C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1937.° MRS. HAHN GALLED FORGER OF “WILL" Letters to Wagner Also Identified by Expert at Murder Trial. By the Associated Press. CINCINNATI, Oct. 28.—A hand- writing expert's testimony that Anna Marie Hahn forged the name of Jacob Wagner on three documents, includ- ing his purported will, was added to- day to the State's evidence in her murder trial. The blond 31-year-old mother, ac- cused by the prosecution of “mass murders” for profit, is being tried for the poison death of Wagner, 78. Albert D. Osborn of New York, en- gaged by the State to identify docu- ments in the case, testified at & night session that Mrs. Harn was the author of a scrawled handwriting, which, the State asserted, she represented 8s Wagner's “last will and testament,” leaving to her all his modest fortune. Osborn also declared the signature of an order giving Mrs. Hahn power of attorney for Wagner was a “poor imitation” and that a check bearing Wagner's namg in reality was made out by Mrs. Hahn. The defense has admitted the defendant forged a check for $1,000 several hours after ‘Wagner died June 3. Previously, Dr. Willard Machle, a chemist, testified that lining of a handbag taken from Mrs. Hahn when she was arrested August 11 contained the same type of metallic poison found in Wagner’s body. Dr. Machle, over defense objection, stated he found scrapings of lint from the bag were 35 per cent poison. Osborn, describing himself as the expert in the Bruno Richard Haupt- mann trial in the Lindbergh kidnap- murder case, identified also Mrs. Hahn's letters written to Albert J. Palmer, retired watchman, whose death the State listed among three others as collateral evidence. Among the letters to Palmer iden- tified by Osborn were notes addressed, “My dear sweet dady” and another asking for $100. One letter to Palmer read: “Honey, I have to have $100 in the bank for that check. I hope you won't turn me down, because you get it all back this afternoon, Love, Anna.” The German-born woman, also in- dicted for murder in the death of el- derly George Gsellman, was identified as the author of a note found on the back of a street car pass found in Gsellman's attic room, saying, “Go home; I'll be there.” Dr. Otto P. Behrer, city chemist, testified that 9.38 grains of poison were found in a small pan in Gsell- man's modest quarters, where he was found dead. Texolite & Cementico 922 N. Y.

A charge of indecent assault was | filed at police headquarters today against a 17-year-oid white youth held in connection with an alleged at- tempted attack October 11 on Miss Betty Holmes, 20. The youth who, according to Detec- tive Chief Bernard W. Thompson, was identified by the girl yesterday, was to be released on bond pending arraignment in Police Court tomor- TOW. An attempt to link the youth in a second assault attempt failed when Miss Nancy Lee Summers, 18, business college student, said he was larger and his voice was heavier than that of a masked assailant whom she beat off near her home at 3900 Seventh street | N.E.

But there are mighty few of them left. During Pro- hibition, when home brew and needle beer were made by adding sugar and raisins to malt and hops, it was these sweet concoctions or no beer. But since repeal, wherever dry beers have been sold, they have quickly be- come the popular leaders. So it’s not surprising that Gunther’s dry beery beer is far and away the favorite in this part of the country.
