NEW ISSUE IN
 THE M'YAY CASE Judge Grace May Sustain tain Contention of Counsel
 For John McVay.
INDICTMENT ERROR
Motion For New Trial Being Resist ed by Distrioa Attorney Nixon
 With Strong Afiidavits.

After hearing the arguments Ill support of and resisting the motion for new trial in the case of the State against John M. McVay. who was adjudged guilty of a first degree murder charge in the Jefferson cir cuit court here last week, for the mu1d of J. w Ethridge, of Fall Back, Miss in the court house here on November 20, 1911, Judge A. B. Grace yesterday afternoon took the case under advisement and announced that he would pass on it within the next two or three days. While no in- timation has been made of Judge Graces intention either by the attor- neys or the jurist himself, there is ground fer believing that the point HOW made by the defense may be sus- tained.
 The belief is strengthened by the fact that counsel for McVay yester- day cited more than a dozen cases from our. own Supreme Court and other supreme courts, sustaining their contentious in regard to the alleged defective indictment. None were cit ed to the contrary.
 This rumor is based on a new point of law that was raised yesterday by Attorneys w. F. Coleman, J. M. Shaw and Lewis Rhotons the latter of Lit tie Rock, counsel for the, defendant. ! Judge Grace, in taking the case under advisement, himself announced from \ the bench that the attorneys for Me Way had introduced an entirely new legal point into their, amended mo tion and in their argument in behalf of their client. Judge Grace said that z he lad not given the point raised any thought in the McVay case and for that reason he would have to consid- CT the matter for a day or two before either granting the application of the attorneys for the defense or denying the defendant a new trial in the cir cult court.
 This contention is an important one, it is said by lawyers, in the Mo Way case It, was to the effect that the court had erred in instructing the jury that if they found that either or the McVays were present aiding in 2 ~aplot to kill J. w Ethridge they would aLot have to consider whether John McVay fired the fatal shot or not, and that he was guilty, as charged in the indictment even if he did not fire a shot during the shooting that result ed in the death of Ethridge.
 The defense contends that the in dictment does not include the word "accessory" and that the instruction of the Court was in direct contradic- !. tion of the indictment as drawn when it instructed the jury to find McVay guilty if it was shown that he was ev- .en an accessory to the crime. The Indictment charges that John McVay shot and killed Ethridge. h}
 While the defense lists as one of its grounds for asking for, 9 new trial

fainting spells, dizziness, then
numb and cold feelings. Some
times my feet and limbs were

so much backache and headache,
was nervous, irritable and was

petite was good but more often it
was not. My kidneys troubled
me at times and l could walk
only a short distance.
Il saw your advertisement ina
paper and took Lydia E. Pink

l was helped from the first. AT
the end Of two months the swell
ling had gone down, l was re-

COFFEE HURTS
One in Three.

It is difficult to make people believe
that coffee is a poison to at least n
person out Of every three, but people
are slowly finding it out, although
thousands OF them suffer terribly be-
fore they discover the fact.
A New York hotel maj says: Each
time after drinking coffee l became
restless, nervous and excited, SO that
was unable to sit five minutes in one
place, was also inclined to vomit and
suffer from loss of sleep, which got
worse and worse.
"A lady said that perhaps coffee was
the cause of my trouble, and suggested
that l try Postum. l laughed at the
thought that coffee hurt me, but she
insisted so hard that l finally had
some Postum made. I have been u.s.
ing it in place Of coffee ever since, for
/ noticed that all my former nervous
ness and irritation disappeared. be-
gan to sleep perfectly, and the Postum
tasted as good or better than the old
coffee, so what was the use Of stick.
ing to a beverage that was injuring
me?
"One day on an excursion up the
country l remarked to a young lady
friend on her greatly improved appear
ance. She explained that some time
before she had quit using coffee and
taken to Postum. She had gained a
number of pounds and her former pal
pitation of the heart, humming In the
ears, trembling of the hands and legs
and other disagreeable feelings had
disappeared. She recommended me to
quit coffee and take Postum and was
very much surprised to find that l had
already made the change.
"She said her brother had also re-
ceived great benefits from leaving of
coffee and taking on Postum" There's
q reason"

From Forty-Five to Fifty Are Much Benefited
by
lydia E.. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

The "change Of life Is a most
critical period in a woman's ex-
istence, and the anxiety felt by
women as it draws near Is not
without reason.
When her system is IN a de-
ranged condition, she may be
predisposed to apoplexy, or con-
gestion of some organ. At this
time, also, cancers and tumors
are more liable to form and begin
their destructive work.
Such warning symptoms as
sense of suffocation, hot flashes,
headaches, backaches, dread of
impending evil, timidity, sounds
in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes,
Irregularities, constipation, var-
able appetite, weakness and
inquieiude, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected.
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are
crying out for assistance and the
cry should be needed in time.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is prepared to meet
the needs of women's system at
this trying period of her life. It
invigorates and strengthens the
female organism and builds up
the weakened nervous system.
It has carried many women safely
through this crisis.

Expensive Criminals

Convicts suspected of having incen-
diary tendencies will be placed at
work in the fireproof brick manu-
featuring plant at Jackson prison
when the machinery for the manu-
facture of brick and tile arrives at
the prison. 1t is believed that this
further plans for the destruction of
prison property by the fire route. 1t
is planned to commence the manu-
facture of brick and tile within the
next few weeks. The machinery me-
cessary for the new industry has
been ordered and is expected to ar
rive within a month.
The plant will have the advantage
over the other industries at the
prison in that it will be absolutely
fireproof and the convict who has
any flrebug tendencies will be un-
able to operate successfully in the
building. A machine will be placed
in the clay pit, several miles from
the city, convict labor being used
in operating the machine and min
ing the clay. The clay will be
loaded upon cars and brought to the
prison plant, where the brick and
tile will be manufactured.
