County Prosecutor Erwin opened the
proceedings in the trial yesterday by
addressing the court and stating that
the published story of Mrs. Barker had
been brought to his attention and he
hoped the court would take such ac-
tion as it deemed wise in the matter.
The county prosecutor said to make
public such a statement at such a
time was a violation of the line of
conduct that had been Ibid down by
the courts in such cases as the one
pending.
Mr.. Van Wrinkle, counsel for Barker,
replied that so far as any contempt
was concerned, the press might be
disciplined as the court pleased. Mrs.
Barker he said, had many friends.
She was not on trial and her friends
had ther light to publish anything they
saw tit. Personally, he and his part
ner Mr.. Wall, and Mr.. Barker, had
nothing to do with the publication. The
court had power to do with the
matter in its charge to the jury as 1t
saw fit. r's,IaF

A REVELATION,
When One Goes For Months Without Get

Is Sweet

Take away sound refreshing sleep
and you rob nature of its most neces-
sary requirement-feedin and build
ing up time, that's why so many
people find their standard of strength
waning when they cannot sleep well.
One symptom after another creeps in
and serious ailments follow, that Is
what makes SO many feel and look
older than they are. The perfecting
of DR.. A. w. Chase's Nerve Pills is a
revelation to this kind.
Mrs. X. Giebenrath of No. 514 Ex-
change ST., Akron, o., says: "Dr. A.
w. Chase's Nerve Pills saved doctors
bill. I was nervous, felt depressed
and dull as lost sleep constantly, was
so restless. | was told of the Nerve
Pills and got some at Lamparter's
drug store on South Howard ST., and
since l used them feel finely, sleep
well, eat well, nerves are steady and
general strength good. This is good
proof to me-the medicine is all IL
claims to be.

wanted me. i refused to so.

Ter called at the house at 4 p. m. and
said Hello He followed me into the
house. / greeted him coldly. 1 was
offended at him for asking me to ride
to Paterson. He asked me for drink
of water, and ] went to the kitchen to
get it. He then asked ME if 1 Had
anything stronger than water, and l
said NO. Mr. Keller went to the back
door of the kitchen, looked out then
closed the door and locked 1t. I gave
him O glass of water and started To-
ward the dining room. At this point
my dog jumped around. Keller kick

the door. / said, Mr.. Keller, what are

II said: Don't, Mr.. Keller
"He said, My name is not Mr.. Kel-
ler; II is John He continued to try
to kiss me, and struggled TO prevent
him.
II slapped him in the face. He
caught me and drew ME toward a
chair. He dropped into chair and
pulled me into his lap ana again tried
to kiss me.
HE said, Il love you, and you ought
10 know 1t. / have loved you from the

between US and used words of endear-
ment; that I resembled his sister who

upon him." She continued by describ
