under the guidance of the experienced
attorney-at-law had made an absolute
ly positive change for the better. The
miserable life of the prisoner was
saved by a method that is only too
often applied in cases which are con-

recall well the case of Policeman Will
liam H. Ennis. His is considered the
most remarkable of all the shamming
cases that ever came under the OBJ
servation of the Off Gals in Sing Sing.
Ennis was BrookfSn policeman. He
was married man, and as far as his
police record went good policeman
But he would get drunk, and when he
was in his cups there was no telling
what he would not do.
The bluecoat and his wife did not

shot and killed his wife, and then shot

lawyer pleaded and pleaded with great

also testified that in their opinion he

said word There were many in that

ECZEMA COVERED BABY.
Worst Case Doctors Ever Saw-Suf-
fered Untold Misery-Perfect
Cure by Cuticura Remedies.

my son, who is now twenty-five
years of age, when four months old
began to have eczema on his face,
spreading quite rapidly until he was
nearly covered. The eczema was some
thing terrible. and the doctors said it
was the worst case they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were
covered, all but his feet. 1 used many
kinds of patent medicines, to no avail.
A friend leased me to try Cuticura.
At last decided to try Cuticura when
my boy was three years and four
months old, having had eczema all that
time and suffering untold misery. I
began to use all three of the Cuticura
Remedies. He = was better in two
months; in six months he was well.

PAT SET ONLY ONE LIMIT.

All Things Earthly.

A rich man out in the suburbs who
owns a large place has among the
many people employed to keep it in
shape an Irishman of whom he is par
ticularly fond on account of his I'M
conscious wit, says Harper's Weekly.
This Irishman is something of a hard
drinker, and, as his income is limited,
he is more particular as regards the
quantity than the quality of hi7r
liquids The other day the employer
who had been awaiting a good oppor-
tunity, remarked in a kind tone, as
the closing sentence of a friendly lee
ture:
Nov, Pat, how long do you think
you can keep on drinking this cheap
whiskey?"
To which Pat instantly replied:

glad it's over and am ready to take
my medicine. You cannot imagine
what 1 have suffered during all these
long months while I was trying to
beat the chair. Now 1 am glad the
end is at hand"
I well remember the case of Mar
tin Thorn, the barber, who, together
with Augusta Mack, a midwife, killed
William Guldensuppe. a rubber in
Turkish BATH William F. Howe. the
veteran criminal lawyer, was his
senior counsel. Joseph Moss, now a
magistrate, and at that time also con-
nected with the firm of Howe & Hum
mel, was also of counsel. l sat next
to Thorn during his trial, which took
place in Long Island City, and later
on I saw him electrocuted in Sing
Sing.
There was nobody at that time who
understood more about putting up
the right king OF defense than did the
veteran Howe 1 remember going to
him just as the trial was about to
start and asking him what kind of
ID.
''Ah, my boy said Mr.. Howe to me,
Il don't know myself. That is, it all
depends upon circumstances. In the
first place we" Che always spoke Of
his client as WEI did not commit the
crime. Therefore, you see-and quite
readily too-that we are innocent of
this most awful charge that grand

case had confessed that Thorn had

helped the man to dispose of the body
of the victim.
What are you going to do now
about the defense?" I inquired.
Il have it! I have it," all at once
shouted Mr.. Howe, looking as happy
as schoolboy with new toy. What
do you think of it?'
THE only thing left you is insan-
ity,'' 1 suggested.
''And that is where you are wrong -
replied Mr. Howe. Il told you I had
it, Here is our new defense. I knew
it all the while. Now, please, don't
think that I just manufactured it.
Why, of course, we knew all the time
that this was the body of Guldensuppe,
although the head was missing. We
know, too, who killed the man. We

