FOR COLLINS
RELEASE,

Georgetown, April 49, Elmer Col
Inns is cheerful in his cell although
held without bail on the charge of
wife murder. He does not look or
act like a murderer. Yesterday he
was taken before Magistrate Pur-
nell and waived hearing and as
the case is not a bailable one Col
Inns was committed to jail.
AS soon as this necessary formal
ity had been arranged, Mr.. White
was in position to bring habeas
corpus proceedings to try to have
the prison barriers removed. SO
that his client could walk from the
Jail and go to his two sobbing little
girls at their home of grief. Mr..
White applied to the judges of the
county court, who are sitting here
in the April term, for a writ of
habeas corpus. No definite action
was taken on the application. The
judges held the matter under CON
sideration, before announcing the
date on which Mr.. White and Col
Inns will be granted hearing.
: At Laurel the arrest of Collins is
branded as an outrage. The detec-
tives have been acting in the dark
and no one believes Collins commit
ed the foul deed.
On the streets of Laurel yester-
day two men were seen walking arm
in arm. Tears We're in the eyes of
each, and they seemed weighted
down with sorrow. One was james
Collins, father of the murdered wo-
man, for her maiden name was Col
Inns. The other was Jacob Collins,
father Of Elmer, accused of the
crime.
They talked Of the arrest of the
young farmer. They discussed it
with Constable Philips, who was
with the detectives when the arrest
was made. They brought tears to
his eyes too.
Il know that Elmer is innocent"
declared Jacab Collins. his father,
asserting his belief in his sons ad-
herence to the lessons impaired to
him in youth. There are no more
residents of Sussex county
than Jacob Collins and James Col
Inns. 1t was one of the touching in
cidents following the tragedy.
Sympathy is expressed on every
side for Collins, heartbroken by grief
and torn away from his two little
children. Relatives are looking
after them, and hopes are entertain
ed that the little ones father will
soon be home to look after them.
Detective Ratledge held confer
nnce with Attorney General Ward
last night. The authorities still
lack a motive for the crime. and
they have not found the knife
welded by the slayer. Every plaus-
ible cause that might have prompt
ed such foul offence has been con-
but has been unproductive.
This will prove a weak point in the
case of the state. Unless evidence
stronger than that at present in the
possession of the detectives is OBJ
aimed, the prosecution will fail in
is attempt to tasten the crime on
IOllins.

A multitude of the healthiest, b right.

North American continent are deeply
indebted to Paine's Celery Compound
for the blessings Of health.
Women, old and young, know we'll
that this famous medicine is specially
adapted for all the ills peculiar to
their sex. When it is used, the sick
and suffering ones are seen to gain
steadily in health, strength, and Vi
gOr. No room is left for doubt to the
skeptic and stubborn minded individ-
ual. The joyous transformation from
sickness to health through the use of
Paine'S Celery Compound is constant
ly going on in every direction, 50 that
those once alarmed about the safety
of near and dear ones, now rejoice to
see the bloom Of returning health
lighting up and beautifying features
once pallid and wan.
Paine'S Celery Compound continues
to be woman's best home friend in
times of sickness. At this season
when the numberless ills of women
are a source of danger and anxiety,
women stand in need of a disease ban
isher and life giver like Paine's Gel
cry Compound to cleanse the blood,to
restore digestive vigor, to Danish
rlceplessDess, to brace the nerves, to
Danish the symptoms of deadly kid
ney disease, to dispel the agonies Of
rheumatism and neuralgia.
: This is the season, today isthe time
to begin the use of the best of medi-
cal prescription. There is not the
slightest reason to advance why any
woman should continue in suffering,
when Paine's Celery Compound can
be SO easily procured. Heaven
grant that you may have faith sul1i-
cient to use at least one bottle Of ma
ture's health builder in order that
you may be convinced that it is what
