Boy after a Quarrel.
TOOK WATCH AND CASH
Jackson Awoke and Charged Him
with Robbery-Boy Struck
Victim in Effort to Re-
lease Himself.

New York, Aug. 2s.-Paul Geidel took
the stand In own behalf to-day and
told the u men who are trying him for
his life how William H. Jackson. the
aged Wall Street broker, came to his
death in the Iroquois Hotel. The l7-year-
old bell boy still bore the half dazed APP
pearancc which has been noted daily
since the trial began.
After testfyins that his acquaint-
ance with Jackson had been so friend
ily that the broker had given him Il
key to his room, Geidel related his
visit to the brokers' room on the night
OF his death.
II let myself into Mr.. Jackson's
room with my key" he said. M.
Jackson said he was glad to sec me
He told me to make myself comfort
able. We stayed in the sitting room
about an hour and then he went to
bed
"While l was sitting there he be-
came drowsy. l thought he was
asleep and I took his watch and chain
and six dollars and his cuff buttons.
Then he sat up and sard: You're d
thief and he grabbed me-"
Geidel said that Il fight started then
! How they fell in the struggle and each
/ seized the others throat. After getting
| to ,"cir feet again, Geidel said he struck
| the broker two or three times with his
fist. The aged man fell to the floor an d
after two or three vain struggles to &c,
up he fell back still Then the boy went
to the bath room and saturated a rag
with choroform, put it into the bro
kers mouth, then left the hotel,
Gedel denied that the alleged confess
sion which the police obtained from him
! on the night Of his arrest was the true
story of the affair and declared that the
police had not warned him Of his rights
The cross-examination failed to shake
| the boys story.

NOT SALTS, OIL OR
PILLS BUT CASCARETS
No odds how sick your Stomach !;
how hard your head aches or
how BiliOus-CasCarets
make you feel great.

You men and women who some
now can't get feeling right-who
have an almost daily headache,
coated tongue, foul taste and foul
breath. dizziness, cant sleep, are
bilious, nervous and upset, bother
ed with a sick. gassy, disordered
stomach, or have backache and
feel all worn out.
Are you keeping clean inside
with CRscarets, or merely forcing
a passageway every few days with
salts, cathartic pills or castor oil?
This is important.
Cascarets work while you sleep;
cleanse and regulate the stomach,
remove the sour, undigested and
fermenting food and foul gases;
take the excess bile from the liver
and carry out of the system all the
decomposed waste matter and poi
son in the intestines and bowels.
A Cascaret tonight will straight
en- you out by morning. 10-cent
box from any drug store will keep
your entire family feeling good
for months. Don't forget the
children. They love Cascarets be-
cause they taste good-do good
never grippe or sicken.
