of ''shads" by the pOund-net fishermen
has been greater than ever

Working to Prove Riddick Insane.
(By the Associated Press. }

Richmond, Va, May 30.-In the trial
today at Lawrenceville, of Rev. j. E. K.
Rddick, for the murder of DR.. William
Temple, there was some sensational testi-
mony. The Commonwealth brought out
that after a conversation Riddick had
with his wife, he expressed doubt whether
he was justified in killing Temple.
The defense put the aged father OF the
prisoner, a Methodist minister himself,
on the stand, and drew from him that
inebriety and lunacy were hereditary in
the family, running back to witness
grand father. He told of how the prison
er had at one time fallen from the faith
and testified that on the advice of physi-
clans one of his (witnessD daughters had
married TO save herself from insanity.
1t was either that or an asylum.
A letter was read from Riddick to his
wife and his mother, in which the prison
er claimed that God had influenced him
TO kill Dr. Temple.
Court adjourned until tomorrow.

eruptions, boils and pimples which are
so likely to appear in the Spring;
cures scrofula diseases in their most

to, and also cures, dyspepsia and all

that tired feeling, which just as surely
indicate that the blood is lacking in
vitality and the elements of health.

it is solid, up-to-date fact. Hoods
