HOPEFUL VIEW

The hopeful view consump-
lives take of their own cases is
strongly in their favor. Each
year is showing a larger per-
centage of cures.
One of the best reasons for
good hope is the record of
SCOTS Emulsion as a medicine
for c~onsumptives. So long as
the system is strong enough to
use medicine of any kind it can
use SCOTS Emulsion.
The reason for its helpful
ness in this disease is because
of its long tolerance by the
patient; one does not tire of
it as quickly as other medi-
cincs and that is where the
great Benefit comes.

Views on the Trial and

consultation TODAY with his father,

father and counsel. In discussing his
case Patrick said:
mo one in the court room was more
surprised at that verdict than myself.
AS as lawyer l do not see how, upon
the testimony given, the verdict could
have been found. L do not believe had
Recorder Golf and Assistant District
Attorney Osborne known what effect
their addresses would have upon the
jury that they would have made them
in the terms they did"
After expressing the belief that both
the recorder and assistant district at
torney were astoniShed at the verdict,
Patrick said:
Il believe the jury to be composed Of
men. L nave no reason to believe
otherwise. 1 practically selected the
jury myself: but this / do know: Every
witness. every one connected with me
who could be bribed, cajoled or inf1uenc-
ed was approached and if influence
could possibly be used upon any mem
Der of the jury / believe it was used.
Now L do not believe for a that
verdict will stand. 1t will go 70
the court of appeals, where the ques-
lions of law and fact will be passed
upon"
Patrick said further that there was
one action on his part hat he regretted,
not one thing he would not do over
again. Asked if he would go on the
stand in the event of a new trial. Pat
rick said he was in his lawyers hands
