; Called As State Witness;

By GILMAN PARKER.
International Ncvs Service Staff Cor
respondent. LAWTON, "Mich., April 20. Mrs.
Sarah Tabor, an cighty-four-year-old
woman possessing one of the strang
est personalities that has ever come
'to the observation of Michigan crim
inologists, is on trial here charged
jwith murder in connect ioji 'with, what

1 to tho charge that she murdered her
I daughter," lurs. Maud Tabor Virgo in
the early spring of 191G. and then hid
, i he body in the young woman's "hope
chesl" in the collar of the Tabor home
. in Lav.-ton, where it remained undis
covered for nearly four years.
After a jury has been elected and
it is not anticipated that this will re
quire more than a day or Lwo the
prosecution will outline a case where
by it hopes to prove that Maude Tabor
, Virgo's death was brought about cith
er by the performance of a criminal
operation or by the administration ol
an overdose of chloroform, and that
her aged mother was either directly
lesponsible or that she held knowl
edge of her daughter's death, which
would make her criminally responsi
ble in the eyes of the law.
Prominently figuring in the trial
will bo the testimony of Joseph Virgo,
' an embalmer ot Kalamazoo, and de
clared by Mrs. Tabor to have married
I her daughter as his fifth wife. Al
I though the young woman's body was

stances which have pointed toward

I has disclosed concerning the case, no
change was placed against him when
Mrs. Tabor was held for the murder.
Virgo Involved.
The prosecution is counting on an
estrangement which has sprung up be
tween the strange old woman and her
nearly as strange alleged son-in-law to
reveal many things. Chief among the
riddles tho state attorneys will seek
lu imv uusnuvu win utr.
Did Maude Tabbr Virgo die as the
direct result of a criminal operation,
and was her body concealed to hide
the fact? Or
Did Mrs. Tabor purposely adminis
ter an overdose of chloroform to her
daughter because her mother love
made her feel that she was sparing
Maude future disgrace and unhappi
ness? Or
Did the young woman meet death
at the hands of some one who after
ward forced the mother to become a
party to concealment of tho body in
order to hide the fact of tho murder 7
A brief hislory of the known facts
in the mystery is as follows:
In the early spring of 191G, Maude
, Tabor, quiet, studious, and a school
(teacher from the time she left the
j University of Michigan as an Lon
ior graduate, suddenly disappeared.
Friends inquiring about her were told
by her mother that she had gone West
to teach school, to inspect some mln
!ing property and to care for her
health. A little later the Tabor fam
jily announced that she had died in a
j western city.
I Discovers Body. '
j Several months later Mrs. Tabor
and her son, Walter, went to live in
a small California city, leaving as the
solo occupant of the Tabor homestead
hero another daughter, Mrs, Florence
Tabor Critchlow. One day early in
last December Mrs. Crltichlow went
to the cellar for some firewood, and in
gathering it her hand touched a hu
man foot protruding from a hole in
the end of her dead sister's "hope
chest."
She immediately called for a Law
jlon attorney. When the lid of the
I chest was raised, the body of Maude

of an aggressive foreign trade policy
by the United States and enactment
of federal legislation to guarantee in
dustry against strikes, wore advocated
by speakers at the opening session of

Tho United States Is producing far
more than is needed for democratic

foreign market must be found for this
surplus.

the rosources of - the- twenty-seven
states In tho Mississippi valley be co

"We must pool our resources," he
asserted, "so that only thoso favoring
legislation against these criminal at
tempts to stop production will bo
elected to congress."

In planning the defense of their

large reliance upon Yaqui and Maya

said, already had left distant stations
