There is more catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and pre-
scribed local remedies and on
their failure pronounced it incura
bic. Science has proven catarrh
to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
manufactured by F. j. Cheney 8
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only con-
stitutional cure on the market. It
is taken internally in doses of from
ten drops to teas oonful. It
acts directly on the blood and mu.
cous surfaces Of the system. They
offer one hundrer dollars for any
case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.

TALLY confirmed by Sheriff E. w.
Gamer, of Calhoun county, Mrs.
McCrosky has come out with a
further statement, in which she
tells further alleged details of the
crime, duplicating Jack Petit to
much further extent than even
the widest gossip has done hither-
| to.
She declares that Petit and
Mrs. Blackshire connived for
weeks to get Blackshire out OF the
way in order that they might not
be disturbed in their relations,
which according to the woman
and the public tongue has not been
free from the illicit. She thinks
that the elimination Was to be a
wedding after Blackshire's death.
During the time the plans were
being made, it had constantly
been with a view that McCrosky,
husband of the woman that tells
the story, was to take a proml-
nent part. If Blackshire was
poisoned, McCrosky was to dis
pose of the remains; if he was to
be killed outright her husband
was to perform the deed.
Naturally she gained all OF the
innermost secrets, and for fear
that she would make some indls-
Greet remarks or to tell things
which were not good to be known,
Mrs. McCrosky says that Petit
offered to give her "hush" con-
sideration. He finally determin-
ed to give her some fine dresses
belonging to his dead wife. he
gave her several fine gowns, so she
saws, and neighbors have identl-
fed the dresses as those formerly
worn by Pettit's dead wife.
Mrs. McCrosky further states
that when Mrs. Blackshire finally
hit on the plan of having Black
shire murdered outright, she de-
termined to protect McCrosky
and her brother, Lewis Hendricks
as far as possible, by permitting
them to wear her husbands cloth
ing so that the crime might not
be traced to them by the garments
they wore. .,
She provided each Of them with
shirts and trousers belonging to
her husband, and these were worn
on the night of the murder.
After the crime was committed,
as has been stated, the clothing
of the murderers was taken to the
edge of the woods where it was
burned. Peculiarly and striking
ly corroborative of her story frag-
ments of the garments burned,
which had escaped the lire, were
identified as belonging to clothing
Blackshire had frequently worn.
The whole affair, Mrs McCrosky
says. was clumsily managed. She
partly corroborates the poison
theory formerly advanced, and
SAYS that this was the original
plan of the murder, but that it
was abandoned because of the
difficulties which would follow in
order that the crime might be hid
den.
According to Sheriff Gamer,
who was interviewed by a repor-
ter last night at the Commercial,
where he is stopping with his
family. the authorities hardly
know how much credence to give
to the story Of Mrs. McCrosky.
The Sheriff says that she is very
illiterate woman, and that her
