ASK DEATH FOR ! WOMAN KILLER State To Ask Death Penalty For Anna Marie ' Hahn — t Cincinnati, Nov. I- f.I.K —The state will ask a jury of 11 women and one man tod:iv to send Anna Marie Hahn, self-styled “angel of mercy,” to the electric chair. Prosecutor Dudley M. Outcalt contended that the German-born matron was no “angel" but a "blonde borgia.” who poisoned four elderly men for their money. Judge Charles S. Bell denied a defense motion for a directed verdict of acquittal after Mrs. Hahn had been goadi d by the state into a maze of contradictions concerning her relations witli men whose ages ranged from 67 to 78. The comely woman, mother of an 11-year-old boy. was charged specifically with the murder of Jacob Wagner, 78, but Judge Bell permitted the state to submit evi-| deuce designed to connect her also with the deaths of Albert J. Pal- 1 tnei. 72; George Gsellman, 67, and George Obendorfer, 67. Outcalt rested his case after relentlessly cross examining the defendant about a purchase of a bottle of deadly oil, three drops of ( which, he said, would cause violent | death. He forced her to admit I that she had traveled miles from her home to an out of the was I druggist to buy it. but she insisted I that she had asked for a medicine; and did not know that she had i been sold a poison. Asked why she had traveled so I far afield. Mrs. Hahn said that she had intended visiting a friend in the druggist’s neighborhood. "All right," Outcalt snapped,' "let’s have the name of the I friend." “I wouldn’t bring any of my; friends into this,” she replied. I At the request of her attorney, Joseph Hoodin. Mrs. Hahn said the friend was "Mrs. Silber, a very good friend of mine, a very nice woman.” Over Hoodi-t's vigorous protests, Outcalt introduced the name of Mrs. Olive Luella Koehler. He

She explained that she came to the United States j in 1929 "to get away from home; because of the child." Outcalt wanted to know where she obtained money. She said that she had asked an uncle for ft, and that he had bought her a steamship ticket. Then, under further questioning, she testified that her father had given her $4,000. Mrs. Hahn had said earlier that she always addressed Palmer as “Dear Sweet Daddy." because she felt toward him as she did toward her father. Outcalt, thumbing through letters she had written to her elderly friends, found that she He asked ts that indicated the had also culled Palmer "Honey." feeling of a child toward a father.
