BILLIk MAY ESCAPE.
Witness That Convicted Him Says He
Swore Falsely.

Chicago, Feb. 22-Eighteen year old
Jerry M. Vrza1, whose testimony more
than any other persons served to con-
Wet the Bohemian fortune teller, Her
man Billik. of the murder of six mem
bers Of the Vrzal family, has. it is an
nounced today, recanted, and in affida-
Wit declares that the testimony was
simple perjury.
March 20. The supreme court Thurs
day affirmed the judgment. destroying
the mans last chance unless Governor
Deneen shall issue pardon.
Not only does the vrzal boy i'm
pugn his own evidence, but he de-
clares two of his relatives also lie.
In the affidavit the boy states that
all the vital part Of the testimony he
gave against Billik at the trial was per-
jury, that was taught him by a high
police official and an assistant state
attorney. He specifically names the
men accused. In the affidavit Vrzal,
who is now a student in Valparaiso,
Ind, asserts that he told the story be-
cause a police official threatened him
with charge of murder unless he did
as the police wished him to do. The
credit for polishing off the fictitious
narrative he gives to an assistant
states attorney with whom, he says,
he was closeted 40 times, the confer
ences being from one to four hours in
duration.
He further asserts that the inspector
of police summoned him at least 90
times, and that these conferences US
ual1y lasted two hours. The confession
was obtained through the instrumen-
tally of the Rev. P. ]. O'Callaghan,
head of the Paulist Fathers in this
city, and pastor Of st. Mary's cathedral
church, working in Billik's behalf for
several months. Father O'Callaghan in
explaining his connection with the case
says:
1.-THE beginning of my interest dates
from last spring. In one Of my fire.
quent visits to the county jail I met
myself in a prisoner named Blink. She
said that he was there on the charge
of murder, but she knew he was an in
nocent, man. I said I had SO many
calls upon my time and sympathy that
I did not feel I could do anything for
the man. At any rate, I said, he was
a fortune teller. She answered.: But
he should not hang for being SUCH
II told her I thought the judge and
| the jury would do him justice. To my
establishment he was convicted and ]

an innocent man. Behind all the &C

| of Billik's innocence and the prayers OF
| the sisters who are called the poor
claires.' Sister Rose of Columbus hos

der of the missionary sisters of the Sa-

was she who converted the car barn
bandit, Gustav Marx, who was execu-

only one of the celebrated trio that died

UNPRECEDENTED BUSINESS.
UNPRECEDENTED BUSINESS.
Enormous Demand for Cooper's
Preparations Increasing.

1t was reported the first of the
week that Mr.. Cooper's visit would
close tonight, but on account Of the
unprecedented increase Of business he
has decided to prolong his stay here
for another week, SO that everyone
may have the opportunity to see him.
The reason for the great demand Of
Cooper's preparations at StansfeId's
pharmacy can be summed up as fol-
lows:
Cooper has a novel theory. He be-
leves the human stomach is respon-
sible for great deal Of disease. To
quote his own words from an inter-
average man or woman can not be
sick If the stomach is working proper
ly. To be sure. there are diseases OF
a virulent nature. such as cancer,
organic and therefore not directly
traceable to the stomach. But even
these terrible Affections in many cases
might have been prevented If the
stomach had always been working
properly. Almost all fevers are due to
something taken into the stomach. al
though they must run their course
when once started
ITO sum the matter up-a sound
digestive apparatus that Is doing its
full duty, getting every particle OF
vitality out of ell food by transferring
it to the bowels in a perfectly digested
condition-this above all else brings
health.
-This means an active. healthy
liver; blood that is rich, and free from
impurities; the bowels in healthy
condition.; the kidneys free from
strain, and the nervous system-in
fact the entire body-full of prime
soundness and rigorous activity"
So far as his visit to Topeka Is con-
cerned Cooper Is justified in staying
as the sale Of his medicine Is the
largest thing of the kind ever witness
ed in this city and his prophecy con-
corning the thanks he would receive
is also borne out, since many persons
are now calling to thank him.

THAT ROSE FINE.
Shawnee and WyandOtte COun-

Will Require a Lawsuit to

WHAT LAW PROVIDES

which one gets the fine assessed by

Rose OF Kansas City, Kan. may be

sessed and collected in the Kansas
courts go to the school funds in which
the fine is collected.
However, the Wyandotte people
seem to think that inasmuch as it
was Wyandotte county man that
was fined for an offense committed in
that county that this money should go
to the school fund there. The money
has been paid to Del Valentine, clerk
