One would think the laxative idea
in a cough syrup should have been
advanced long before it was. 1t seems
the only rational remedy for coughs and
colds would be to move the bowels
and clean the mucous membranes OF
the throat and lungs at the same time.
Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar
does this. 1t is the original laxative
cough syrup, the best known remedy
for coughs, colds, Group, whoopme
cough, etc. Tastes good and harmless

FOURTH WAS FATAL.
Italian Murderer Hanged After Evad-
ing Three Previous Sentences.

Newark, \. J., March 22--Guizzippe
Aarmo, an Italian, was hanged here
today for the murder of his brother
in-law. Nunzio Marinana- The murder
followed a violent quarrel between the
two men. The struggle which Marmo
had made to save himself from the
gallows since he killed his brother-in-
ter nearly two years ago was a most
remarkable one Not only did he ex-
haust all the methods known to law
but on at least two occasions he made
sensational attempts to escape from
confinement. One Of these attempts
was made in the court room after he
had been sentenced to death for the
third time. After denouncing the
Judge and jury which tried him, de-
claring that he had not been treated
fairly and that many of his country
men who had committed murder in
this country had escaped the gallows,
he suddenly drew an iron bar from the
leg of his trousers and made a break
for freedom. He was overpowered
after one court officer had been severe
ly injured.
Ten minutes later while being re-
moved to the Jail he made another
break and was overpowered only after
another officer had been severely hurt.
Since that time he has been constantly
guarded and has been allowed only a
mattress in his cell Even after that
he succeeded in getting another re-
prieve, but was unsuccessful in getting
the verdict set aside. He was SEN
fenced to death for the fourth time on
the third day of this month. A last
effort to save the condemned man was
made when his counsel applied to the
United States supreme court for writ
of habeas corpus. The application
was denied by the court yesterday
In all of his efforts to gain his free
dom by means Of the law, Marmo had
the support, both moral and financial,
of large number of the Italian resi-
dents of the community in which he
had lived.
