 About her knees, as she spoke crowded four little children. With wondering eyes they looked up at the circle of faces around them.

aAbout four years ago I was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and few covering my body, which produced severe itching irritation. and which caused me Q great deal of annoy ance and suffering, to such an extent that was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of my town. After thor ough examination of the dreaded com plaint they announced 1t to be skin eczema in It's worst form. They treated me for the same for the length of one year, but the treatment did me no good.
 Finally I became despondeht and decided to discontinue their services. Shortly afterwards, my husband in read- ing copy of Q weekly New York paper saw an advertisement of the Cuti- ciifa Remedies. He purchased the en- tire outfit, and after using the contents of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent in connection with the Caticura Soar and Ointment, the breaking out entirely stopped. continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone and the affected parts were left as clear as ever. have not felt symp-N tom Of the eczema since, which was three years ago.

EIisterY of KIllinn.

John Williams was convicted in the Cullman County Circuit Court in May,
 1905. of the murder of the late State Senator Robert [. Hippy April II. pre- cedtng. Hipp, accompanied by a deputy sheriff, had gone to the Will Hams homestead with legal papers. de- priving the latter of the possession of his home. Williams refused 10 credit the papers. A quarrel arose, and Will Hams, withdrawing into his room, re- appeared a minute later with a pistol and commenced firing. The deputy was wounded, and Hipp was killed. Williams escaping, but afterward sur rendering to the authorities.
 A special session of the grand jury was ordered to indict Williams, and a special term of court to try him. He was tried less than two months later, while the feeling in culman was still bitter over the tragedy and was con- victed and sentenced to be hanged Since that time. the matter has been ip the courts, and 1t was not until the closing day of June that the Supreme Court finally affirmed the sentence of the lower tribunal. and set the date Of execution for July 27.
 In the hearing yesterday, the attor- neys in the interest of Williams made a strong point that the trial was held when the public mind was infiamed against Williams by untrustworthy re- ports, and when fair trial was im- possible. Evidence was adduced. also to show that the bullet which was taken from the body of Senator Hipp contained 146 grains, while the revolt yer belonging to Williams carried 4 bullet of only 130 grains. The ihfer- ence left to be drawn was that stray bullet from the deputy sheriff mirht have been the cause of Hipp's death. instead of the bullet from Williams < pistol.
 In opposition to the evidence brought out yesterday, the attorney who con ducted the case against Williams. nra- scented to the Board the typewritter of the trial. No action was taken by the Board of Pardons yestars
