have been almost heartbroken since the

since that time lost several pounds of

ty-three years old and unmarried and
followed the profession of artist since
early youth. For time he worked in
Chicago. his work consisting of oils. and
he also did some work in black and white

back with her her brothers suit case
and also his trunk, together with their
contents.
Commonwealth Attorney Brent this
afternoon called on Mrs. Gillette and
informed her what she would be ex-
pected to testify to on the stand. She
will probably take the stand at the
