WIFE DROVE HIM TO
MURDER, LEWIS PLEA

WEST CHESTER, Pa, Jan. o.
Compelled to ocme to court by an at
tachment issued by Judge Hemphill.
Edna Newlin Lewis, mother OF the
murdered child, Mary Newlin, will go
on the witness stand to-day. an un-
willing witness for her husband, who
is accused of the crime.
Having refused to obey the subpoena.
upon her by the attorneys of the pris-
oner, Mrs Lewis was found last night
In Malvern at the home Of Wesley Gra-
ham, whom she is visiting. She was
ordered TO appear today and promised
TO do so.
She is wanted by the defence to help
show that beginning with the month of
March, 1907, three months after her
marriage to Irwin A. Lewis. her hus-
band became morose and subject to fits
of melancholy which increased until the
fatal June day when Mary Newlin, the
-year-old illegitimate child, disap-
peared. This is all that Lewis's at
torneys desire TO get from her II
is a part Of their insanity defence. They
will make a desperate effort TO pre-
vent the Commemorative attorney from
cross-examining her upon anything
else.
That the motive OF Edna Lewis in
refusing to come to the trial voluntar-
lily 20 aid her husband was the fact
that he is the slayer OF her daughter
is Indicated by revelations made this
morning before to-day's session Of the
trial began. Both Thomas w. Pierce
and William S. Windle, the defendant'a
attorneys, have hitherto been silent
about the case, but now that IL is be-
fore the jury that insanity Is to be the
only defence Mr.. Wlndle opened his
lips concerning inside facts of the re-
markable case which throw a different
aspect upon Il.
II now develops that It was not so
much the taunts OF his young men
friends that goaded Lewis to fury
against his wife's illegitimate child as
It was the words of the young woman
herself who. Il is declared, constantly
talked to her husband about the girls
father, Lawrence BuclSner. and fiaunt-
ed his photograph before Lewis's eyes.
Buclxner who made the young woman's
acquaintance when both weer employ
ed at the Chester County Almshouse
at Embreeville, now lives near Ashe-
Vile. N. c.
IF ever a husband was in a position
more CALLING. and more calculated to
drive a mind naturally weak TO an
insane act, have yet to hear Of it."
said Mr.. Windle.
That boy was and still is madly in
love with his wife. He was actually
silly over her. and it has been appar-
ent TO us evr since we were called into
this affair that she cared really litNa
for him."

There is a limit to the weight a man

The cause of dyspepsia, indigestion

An adequate idea OF the intense in.
terest which has been aroused by
young Mr.. Cooper during the past year
with his theories and medicines is
given in the following article which
appeared in the Cincinnati Post while
Cooper was introducing his ideas to
the people of that city. The article
says: 1.-The beginning of Mr.. Cooper's
second week in Cincinnati gives every
indication that he is to enjoy the same
astonishing success here as IN other
cities.
'tFrom the first day Of his visit the
crowds that call to see him have stead
lily increased until now it has reached
q point where several thousand talk
with him each day. The entire city
seems to have become interested in his
theory that the human stomach is
degenerate, and he already has an
army of followers in Cincinnati who
seem positive that his claims are cor
rect.
"A number Of Cincinnatians were
interviewed at Cooper's headquarters
on Friday, and several interesting
statements, showing their intense faith
in Cooper's preparations, were secured.

lntemperance in Eating.

Youths Companion.
1t is in eating that there is more in
temperance than many other of
mans indulgences. 1t would sur
prise and grieve many a man, who
would not touch IL drop of liquor to
save his life, to be told that he was
as Incorporate as the greatest slave
OF alcohol, yet there are numbers of
just such persons. They will eat
three hearty meals day with meat,
and drink one or two cups OF coffee
or tea with each meal, and perhaps
nibble at little "snacks' between
meals, besides taking a bite-and a
good big one-before retiring, and
yet scorn the man who drinks, how
ever moderately, anything contain
ing alcohol. One need not praise
the drinker, who deserves no praise,
in saying that the over-eater is the
greater sinner.
