralyzed, claims Mrs. Hahn fed him "doped" beer and lspinch after making him comfy"
 Arsenic assertedly has been found in vital organs of some of the al- legged victims. Traces of powerful croton oil-used to destroy evidence of arsenic-have been found in oth- CTS.
 Poison Bottle Found An empty poison bottle was re- covered from the basement of Mrs. Hahn's home. It is claimed by the prosecution that she had at least 13 faked poison prescriptions filled at a Cincinnati drug store, and that she bought morphine on at least I II occasions.
 | Her boarder, Dr. Arthur Vos, re- vealed the fact that she was known to bookmakers throughout the city, gambling heavily on horse races. Police records showed that she was once arrested on a bad-check charge.
 .t Despite the monotony of her long confinement in jail and the crush ing weight of the evidence against Her, Mrs. Hahn lost none of her ), lcarefree confidence. | Thirteen is my lucky number, she jocosely grins, referring to the , fact that she was arrested Friday, July 13.
 l The trial stood out as a thrilling modern true-life story.

Sidelights Are Now ThroUn
 On Stock Market Situation
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.--Follow me for a few minutes and I will take you to a spot or two in Washington where some sidelights will be thrown upon the perplexing mar ket situatio.,
 First we go to tax attorney. He represents some wealthy clients who oppose both the 1886 law taxing corporate surpluses and the 1887 tax law which destroyed the usefulness of personal holding companies as means of escape from income taxes.
 This attorney is on record with a prediction that the 1887 tax law enacted last August would precipi- tate an extensive market decline. He predicted before the bill was drafted that if personal holding companies were made useless as means of escape from high taxes, rich men would begin liquidating those corporations as fast as they could There are $500 of them. The attorney estimates they held upwards of a billion dollars worth of securities.
 He argued that the market was weakened considerably by other fac- tors, including business recession, and that the 1897 tax law, by in- augurating this liquidation of per- sonal holding companies, precipitat- ed the decline.

PARIS, Nov. 6.-Members of the Duke of Windsor's suite disclosed that the Royal party is studying the possibility of making the postponed tour to the United States early next year. It is declared that the tour is not definitely cancelled and Edward is still hopeful that public opinion in America will change within few months, thus opening the way for a trip which was to have started to- day but postponed on account of grave misconceptions of his mo- tives."
 Several members of the Dukes en- tourage said the Duke of Windsor felt "lukewarm attitude" toward the proposed American tour and one reason, one close adviser said, was the Hack of enthusiasm on the part of Washington officials, coup led with American labor criticism. J
 It is said here that when Wash ington officials were asked to sug- gest an itinerary whereby the Duke might be brought in close touch with housing methods and labor situa- tions, only a perfunctory letter was received

A person close to the Duke said the purpose of the tour is to show the rest of the world he plays no politics. For the moment however his plans are up in the air by the abrupt pcstponement of the American trip.

THE ATTORNEYS STORY

Now why should the rich man li- quidate his personal holding com pany? For just this reason, the tax attorney explains:
 Before the 1886 corporate surplus tax law, a rich man operate q through his holding company tc buy and sell actively in the mar ket. Say he made money. He made enough perhaps to crowd his earn ings up into figures where the in come tax is as high as 75 per cent But by holding part of his earnings in his personal corporation" as 2 reserve of extra capital, he escap. ed paying the tax He paid a ta, only on the amount he took from his holding company earnings. St why should he risk his money 1T speculation if the government get! mostuof the profit? Maybe he ough to be glad to pay, but he isn't.
 Even with the 1886 tax law, rici men still found some use for per. sonal holding companies. But thu 1937 law ended their value entire ly
