Of the defense OF Oscar Thompson, John
Cla6sy and Edward Councilman, who
we're held yesterday TO answer for the
SUPPOSED Mitchell crime, The first al
ready stood accused as principal and
accessory in the mu der Of Mrs. Bar
tholin. As yet nothing definite has been
heard OF the Whereabouts Of William
J. Bartholin. Much doubt exists. how
ever, as 10 whether Miss Mitchell is
dead.
The early testimony today pertalned
largely to the finding Of the bfy OF
Mrs. Berthoiln by newspaper men. Re-
poTters who searched the basement OF
the Calumet avenue house, told again
the story Of the digging up OF the Cody

Some interest W. oused when the
inquiry was teri rily suspended In
order that the hell family might
produce a witness The poiice did not
know who the r'.uess would be. A
new clue 10 the possible solution Of the
Minnie Mitchell case was found today,
when Il was learned that man re-

Young woman. supposed TO be Minnie
Mitchell. DR.. Wlrus says the man
wanted him TO take the young woman
as patient, but ihG, he refused. This
story, together with that told yester-
day. that the 81. was in a hospital,
lends further color to the theory that
the girl may be alive
This morning ne body Of a girl was
found upon the beach IN Rogers park,
the northern limlc of the city. II was
FIRST supposed to he shat OF MinnIs

tally with that Of the Mitchell girl.

ties under this alleged trust: they We're
permitted to buy the whole or any
part of the trust estate either at pub
lie or private sale upon their own
terms, one from the other, amy rule of
law or equity to the contrary notwith-

1t would take a vast amount of ar
gument to convince the thousands of
people residing in Akron and Summit

ed with the late Mr.. Cornell, that any
of the provisions in this remarkable

way that he was accustomed to do
ing business.

Mr.. Aungst. These executors paid
him something like $4,000 for about
six weeks work. In addition TO this
they paid the $1,000 note which he
claimed Cornell gave him, TO use his
own language, las part payment of
what care he had taken OF him" He
testified that on the day after Cornell S
death he showed the note to Mr.. Nc
Farlin, and McFarlin told him to hold
it little while and it would be paid
That Notwithstanding this assurance
on the part of one of the executors
that after he returned to Cleveland he
employed lawyer, and that he 'and
the lawyer came to Akron and called
on Mr.. McFarlin; that Mr. McFarlin
took them up to Mr.. Baird's office, and
that when the note was shown TO Mr.
Baird, the latter, instead of inquirlng
into the circumstances under which il
was made, asking who was present
how it come TO be given to him, ana

This note, although entirely uncol
lectable by law, was paid by these ex
ecutors without protest. Instead OF
doing, however, as executors and ad
ministrators ordinarily do, filing tht
note itself as voucher in the office OF
the probate judge, they kept the orig
inal and put on file Il. receipt from Mr.
Aungst for 5000.

Willard Vail that his uncle was quite

RIGHT IN HIS LINZ
How a Druggist Was Cured Of
Gripp's After-EtfectS.
He Tells Reporter the Reason Why He
Recommends Or. Williams Pink Pills
For Pale People

A man who can speak authoritauvely
on medicines is Mr.. j. s. McElwee, Ph.
G., manager of the Red Cross drug
store, in Dover, n. j. Years of expert
ence has demonstrated to him that one
preparation excels all others as rem
edy for diseases arising from the blood
and nerves. When asked by a reporter
what he considered the best medicine
for such diseases, he said:
81 have recommended hundreds of
people to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People, for ! know both from
observation and personal experience
what they will do in restoring health"
You say you have tried them your
self?"
"Yes, and with the best of results

to the effect that she did not see Mr..
Cornell sign this will, nor did She sign
as a witness in his presence, which Dy
the way is denied by no one but
Aungst, is uncontradicted by any one,
and yet the honorable judge says:
II do not find from this evidence
that they have been guilty of conspir-
acy or fraud, and know no other man
who has heard this evidence. with but
one exception, who believes that they
acy as against Mrs. Ritchie. There is
not the shadow of a ease here of fraud
OF conspiracy. 1t is not made out.
And as | said before, no one believes
it but one man, and l am charitable
enough TO Mr.. Ritchie to say that /
believe that he believes it,"
Thus far | have given an outline of
the testimony in this case bearing on
the first charges in my wife's motion,
as set forth in the opinion of the hon
orable judge:
First-That a fraudulent conspiracy
was entered into by Baird, Wright and
McFarlin, resulting in the forgery of 4
will and its fraudulent probate.
Second-That one of the witnesses 10
the will was bribed by the allowance
of fraudulent claim of 5000 made
by him against .ne estate.
The honorable judge, in refusing to
sustain these two charges, ignored all
the testimony that l have quoted thus
far and based his conclusion that
these two charges were false upon the
testimony OF DR.. Murdock alone.
Dr. Murdock's deposition was taken
by these alleged executors before w.
II. Collins. notary public, the 9th day
of October, 1901. In this deposition
