The specific charge was that he had
sworn and shaken his fist at an UNI
known man who had fired two shots
at him. The magistrate was dumb
founded. He asked for the man who
had done the shooting and the police
man explained that the man had es-
capped. Thinking that some arrest
should be made in the case. the police
man had arrested the man shot at,
who made no effort to escape. The
magistrate promptly dismissed the

himself that he would punish all

the streets Of the Bronx after 1
o'clock in the morning and he instruct
ed the policemen Of the borough to ar
rest all young men who were out on

In indianapolis Early In his stage
career he met and married Mrs. Hon

couple proved tempestuous. Mrs. Jor-
dan. according to her husband, took to
drinking and associating with other
men. This led to jealous quarrels be-
tween the two and It was one OF these
Quarrels that ended in the death OF the
wife.
The murder was committed In the
home Of the couple In 6Omerville. In
the heat Of quarrel. according TO
Jordan's own statements. he struck his
wife and the blow caused her death
The husband went out and bought q

severed his wife's head. also the legs.
Then he tried to destroy al trace Of
them by burning them in the furnace Of
his home. He put the rest of the body
in trunk and came to Boston with
the CHASTITY burden, stopping at a
boarding house preliminary to taking a
steamer for New York. 1t was his in
tention to get rid Of what remained OF
his wife by throwing the headless torso
into the water while the boat was en-
route for New York.
Up to this point all had zone well
with the young murderer. But when
lie arrived at the wharf he found that
the New York steamer had gone. He
then hired a cabman to drive him
back to the boarding house. His nerv-

The police suspected that the trunk
might contain stolen goods. as up to
this time there was no suspicion that a
murder had been committed. When
the officers entered the room and ex-
amined the trunk against Jordan's pro-
tests they were dumbfounded by their
CHASTITY discovery. WI. IN taken to the
station the young man calmly told the
entire story and an examination Of the
apartment at Somerville bore out the
horror Of the crime to which he con-
fessed.
During the trial Jordan listened to
the revolving details of the murder
with the utmost nonchalance After he
had been convicted and sentence OF
death had been passed upon him. one
of the Jurors went insane. This WAS
four days later. Counsel for Jordan
appealed the case on the ground that
the juror had been insane during the
trial. The Massachusetts, court denied
the contention and the appeal was
taken to the supreme court Of the
United States. The latter tribunal up
held the decision Of the Massachusetts
court and Jordan was sentenced for the
second time to die in the electric chair

people hesitate about investing money
in medicine because they have des-
paired of ever getting well. Thousands
have told me that story and many
thousands OF the same people have told
me afterwards that my treatment had
cured them after doctors and every
thing else had failed. I want to show
these despairng people that ali the