" At subject for an insane asylum
They called him the CRAZY cop
But the district attorney won HIS
point The jury found the policeman
guilty of murder in the first degree-
There was nothing else for the Judge
to do than to sentence the man to be
electrocuted at Sing Sing. Ennis heard
the sentence and acted as though he
did not know what was happening.
They took him to Sing Sing He was
weak and broken in health. He was
placed in one of the steel cages in the
death house and there the man sat, in
almost utter silence for nearly two
years, while his case was being passed
upon by the highest court in the state
During all these days and months
while Ennis was confined in the death
house he never spoke to one of the
other condemned men. Although they
tried their best to entertain the con-
victed policeman he never spoke to
them. When the warden and the keep
ers attempted to draw him into con-
versation Ennis would humble some
thing that they could not understand.
He would sit all day and long into the
night, always in crouching position.
When once a week they would open
his cell door and tell him to step out
side that he might be bathed and
shaved, he would hobble about as if
he was wild beast. But never a
word did he utter. At first he refused
to taste food. After a while he ate.

DR.. Irvine, the expert physician of
~ x@x@,e- 41o f,xry y1n
seemed to be in doubt as to whether
Ennis mind was really affected or not.
His case was widely discussed among
experts, but here was kind of in
sanity that was up to that time prac-
tically unknown.
One day there came word from AL
bany that the court of appeals had
confirmed the sentence and conviction
of the lower court, and that the death
sentence must be carried out accord
ing to law. Warden Johnson was puz-
zled.
Warden Johnson, who is a very con-
scientious man, reported to the gov
ernor and the latter, in order that no
injustice should be done and an in
sane man made to suffer the death
penalty, appointed a commission COM
posed of leading experts in insanity
and they went to Sing Sing and looked
at Ennis. They questioned the ward
en- and the keepers and from them
learned the story 1 have narrated
here.
IF we can only get his mind off
the subject said the doctors. IF he
is shamming we can find it out only
by getting his mind off the SUBJ

house and up to the operating room in
the hospital inside of the prison walls
There they placed him on an operat-
ing table and the chloroform was ad-
ministered. They gave him a small

Jump out of his skin, writes Gus Roe
der in the New York World.
What's the matter this morning?"
L inquired.
Nothing the matter" he replied,
"only here 1 was ready for the trial of
that man 1 was assigned to look after
on the charge of homicide, and that
fool has spoiled my defense
The lawyer explained: The case was
one of cold-blooded murder. 1t was a
homicide committed while in the act
of committing burglary The de-
fendant was an old-timer. The district
attorney was looking for a conviction
of murder in the first degree, the pun
ishment of which is death in the cleo
trio chair. The Sawyer who had been
assigned to defend the man surely was
up against it"
My man was insane at the time of
the shooting" said the attorney. The
district attorney laughed when he
heard about the kind of defense that
was to be offered.
Two months later the prisoner was
brought to court again. What
change, 1 was unable to identify the
man. His hair was long and looked as
though comb had never passed
through it There was a two months
growth of reddish beard on his face
His eyes were starry. Altogether the
defendant appeared more like a mon
ster than human being

IN his upper story" said the lawyer to
the assistant district attorney in
charge. The prosecutor seemed to
have his doubts In order to go to
trial in the case it was necessary to
get Jury, and then there was some
doubt as to whether. after all, con-
viction of murder in the first degree
could be secured

AFRAID OF PARALY SIS
4 NERVOUS SUFFERER CURED
BY Or. WILLIAMS PINK PILLS.
The Medicine That Makes Rich, Red

The Medicine That Makes Rich, Red
Blood and Performs Wonders as q
Tonic for the Nerves.
Why are nervous people invariably
pale people?
The answer to that question explains
why a remedy that acts on the blood
can cure nervous troubles.
1t explains why DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People are also for nervous
people.
1t is because of the intimate relation
between the red corpuscles in the blood
and the health of the nerves. The
nervous system receives its nourishment
through the blood. Let the blood be-
come thin, weak and colorless and the
nerves are starved-the victim is started
on the road that leads to nervous wreck.
Nervous people are pale people-but the
pallor comes first. Enrich the blood
and the nerves are stimulated and toned
up to do their part of the work of the
body. DR.. Williams Pink Pills make
red blood and transform nervous, irrit-
able, ailing people into strong, energetic,
forceful men and women.
