100000 Libel Suit.

DIR. r. V. Pierce's company, The
Worlds Dispensary Medical Associa
ton, of Buffalo, N. Y, has brought q
suit for libel against the publishers OF
The Ladies' Home Journal, of Phila.
delphia, for 100000 damages. The
sworn complaint has been filed in the
Clerks Office at Buffalo, N. Y. 1t ap.
pears from this that The Ladies' Home
Journal in a recent number published
an attack on patent medicines This
article charged that the well.known
remedy, called Doctor Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, contained seventeen per
cent, of alcohol, also certain drugs, and
that these ingredients made the medi-
cine harmful and dangerous. The
sworn complaint shows that the above
statement is wholly and absolutely false
in every particular, and that the medi-
cine contains no deleterious ingredients
whatever, and none of the ingredients
stated in the article so published, being
made of certain extracts of medicinal
plants and roots-harmless to the most
delicate constitution.
When called upon, DIR. V. Mott
Pierce, an officer of the company said,
SIN recent article, The Ladies'
Home Journal made this wholly un
founded attack upon our remedy.
'The charges made against our medi.
"cine are absolutely false, as the COM
plant in our suit shows. We find it
''hard to understand how reputable
magazine of the high standing and
enormous circulation of the Ladies'
Home Journal should make such a
damaging statement without taking
''pains to ascertain the facts. The
remedy. Doctor Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is so well and favorably
known, and has such a wide sale,
chat we could not afford to allow such
"a charge to pass unanswered The
"fact is the 'Favorite Prescription is
composed of extracts of medicinal
plants, roots and herbs, which would
mot harm the most delicate system.
cit is a false and unfounded attack
upon the good name and repute of
"our company"

ing witnesses for the defense as their
testimony began the revealing of pos
sible motive for the crime. Their testi-
mony, in effect, was that Mrs. Collins
and Leachman were virtually lovers, as
they were seen everywhere together,
went driving and visiting together,
drank from the same glass of cider. and
ate from the same apple. +,
An important symptom of poisoning
not heretofore brought out--numbness
of the extremeties-was touches upon
by Mrs. Weisenberger. Shesaw Leach
man reach for handkerchief, but his
hands were so numb that he could not
pick it up. He said to Mrs. Weisenber-
ger: my feet are so numb that don't
know have any"
On Oct. 20, three days before Leach
mans death, the witness went to the
Collins house just after DR.. Shoemaker
had left, and the following significant
statement, witness swears, was made
by Mrs. Collins:
1.-THE doctor has been here and thinks
George is better. l don't. He will be
dead before Sunday. No doctor in the
United States can help him."
Mrs. Collins guess proved an accur-
ate one, as Leachman died twenty. four
hours inside the time limit.
Mrs. Amelia Leachman on being re-
called to the stand, said that at one time
there was some talk of tar and feathers
for her son and Mrs. Collins, and that
they had purchased a revolver with
which to defend themselves.
Mrs. Glenn Hughes, now of Pittsburg,
Mich, formerly of New Lothrop, swore
that on one occasion Mrs. Collins said
that she owed Leachman for two years
work, wet seasons and bad crops making
it impossible for her to pay.
Weisenberger said that few hours
after Leachman's death, Mrs. Collins
took money and papers from closet in
the dead mans room and locked them
up. The papers, the prosecution claims,
were notes showing her Indebtedness to
Leachman.
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1904-05-27

The third week of the Collins murder
trial is drawing to a close, and indica-
tions are that it will last at least one
more week. The prosecution has out
lined the cause of death-arsenica pois-
oning-and is now attempting to show
a motive on Mrs. Collins part for the
crime.

TUESDAY MORNING.


TUESDAY MORNING.
Miss Sarah Farnsworth,a country girl
who was employed for week in the
Collins home, testified that the attitude
of Leachman and Mrs. Collins was that
of lovers. Miss Farnsworth further
stated that on the only Sunday after
noon she was at the Collins place Col.
Northwood was caller upon Mrs. Col
Inns, The witness asked for her pay,
and Mrs. Collins said George is
good He never asks for money, and I
owe him $780," This, the prosecution
states shows that indebtedness was one
motive for the crime.
Mrs. Leachman, mother of the dead
man, was recalled to the stand, and de-
tailed the conversation she had in re-
gard to the post norton. Immediately
after death she believed George had
been poisoned, and said: "I'll have him
opened"
Mrs. Collins replied earnestly: II
wouldn't do that, there's no use. You
know he has always had stomach
trouble"
Never like this, replied Mrs Leach
man.
The other woman continued to urge
that no post norton be held, citing the
heavy expense as one reason, but Mrs.
Leachman remained firm in her deter
mination.
Mrs. George Thompson corroborated
Mrs. Leachmans testimony on the
above point.
Mrs. Alexander Bailey, also of New
Lothrop, swore that on one occasion
Mrs. Collins told her that crops had been
so bad she had been unable top pay Leach
man for two years.
Mrs. Daniel Taber's testimony was
quite sensational. She swore that in
June, 1908, Mrs. Collins said she owed
Leachman 5000 for work. Mrs. Collins
stated she thought of moving away.
where tor witness asked.
'1m thinking of going to New York
state, but may go to jackson, replied
Mrs. Collins.
WEDNESDAYS DEVELOPMENTS.
Mrs. Kate Quaderer, sister of Leach
man, was on the stand all day Wednes-
day, and told the story of Leachman's
last week of life. She stated that on
several occasions after Mrs. Collins had
given George food or drink, ne would be-
come violently ill. He complained two
or three times that she put sand in what
was offered him. Once when George
was in great distress during such an i'll
ness, he begged that DIR. Shoemaker
might be sent for. but Mrs. Collins
followed Jacob Gross, who was prepar-
ing to go for the doctor, into the kitchen
and said: "Don't tell the doctor to
come, tell him to send powders"
George remarked in his sisters hear
ing that he would borrow money from
her to pay for another doctor, promis
ing to repay her when when Mrs. Col
Inns estate was settled so she could pay
the money which she owed to him.
John e. Clark, chemical expert from
the Detroit College of Medicine, will
testify for the defense, and the county
must pay his high fee, as Mrs. Collins
has made affidavit that she has no
money.
