PHALEN EXCITED.
Loses His Head In Opening
Defence for luetgert.
States Attorney 0eneen Laughs and
Phalen's Associates Turn Red.
Judge Tuth'll Stops Scheme TO Arouse Sym.
pathy for luessert.

Chicago, Oct. 13.-Upon the opening
of the court in the trial of Adolph
Luetgert, the alleged wife murderer,
today. Attorney Phalen began his ar
gument in behalf OF the defence.
If this case had been submitted to
the jury when the state closed it's evil
dence, 1 verify believe a verdict of not
guilty would have resulted at once"
declared Attorney Phalen. The evil
dence of the prosecution came from in
Inundated witnesses, who perjured
themselves" he asserted with cmpha-
sis. These witnesses were brought in
by the police and drilled into what they
were to swear to. They came into this
court to swear away the life of an in
nocent man. During the progress of
this trial, We had a good illustration of
perjury in this case. when Emma
Schimpke, after giving her evidence,
left the stand and admitted to her
friends that she had deliberately lied"
AT this point in his argument, Attor-
ney Phalen had become worked up 70
high pitch of excitement and became
trifie confused. He talked about
False perjury" and said Those or
these statements you heard"

lead pencil in an effort to suppress
laughter and Assistant Attorney Nc
Even pulled his blonde moustache I'M
til his face grew red because of self
inflicted pain. ~Ex-Judge Vincent
stared at his colleague in an annoyed
manner Attorney Phalen gradually
recovered himself and talked on police
intimidations, perjury and kindred
topics.
Luetgert was fondling his children,
who had been brought to the court.
Attorney McEwen approached Judge
Tuthill and objected to the children be-
ing conspicuously exhibited before tn.
jury. Judge Tuthill ordered that they
be sent to seats removed from the one
occupied by their father. In q loud
tone of voice, ex-Judge Vincent OBJ
jected to the removal Of the children.
oh. your object is plain enough,
and I will not permit it, retorted

the remarks of the court" said ex-

SCROFULA
lt is Foul Blood's Advertise
nent
But Il is Soon Cured by Hoods
Sarsaparilla.

Yes, Scrofula, ifanything, may be called
the advertisement of foul blood. 1t is the
scourge of the world offensive, painful,
facilitating, stubborn and well nigh
uncomfortable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may palliate, they cannot
abolish the evil. There is but one sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the
faint from the blood.
There is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, so far as we
know, has almost invariably succeeded =
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years of faint, and the ravages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Read this:
"My daughter was afflicted with I'M
pure blood. There were running sores
all over her body and they caused her
much suffering. We tried medicines that
were recommended as blood purifiers,
but could not see that they did any good.
A friend told me about Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla and began giving the girlthis med
icine. The result was that she was per-
fectly cured after taking few bottles.
She has had no symptoms OF scrofula
sores since that time" MARIETTA M.
SMITH, South Middleboro, Mass.

ity of the papers was established.
