Ton as has that Of Thomas Edgar
STRIPPING. who was recently taken to
Columbus. Ca. from Danvillc, Va, to
DeGin life sentence for the murder
OF William j. Corvette. nearly fifteen
years ago. In Virginia also. where for
several years Stripping. or Morris, al
ne called himself. was chief Of police
or city, II great deal Of interest has
becn taken in the case. W. b. Baldwin,
q weii-known Virginia detective. has
secured many letters asking for q par
don for Stripping from his (Baldwin's)
personal friends.
However, IL appears that there Is
somewhat OF a change OF sentiment in
me case According to a dispatch from
Atianta. letters have been received by
Governor Brown asking that the names
OF tho writer's be stricken from tho
petitions for pardon. as they have
changed their minds since hearing the
other side Of the case. The case * set

BY anaenia Of the brain. In other
words. when you sleep the blood
drains away from the head to the

OF the foot Of the bed would begin to
sink. and the deeper tho sleep the
greater tho slant.
THAT IL why . hot bath tends to

has tho same effect and for the same
reason. You know how cold swells
and reddens the hands.

Well, 4 piece Of bone has been remov-
