In your hands. The prosecutor has said
that the grand jury indicted the defend
ant. That Is true, but that isn't evil
dence against the defendant. His honor,
with his known cleverness and fairness,
will give you the law in the case. She
stands here presumed to be innoceut, and
the burden is on the state to prove her
guilt. 1t is rot an evidence Of guilt that
the grand jury returned an Indictment

indictment charges this defendant with

degree, msnslaughter, assault and bat

defendant came into court and said what
she now says and what she will always
soy, that she is not guilty. The evidence
we believe will show that her statement is
true. Mrs George was born and raised
in an adjoining county. She was Of
humble but hoCest parent ge. She lived
in the tuwn Of Hanoverton, Columbiana
county. There she married Sample @.
George. As a result Of that marriage
three children were born. The home was
q pleasant, happy humble home. Sad
ness darkened 1t and took away from the
home one of the children. Mr.. George
was a carpsrt ter They lived several years
Ia Hauoyerton, and when Mrs. George
was about 26 years old they came to Can
ton, thinking Mr.. George would better
himself. They lived in the south end Of
the city. Their two boys accompanied
them. One is here with his mother; g
other is at school. Mrs. George, when
they came to Canton, had never been so
far from home before, She had lived her
entire life in Hsnoyerton. When she
came here she was as upright and honest
and virtuous as any woman in the land.
That state continued until she met that
man known.here as George ID. saxton.
One day she was shopping and entered
the store in the Saxton block. That was
the fatal day. On that day Saxton
caught sight OF her and marked her for
his own. A little later Mr.. George and
his family moved into the SaxtOn block.
They lived there from 1899 to some time

was the proprietor Of the block. He had
wealth and power and influence, and be
was no novice In the business which he
aft rward followed with the defendant.
Saxton, as the landlord, called on Mr..
and Mrs. George. Saxton, as the man
who had marked this woman for his wn
and for his En lust, called on her. He
visited this family from time to time.
No one mistrusted him. Mrs. George
had had no experience in the ways in
uhich S,xton was an expert. Gradually

position which she occupied, and repre-
sented tn her that she was fitted for a
better and higher plane; that she was

carpenter, but to be the wife of the pro-
prietor of the block"

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, Safe but Eneotual Cure
For 1t.

A Pleasant, Simple, Safe but EYeotual Cure
For 1t.
Catarrh OF the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are q full or
bloated sensation after eating, accompa-
MED sometimes with sour or watery
risings, formation Of gases, causing
pressure on the lungs snd heart and
difficult breathing; headache, tickle APP
petite, nervousness and general played
out and lsnguid feeling.
There Is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue, end II the inte-
rior of the stomach could be seen 1t
would show slimy, inhamed con iition.
The cure for this common and obstin-
ate disease is found in treatment
which causes the food to be readily end
thoroughly dlgested before IL has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces OF the stomach.
To secure q prompt and healthy di-
gesticn is the one necessary thing to do,
and when normal digestion Is secured
the catarrhal condition will have disap
peared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
end best treatment is to use after each
meal tablet, composed of Diastrse,
Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux, Golden
Seal and fruit acids.
These tablets can now be found at all
drug stores under the name of Stuart'e
Dyspepsia Tablets, and, not being O
patent medicine, can be used with per.
feet safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will
follow their regular use after meals.
Mr.. N. j. Booher, of 2710 Dearbo n
street, Chicago, H., writeS: "Catarrh
Is local condition resulting from 8
neglected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane Of the nose becomes
intiamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom, passing back into the throat
reaches the stomach, thus producing
cataIrh OF the stomach. Medical au

STATES CASE
Partially Outlined by Prose cutor
POmerene in His Opening
Staten, mt to the Jury.


Prosecutor Pomerene opened the case
In behalf of the state. He said:
"The indictment in this case charges
Annie &c. George with the deliberate and
premeditsted killing of George ID. Sax
ton. Now, gentlemen, to strip this in
dictmsnt of legal and medical phrase
ology, there were four wounds In the
body of George d. Ssxton. The testi-
mony will show that the crime was COM
mitted In this city, on the night Of the
7th Of October last, few minutes after
O'Clock. 1 have prepared plat which
will assist you In the Investigation of this
case. At these steps Indicating on the
plat) George d. saxton was killed by this
defendant. The Althouse premises are
about 80 feet from the Eckroate house.
There is door in the Eckroate house
that has windows in it, but the door was
open on the night of the killing. There
was nothing to impede the view to the
Althouse residence but screen. An
electric light nearby and the light from
q grocery store windows sufficiently
lighted the surroundings TO make a good
view of the Althouse premises possible.
1t is true there are some small shade
trees on the trees and that there were
leaves ON the street, but this would not
interfere materially with the view. The
state expects to show that the defendant
left restaurant about twenty minutes
fore this crime occurred. At about the
same time, George ID. Saxton came past
on the same street on his bicycle, and
rode toward the Althouse home in the
west end Of the city. We will show that
Saxton and the defendant were on the
same street at the same time, and we
will further show that on that very
night the defendant was on the hunt foI
her victim. Soon after leaving the
restaurant the accused boarded a car and
went westward. She rode on past the
place where she has her home. She was
at that time residing at the Oberlin resi-
denoe, In the western part Of the city on
the line Of the street car on which she
was riding and situated the first house
this side of the west creek bridge. Pro
eeeding to Hazlett avenue she got off tht
car 10 front Of the place where is located
the saloon Of John Weiss. We will show
that as she got of the car she went in
the direction of the Althouse home. When
she got there the people generally were al
their evening meal. The defendant had
taken a course across two vacant lots
and up Meyers court A few moments
later George d. saHton arrived at the
