In Wilkins the Alameda county
authorities believe they have a fiend
whose atrocious crimes have been
those of second Johann Hoch,
whose methods have equalled in
hideousness those of Luetgert, the
Chicago sausage maker, and the ter
rible secret of whose past may never
be revealed until his own lips are at
last unsealed in confession.
The autopsy performed yesterday
added another horror to the many
that have developed to make the
supposed crime of wilkins one of the
most hideous in history. Around the
mouth and nose of the body of the
dead woman was found tied a
handkerchief knotted at the back
and bound like a gag. telling more
eloquently than words of the method
used by the fiend who accomplished
her death and of the terrible fear
and agony that she must have under
gone as she fought madly and vainly
for her life. AS Wilkins described
the woman's death Monday night,
when he told the authorities that she
had committed suicide, he declared
that she entered his room with her
hair streaming loosely The body
was found with the hair done up on
the top of the head and closely
knotted with hairpins that held it in
it's coil even after the months that
the booy had lain in the grave.

Chief of Police Vollmer of Ber-
kelley has reached a point in his in
vestigation of the death of Frank
Bellows at which he is ready to make
the unqualified assertion that the
strongest link in the chain of circum-
stance has been forged. This link,
according to Vollmer, is nothing
more nor less than the visit Of
Blanche Kerfoot to Harry Klein
schmidt the night after young Bel
lows died, as she had described it.
Aollmer said yesterday that her
wretched narrative was true and that
he could prove it,
II can prove by ample corrobora-
tion the truth of Blanche Kerfoot's (
statement" said Vollmer, "and that
proof will send Kleinschmidt to the
gallows."
Vollmer stopped there and refused
to go further into the record which
he has been compiling to make good
his accusation of murder.
The basement of the Kleinschmidt
home becomes a center of import
ance. If the fact of Blanche Ker-
foot's presence there is of such vita
concern to the detectives there ar
rises the theory that Harry Klein
schmidt met Bellows in the same
place on the night the young Chi
cagoan died. Chief of Police Voll
mer would not admit directly yes
terday that he would try to prove
that Bellows and Kleinschmidt hat
talked with one another in the base
ment or that Bellows was there giver
a lethal drug. 1t is current among
the men close to the district attor
ney and to Vollmer's Office that the
theory of the authorities is that the
poison was not forced into Below
mouth, but was administered
through some seemingly harmless
medium.
District Attorney Brown has re
quested Dr.. o. d. Hamlin to give hin
an opinion as to whether or not va!
liable evidence could be obtained b,
making an analysis of Bellows
stomach or other organs. DR.. Hamlil
said that he could determine If thu
process of embalming the body afte
death would intervene in case Bel
lows had been poisoned and if an,
other circumstances would proven
results from such an examination.

WHO USES HYOMEI?
The Best People in Phoenix, Says
the Larson Drug Co. Guaran-
teed in Catarrhal Troubles.

No other remedy or medicinal treat
ment has ever been as popular or
made so many remarkable cures in
Phoenix as Hyomei.
The best people attest its curative
virtues, says the Larson Drug Co.
who is the local agent. The fair way
in which Hyomei was sold. to refund
the money unless ii gave satisfaction.
was the best proof when II was in
troduced that it possessed unusual
curative powers. Larson Drug Co.
took all the risk of the treatment Civ
ing satisfaction. and left it to the pur-
ehasers to be the judge.
Later, when Hyomei was used and
recommended by our well known ply
sicians and business men and their
wives as a treatment that absolutely
cured catarrh, no matter how serious
or long standing. the sales rapidly grew
and today there is no remedy in the
Larson Drug Co.'S large stock that has
such a large and staple sale.
The first breath Of Hyomei's healing
air kills all catarrhal poison.
Try Hyemei today on the Larson
Drug Co.'S offer to refund the money
if the treatment does not give you
satisfaction, and you will soon become
its friend and recommend it to others.
There's nothing else that gives such
quick curative results in catarrhal
conditions

cents. American Book Company. New
York. Cincinnati, and Chicago.
Forming one of the series OF Eclectic
readings, this book IS suited for the
third and fourth years in school The
story of Sanford and Merton, on
which ii is based. has long been rec
ognized as one Of the first among the
classics of childhood. II is here retold
in a moderniZed form, free from the
necessary digressions and tedious NOR
alizings which made the original tale
too complicated and slow fod modern
readers. Mr.. Johnson has omitted
whatever seemed unnecessary to the
narrative. and the result is n charming
story which most children VIII read
with unflagging interest and attention.
The quaint language of the original is
retained; and the lessons of courage
