HELD FOR LEWIS MURDER
Miss Kelly and Harry Somers Hell
For Grand Jury By Coroner.

Miss Kelly and Harry Somers Held
For Grand jury BY Coroner.
Philadelphia, Oct. ls.-Following in
structions from Coroner Jermon, jury
found that Mrs. Maurice K. Lewis
came to her death from hemorrhage
following stab wounds inflicted by
Charlotte Kelly and Harry Somers.
Miss Kelly and Somers were imme
diately arrested and locked in cells at
the central station.
The finding of the verdict was &C.
companied by sensational scenes, such
as are seldom seen in a coroner's
court, and these began when the coro
ner instructed the jury to bring in
verdict duplicating the two mentioned.
instructions which were denounced as
an outrage and an unwarranted liberty
on the part of the coroner.
This dcaunciation was made by 10
seph P. Rogers, counsel for Miss Kelly
and Somers, and the coroner at once
ordered him from the room.
All Of this followed Coroner Jer
mons charge to the jury. in which he
reviewed the salient features of the
evidence. and in which he showed that
many points of Miss Kelly's testimony
were contradicted by other witnesses
He spoke of the friendly relations
which existed between the woman and
Somers; of Somers' remarks to the
motorman; of Miss Kelly's unusual
conduct and great GOODNESS when she
discovered so great tragedy in heI
home; of her denial of the police Off
GERS testimony; of the fact that the
policeman said Miss Kelly had refused
to look at the murdered Mrs. Lewis
as contradicting her own statement
that she had viewed it with the Off
Ger. and he said her conduct and
manner at the time was not probable
Or reasonable. He spoke also of heI
being jealous of Somers and of theil
frequent quarrels.
''These are small things" he said
"but these are the things upon which
you must base your verdict that Mrs
Lewis came to her death from hemorr
hayes following stab wounds at the
hands of Charlotte Kelly and Harry
Somers."

Boston, Oct. ia verdict OF guilty
was returned in q test case brought
by the government against William II.
Ellis. a local contractor. who was
charged with violating the federal
eight-hour law on work at the Charles

work. The defence claimed that emer-
gencies made necessary nine hours
work. The penalty in the case is i'm

When physician tells a woman, SUI
fering from female trouble, that an
operation is necessary it, of course,
frightens her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. As one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician that she
must undergo an operation, she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for just such operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarer than is generally supposed,
because great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per-
formed. In fact, up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief. this medicine is certain to help.
The strongest and most grateful
statements possible to make come from
women who, by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.
Margrite Ryan, Treasurer of St.
Andrews Society, Indianapolis, Ind.
writes of her cure as follows:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
/" I cannot find words to express my thanks
for the good Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound did me. The doctor said could
