If girl has danced late and slept

subject for your inhuman practice. You
tell her that she needs something or

that she is on the verge of grippe or
tottering on the brink of typhoid fever.
You cite the cases where people you
know have died because they did not
take time by the forelock. What you
admonish her to do to avoid a quick
demise is to take the bottle by the neck.
You frighten her into the belief that
mere superficial ailment which rest
and fresh air and common sense will
cure is a threat of protracted illness
or speedy dissolution. Then, when you
have wrought her up to a state of
nervous indecision, you offer some one
of the dopes you favor.

SECOND DEGREE MURDER
is THE .GEIDEL VERDICT
The Bell Boy Escapes the Electric
Chair-WiiI Not Appeal,

New York, Sept. 1.-The jury in the
case of Paul Geidel, the II year old
bell boy, charged with the murder of
William Jackson in the Iroquois hotel
on July 26, returned a verdict of mlr-
der in the second degree this morning.
The jury had been locked up all night
The crime of which he was convicted
was the murder of James H. Jackson
at the Iroquois hotel BY the verdict
of the jury Geidel escapes the electric
term in either Sing Sing or Auburn
prison.
Sentence Probably Next Tuesday.
Motions were deferred by Judge
Grain until next Tuesday when SEN
tence will probably be pronounced. A
verdict of second degree murder pro-
vides for Imprisonment for minimum
term of twenty years to a maximum
sentence of Imprisonment for life.
Nothing to Say to the Verdict.
When Geidel was brought into court
to learn his fate he was pale. Tears
welled into his eyes and rolled down
his face when he heard the verdict
and he clenched his hands in an eff
fort to control himself. None of his
relatives was in court. The prisoner
had nothing to say after the verdict
was pronounced and he was quickly
led away to the Tonbs prison.
Paufs mother, waiting at the Tom BIS,
was told by an attendant of the ver-
dict.
"I am overjoyed,' she said. MY
sons life is saved. When I was first
told about Paul 1 thought my life had
been stopped and that I could never
look at people any more. Since came

and 1 am glad that my sons life has
been saved
Mrs Geidel will see Paul this aft
ernoon and then arrange for her re-
turn home to Hartford, Conn.
Will Be No Appeal.
James A. Gray, counsel for Geidel,
this afternoon made a statement de-
claring that he was satisfied with the
verdict of murder in the second de-
gree. When he gave copies of his
statement to the press he remarked
that in making this statement it was
as much as to say that he would not
appeal from the verdict rendered.
