COUNSEL.
HOLD CONFERENCE
Spend Day With Prisoner Seeking Some Means of
Breaking Down Damaging Testimony of
Luther L. Scherer.

since the first two days he has been
going stronger. At first Attorneys
Smith and Hill Carter seemed to out
maneuver him in getting evidence be-
fore the jury. This was not the case
Friday and Saturday, and one move
would have made up tor all wasted
opportunities thus far. 1t was just
before the jury went out to inspect
the blood stained automobile.
Why Jury Inspected Cushions.
Il wish the jury instructed to lift
up the cushions" said Mr.. Wenden-
burg, ito look at the relative amount
OF blood on the right hand and left
hand seats and on the same parts or
the front floor; to lift up the boards
there and to see II blood could have
leaked through the dust pan: TO crawl
under the car and judge for them,
selves II blood could have dr1pped
through onto the road"
Mr. Smith objected and the court re
fused to order the jury to do these
things. But when the jury went out
few minutes later, they omitted to car
~ out none of the special prosecutor
suggestions. The court order made no
difference.
Testimony Well Arranged.
The order of testimony was well ar
ranged. Back from this inspection came
the jury, and heard Luther L Scherer
describe the car as he saw it in Beat
ties presence the day after the muir
der. The jurors listened not only in
tently, but with intelligence. They ur-
derstood now what Mr.. Scherer was
about
Beattie is a marvellous youth, and his
ways are puzzling. All the long after
noon he heard Mr.. Scherer tell fact
after fact damaging to his cause, and
yet when the court granted permission
for Beattie to spend today in the Rich
mond city jail and offered Mr.. Scherer
as an officer OF the court to take him
In, Beattie rode in with his chief OPP

Wrinkleless Skin
Now Easy to Have
CFrom Family Physician }


There's no excuse for any woman hav-
ing wrinkles now. II has been found
that a simple mixture of saxolite and
witch hazel has a remarkable action
upon the deepest wrinkles, no matter
what their nature, whether caused by
worry. habitual frowning. a debilitated
condition or the ravages of Father
Time This harmless remedy, which
anyone can easily make and use at
home, acts both as an astringent and a
tonic. The combined effect Of tightening
the skin and heightening it's vitality is
to Immediately affect every line and
wrinkle, keeping the cuticle smooth and
firm as in youth.
The proportions are one ounce sax
olite (powdered) to one-half pint witch
hazel The solution should be used as
wash lotion. 1t is equally effective In
dispoSing of 1abbiness of cheek anil

THE work of Colonel Keeler following
