CONVICT ASKS .
DIVORCE CALLS
WIFE FAITHLESS
Killed Man Who Talked About
Her, Now He Wants
Separation.
Especial to the Evening star.l

TRENTON, Nov. 20.-A tragic story
is told in the petition for divorce for
warded to Chancellor Pitney by Fran
cesco p. Odierno, a convict, in the New
Jersey State prison, serving a term of
ten years from Hudson county for man
slaughter.
The petition tells of the marriage of
Odierno to Filomena di SABBATH, in the
Province of Salerno, Italy, in July, 1892.
Their married life was happy. She be-
came infatuated with Aniello Oria.
Finally, Odierno alleges that the af-
fair became the talk OF the neighbor-
hood, and he says that he became a
subject for joking among his com
panions.
One of the foremost among those
who spread the report regarding his
wife was one Nhnzio Orso. One day in
December, 1904, Odierno demonstrated
with Orso for spreading the report and
In argument ensued. Then, according
to Odierno, he shot Orso in self-de-
tense.
He was tried. convicted and sentenced
to ten ear for manslaughter. Since
his term in prison began, Odierno
points out, his wife and Oria have been
living in New York, and for that reason
he asks that he be granted a divorce.

BOY SLAYERS OF
READ NERVOUS
WRECKS IN CELL
All Three Are Guilty of Murder
in Equal Degree Under
Law.

VINELAND, Nov. 2~0.-Realizing now
that their young and misspent lives will
without much doubt be ended in the
electric chair at Trenton within a few
months, the youthful self-confessed
murderers of William Read, whose life
they took to gain his gold last Friday
night. have changed completely in their
demeanor. In the Cumberland county
Jail, at Bridgeton. Walter Zeller, the
grandson, and Cline Wheeler. jr., sit
v wrecks in their cells.
In the City Hal in this city is Her
bert Griggs. On Wednesday, when ar
rested, he was the personi1cation of
innocence, and even caused the officers
to doubt his completely in the murder.
Yesterday afternoon, after making a
confession, he broke down, and is in a
state of collapse.
While each blames the other for the
shooting of the old man. 1t matters not
which one actually fired the shots into
the old mans head. County Prosecutor
Fithian. Of Brldgeton, says that each
is equally guilty.
Since Mr.. Fithian has been the prose-
cutor of Cumberland county he has
tried -four murder cases, and In each
instance the accused person has gone
either to the gallows or to the electric
chair.

sponsibility and the meaning of his re-
cen audience with the emperor.

pleasures of unofficial social life. He
longs for retirement. and he looks for
ward to the pleasures of private life.

Poor Tools and
A Good Worker
That Is What Makes Indigestion,
Dyspepsia, Scum Taste, Foul
Breath and Catarrh.

The stomach is a good strong vital
organ, which Is constantly protecting
and feeding every other organ OF the
body.
1t is the most abused, neglected and
scorned member of man also. Most men
abuse their stomach with under-cooked
food, high living. alcohol. tobacco,
pastries and scores of other unhealthy
practices.
When the stomach at last sickens Of
all this abuse and cannot do Its full
duty, most men are not warned but
keep I'D their assaults on the stomach
|, until at last it rebels and begins to
strike back and cry for help. Man by
his w abuse has taken away from
the stomach the tools to work with.
These tools are the gastric juices
which go to make up the digestive
agents. From 7 to 35 lbs. of gastric
Juice are turned into the tomach every
day.
When poor, poisonous food consumes
this juice, dilutes 1t. robs 1t of Its
strength and throws it. a fermented
mass. from the system, Of course there
is Just thai much of the gastric u
which cannot be readily supplied by the
blood.
When food comes into a stomach fill
ed with depleted fluids lacking of pow
er to do their part, the good. strong
stomach Is using poor tools and, OF
course, cannot succeed In its work.
A condition which often prevails
is hat which takes place when tht
gastric juice contains too much, alkali
II the Juice were wholly alkaline II
would not only devour and digest the
fluid but would eat and digest the stom-
ach itself. Such gastric fluid does
the digestion no good and attacks the
walls of the somach, making them
raw and sore and setting up infiam-
nation and irritation. .
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Will
strengthen a stomach filled with poo
gastric Juice. They will remove any
abnormal alkaline condition. allay irri'
tation, sweeten the breath, removt
catarrhal conditions and digest food nj
matter how the stomach has acted be-
fore.

tractive and became acquainted with
Beady while he was acting here.
