Mr.. Childs spoke of the deep mys-

days after the commission of the

VIM. License, Employs brother-in-law.
Empey had been as true as steel to
his promise not to give Conway away.
License, to whom the information
was given perhaps in confidence, in

seems as though Providence had sent
this witness to clear up the mystery.

and thoroughly purities the system of
harmful, poisonous matters that cause

With new blood and refreshed nerv-

compound makes people well.
Nathan w. Kennedy, editor of the

hard-wOrked business man.
When the nerves and organs Of the
body are SOundly nOuriShed and the
waste products quickly got rid of a
tremendous amount of hard work can
be done without injury. 1t is when
the nervous tissues are used up faster
than they are repaired that brain,
nerves, and vital organs suffer, cry
out with neuralgia, rheumatism, heart
trouble, nervous dyspepsia, and finally
break down. Paine'S celery compound
is doing world of good for such weak
nervous people, whose brain and body
are OvertaXed, but who may yet be
saved from nervous prostratiOn and
diseases of the liver, kidneys and
stomach by this great strength-giver
and blood and nerve invigoratOr.
The first bottle of Paine's celery
compound begins at once to clear the
impure blood, to supply material for
growth to worn-Out nerves and to the
millions of tiny cells of nervous sub
stance through the brain and spinal
column. This marvellous blood and
nerve remedy lays the foundation for
health deeply and permanently; thin,
pale, careWOrn persons grow steadily
heavier and stronger, and their faces
lose the signs of sickness and despon-

its record at every step. Conway has
begun to advance. Boehmer was op-
posite the wall, and hears the voice,
''hold on. 1t is but few moments
before Walraven comes. 1t seems as
though the evidence justified the
statement that VIM. Conway was the
man who advanced and shot Walraven.
We have the invaluable testimony
of Empey, who tells of the subsequent
statements of Conway, confessing the
crime. Let us assume that the two
men had got there for purpose of rob-
berry, not of murder. They had
imagined that without a struggle
they would have the money. but Wal
raven fought manfully for his pro-
perry and life. Being knocked down,
and in danger of arrest he fired, then

speaker showed how the marks on the
cane fitted the side of the revolver
Conway, firing from his knees, the
powder marks were naturally made on
Walraven's chin, and the bullet took
its course upwards, as testified to by
DIR. Andrews. 1t was necessary
that the men should prepare
a place to retreat. 1t is in
evidence that the Schwartzenbach
house was used for that purpose.
