SICKLY Chilli
Made Well BY Vinol-Letters
from a Grateful Mother

New Haven. Conn.-"My little girl
eve since her birth, was frail and
sickly and nothing seemed to do her
any good until we tried your cod liv-
er and iron tonic, Vinol. AS o as
she commenced to take 1t, I noticed
an improvement in her health and ap-
pearance. She has now taken three
bottles OF Vinol, and from the good 1t
has done her l can say 1t will do all
you claim for 1t in building up and
Strengthening frail and delicate chill
dren." (Name furnished on ~request.)
Another mother of Chicago, ILL.,.
writes: II can not say too much in
praise of Vinol for delicate, ailing
children"
We ask every mother of a frail.
sickly or ailing child in this vicinity
to try Vinol on our agreement to re-
turn their money If it does not do all
we claim.

are eager to learn, but at present there
are only two teachers along the Macken-

Was In the Road Five Hours Before the
 Beattie Tragedy.
FIRST TESTIMONY FOR THE DEFENSE
Another Witness Saw Strange Looking Prover-Chzuf- feur Tells of Hghwayman- Attempt to Establish Veracity of the Accused Prosecution Said to De Ready with Rebuttal of Points Brought Out.

Chesterfield Courthouse, Va.,. Aug. 30. Testimony corroborative of the story told by Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., that a bearded highwayman killed his wife with a shotgun was introduced by the defense in the Beattie trial today when W. R. Holland, who lives in the vii cinity of the Midlothian turnpike, where the murder occurred, declared that he had seen a bearded man with a shotgun there about five hours before the tragedy.
 Three Times Before the Murder.
 It was the first move of the defense after the prosecution rested it's case at noon tocay to establish the veracity ot the prisoner, and besides Holland statement concerning man with a shotgun, Eugene Henshaw. q farmer who travels the Midlothian turnpike . daily testified that he saw strange looking man proving around on three different days 1before the murder. It is reported tonight that the prescott ton is ready when it's time for rebut- tai arrives to put on the stand the man who passed along the railroad tracks where Holland said he saw man with a shotgun and that the new ing that day.
 How an Automobile JoIts.
 The defense summoned many wit
  ing the bearded man, expert testimony was introduced as to the bouncing qualities of an automobile similar to that driven by Beattie, thereby ac- counting for the jolting out from the car of the shotgun placed in a rear seat by Beattie after the encounter with the alleged highwayman. The prosecution attacked this line of evl- derce on cross examination It con- tended that the railroad crossing where Beattie claims the gun must have been elected from the car was a smooth one and that the jolt wnlcn might have resulted from crossing thss tracks where the rails are exposed necessarily would have tossed the sreapon forward from the crossing n stead of directly sideways parallel with the track where the gun was fouiio- The idea of the prosecution has peen to indicate that Beattie himself slow ed down at the crossing and threw the gun to one side on his way to the Owen home with his dead wife.

GEIDEL JURY AT
 SCENE OF THE CRIME.
In Company With the Judge, They
 Visited the Iroquois Hotel.

New York, Aug. 30.-The twelve men who are trying Paul GeideI for his life, on a charge Of murderinS William H. Jackson, visited this evening the room in the Iroquois hotel where the aged brother met his death, it is alleged, at the hands of the youthful bellboy. In company with Judge Grain the jury went over the entire ground which has beeen connected by testimony with the events surrounding the death of Jackson.
 Points Cleared Up.
 Before starting on the trip the court secured from the defense waiver of all it's rights as regards the taking of Testimony while the boy prisoner was not present. With many points clear ed to their apparent satisfaction by their trip of inspection, the jurymen returned to court and were dismissed until tomorrow, when the case will be caI:inued.
 During the afternoon the prosecu- ton continued it's fight to refute the declaration of the defense that Jack son died of heart failure and not at the hands of the bellboy.
 State Rested Its Case.
 The testimony iornindicates that the life of syoung Geidel may depend upon whether his counsel can prove that the broker. died from natural causes. Sev- era1 physicians were placed on the stand who gave testimony in direct opposition to that of the witnesses of the defense. With the examination of these men the state rested it's case.
 Brokers Brother on the Stand.
 A touching scene was enacted when Dr. Frank w. Jackson, brother of the dead man, was recalled to the stand by the prosecution. Despite the fact that Dr. Jackson testified that in his opinion his brother could not have died of myo-carditis, his, effort to be un-z prejudiced was evident to all in the court room.
 ''AH we want is the truth,'' said At torney Gray of the Geidel counsel in addressing the witness.
 God knows that is what am here for this afternoon answered the doc- tor, his voice breaking. T came here, MT Gray, to help you all I can. I went to an autopsy in hope that l could find some natural cause of death. But I couldn't
 We know that, Dr. Jackson; we know that said MT. Gray.
 It was fully three minutes before Dr. Jackson recovered his composure and was able to continue.
