PERRY INDICTED
For Murder Of Misses McPhee
and Morton.
Possible That the Negroes Death May
End All Proceedings.
Another Step in Solving the Many
| Il .s Mysterious Murders.

lsbCambrindge, Mass, Feb.381 lathe
I grand jury of Middlesex county, today,
returned an indictment against George
Ii 0. Perry, the alleged slugger, for
the murder of Miss Agnes McPhee of
Somertille. Perry was also indicted on
the charge Of numbering Miss Clara A.
Morton at Wayerley in November last,
the young woman who was struck
down as she was passing through the
grounds leading to the Mclean hospi-
| tai.
The time of the arraignment of Perry
depends entirely upon the negroe' S
physical condition and there is a posi-
bility that the young negro's death
may intervene to check all further le-
gal proceedings.
| The arrest of Perry was the culmi-
mating development in a period of
crimes such as have seldom aroused
the Inhabitants of any community in
New England. Young women were as
saulted night after night in public
streets by an unknown man in Boston,
Cambridge, Somerville and other sec
lions of the country lying outside the
capital. Invariably the police of the
districts where the crimes We're COM
mitted, We're baked in all their at
| tempts to bring about the arrest of the
criminals. ~
The assaults were almost without ex-
ception committed with hard, short
weapon, presumably made of iron,
| leaving the victim unconscious on the
ground, and causing great suffering if
| not death.
| pJhlio continent a Ia eft VnQnnp6
| to be aroused and when the assault
which was commenced upon Miss Nc
Phee in Somerville, in the early part
of October, resulted in the death of that
| young woman. public feeling ran so
| high that every police agency in the
state which could be employed to aid
in the matter was put into operation
| TO secure the arrest of the murderer.
1t was not over month later that
Miss Morton was murdered in Waver-
| ley, Enthusiastically by the same man
| who had been responsible for the death
| of Miss McPhee Within a short time
there were many sensational develop
ments in connection with these MUIR
ders. A prominent Boston man was
arrested on suspicion of being con-
| nected with the death of Miss Morton,
but at a subsequent arrangement and
hearing in the Cambridge local court,
he was discharged.
| Before this court proceeding, how
ever, the case had taken on another
| turn. Through the medium of the Bos-
ton Children's Aid Society, the police
were led to arrest Perry, present de-
| PENDANT as witness, because he had
| made a confession to members of the
society that he had had in his possess
sion with the watch which was stolen
from Miss McPhee at the time she was
assaulted and chain which was taken
from Miss Morton when she was killed
in Waverley. This was regarded as
prima facie evidence at least of a guilty
knowledge of the crime.
1t has been limited that others be-
sides Perry might be implicated by the
grand jury. District Attorney Sander
son refused to say whether anybody
| else had been indicted

REVELATIONS OF THE HAND
As Told by the Leading Exponent o.
the New Thought.

From the age of years, the hands
| of human being present certain de.
velopments, which, properly inter-
preted, reveal his strength, his weak
ness, his talents. The expression of
the physiognomy may to an extent be
controlled. but over that of the hand
| the most powerful will exerts no in
| f1uence. The bent of the mind, wheth-
er good or evil-that which is, that
which may be-is written there re-
CARELESS of the desire of the possessor.
Has doubt of the veracity of per-
son thrust itself upon you at unwel-
come moments? Observe the tips of
his fingers-they turn backwards; be
satisfied. "the truth is not in him.
Has it sometimes occurred to you that
your affectionate friend is not ex-
actly sincere? Look carefully at her
fingers-they are tapering and smooth
entirely free from knots; alas, she is
selfish. to use less harsh expression,
self-absorbed.
To the critical examiner of hand
the first point of observation should be
the thumb. 1t is to this member that
one must look for affirmation or mega
ton concerning the qualities shown
by other portions of the hand. This
member consists of two phalanges
tdivisions), the first or nailed phalanx
being the seat Of will, and the second
that of logic-reason. In the ideal
thumb, these divisions are equal in
length, and its possessor is not weak
nor stubborn: neither is he rash, nor
prudent to excess. In other words, he
is evenly balanced.
Excess, wherever found, is bad.
Thus. abnormal development of the
phalanx that represents will is un-
desirable. being the mark not only of
stubbornness and tyranny, but of
tendency to Ego ahead" regardless of
consequences, whatever they may be.
Should the outer division be too short,
the person is apt to be easily led-to
conform to the opinions of every one
SO far as possible. Should this hand
display unusual talent, there is even
then chance that neither the pos
SCISSOR nor the world will benefit by It
because of lack of concentration. With
the phalanx of reason too long. one
will be apt, because Of excessive eau
ton. to permit opportunities to PASS.
With the phalanx too short there is
action without reason-impulsivene
The owner of this type Of thumb sell
dom looks before he leaps; consequent

who advised me to try Peruna, and
promised good results if would persist

was the least could do and procured

ing it that it was affecting ME differ
emily from anything had used before,
and so l kept on taking it. kept this

Peruna cures catarrh of the pelvic or
gans with the same surety as it cures
catarrh of the head. Peruna has be-
come renowned as a positive cure for
female ailments simply because the all
ments are mostly due to catarrh. Ca
tarrh is the cause of the trouble. Peru
ma cures the catarrh. The symptoms

and is almost always due to pelvic

It is worse than foolish for SO many
women to suffer year after year with a
disease that can be permanently cured.
Peruna cures catarrh permanently.
It cures old chronic cases as we'll as a
slight attack, the only difference being
in the length of time that it should be
taken to effect a cure.
