Nov. 5— (UP)— A final appeal to the jury to spare the life of Anna Marie Hahn, blonde "angel of mercy" was based today on the defense's contention that the state has failed to prove her guilty of murder. Joseph Hoodin. defense attorneycharged the prosecution had offered "Smoke Screen" evidence in its efforts to convict Mrs. Hahn, a German immigrant, of the poisen murder of Jacob Wagoner, 78. She stands accused of 'poisoning Wagner and three other old men in an attempt to get their life savings. “Everything the prosecutor can put before you. every smoke screen he tan put before you to stop you from determining the issues in this case, he does." Hoodin pleaded befor the jury of 11 women and one man. The case was expected to be given to the jury late today after the state has completed ite arguments. Mrs. Hahn seemed to pay little attention to Hoodin's arguments, on which rest her fate. She kept her eyes fixed on prosecuting attorney Dudley M. Outcalt. "When the state builds a case on guess work,” Hoodin continued. "It is trying to place the responsibilityon you. the jury, for taking from Mns. Hahn that little spark of life. “Have they told you there was no arsenic in Mr. Wagner's medicine chest? 1 don't know that there was. I'tn guessing, but if we are dealing with guesses, let’s have a lot of
