COLOMBO MAY

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
DOVER. Del, Feb, THE Senate

tative Moore's bill giving the court the
discretion OF imposing sentence Of life

to pass the Legislature. II was ex-
planned in the Senate by Senators NIL
Ter and Monaghan and was passed
without a dissenting vote.
The bill will now go TO Governor
Pennewill for his action. II is thought
he will sign H. Should the Governor
sign the bill. thereby making Il law,
il is expected the Board Of Pardons
will commute to life Imprisonment the
death sentence imposed upon George
Colombo. OF Wilmington, who was con-
victed OF assaulting a girl. All the
Jurors in Colomobo case have united
I'm recommending mercy for him, and
II is understood the judges who sat in
the case and Attorney-General Gray
are not opposed TO a cOmmutation OF
sentence TO life imprisonment. The
Board of Pardons assumed the posi-
tion at its December meeting that It
could not commute the sentence from
hanging to life imprisonment because
the law provided for no punishment
other than hanging.
II has been pointed out by some per-
sons that the Board Of PardoAs has
commuted the sentence in other capi-

hanged on February H. until which

does not meet this week to consider
his case it is likely that the Governor
will grant a further respite.

WHAT is VINOL?
II Represents Twenty Years. Work of
Two Eminent Chemists.


After twenty years of study two
eminent French chemists discovered a
method by which the alkaloids or
medicinal elements of the Gods liver
might be separated from the useless
oil or grease, retaining all the good
of cod liver oil and dispensing with
the bad, as the oil has no medicinal
value. These medicinal elements
blended with tonic iron and mild
medicinal wine-make Vinol.
Vinol is not a secret medicine, as
its ingredients are printed on every
bottle, and in all cases where the
healing, strengthening infiuenc of cod
liver oil is needed, Vinol will give
better results, for it contains all the
curative medicinal properties of cod
liver oil, but without the oil, and Il
is easily assimilated and acceptable
to the weakest stomach.
For all rundown weakened condi-
tions, and to cure chronic coughs,
colds and bronchial troubles, Vinol is
unexcelled. We sell It always with
the understanding that if It does not
do all we claim for It, we will refund
the money paid US for Il. N. B. Dan
