Mrs. Surratt Was Innocent.

Almost fifty years after the aSsaSsina
ton OF Abraham Lincoln, the pen OF Ben
Pitman. pioneer of stenography, who acted
as official stenographer at the trial OF the
conspiratorS, has revealed facts support
ing his belief that Mrs. Mary Surratt. the
woman hanged with three Other conspir-
ators, was innocent ofthe crime for which
she was executed. The statement was
written by Pitman just before his death
about year ago, and appears in March
issue of a Cincinnati magazine.
A portion Of Pittman'S statement is:
"That Mrs. Surratt, who was hanged
with three male conSpiratorS concerned
in plot to assassinate President Lincoln
and other government officials, was en-
tirely innocent OF any prior knowledge OF
or participation in those crimes is, to my
mind, beyond question. My. conviction
is based on the following facts:
THAT as official recorder OF the trial /;
as having heard every word OF the teStl-
mony; as compiler Of the published VOL
ume, Lincoln Assassination TRIAL more
than all, as having previous to the trial
written down from the lips of the prInci-
pal witnesses their stories OF what they
knew, or about which, in their employ
ment of spies, they lied, have had the
best opportunity of forming true opinion
as 10 the guilt or innocence OF Mrs. Sur
raTt."

Death in a Woman,s Gossip.

Mrs. Mary Martin Raines, wife of
Joshua Raines, the man who shot and
killed Miss Eva Chambers, highly re-
spected school teacher of Roanoke county,
Va, on Jan. "a, has been arrested and
placed in jail at Salem on the charge Of
being an accessory before the fact to the
murder which her husband committed.
This horrible tragedy grew out of Mrs.
RaineS' reckless and wanton gossip. Miss
Chambers for three years had acceptaoly
taught the Pine Grove school, where she
was killed, without word Of objection
until she ceased to board at the Raines
home. Then Mrs. Raines and her family
began TO manifest enmity toward her and
circulated petition charging Miss Cham
bers with using indecent language in the
presence of her pupils. The school
board thoroughly sifted the charges and
completely exonerated Mss Chambers,
who then instituted suit against Mrs.
Raines for $1,000 for SANDER. 1t was af-
ter Miss Chambers had refused to With
draw this suit that Mr.. Raines deliberately
shot her to death. To avoid the menace
of the intense public sentiment which the
deed inspired Raines was taken to PulaS-
XII jail. For the same reason the removal
OF Mrs. Ralnes to Salem Jail was consld-
cred wise precautionary measure. She
is suspected of incIting her husband to
the crime.
Who can measure the harm that is done
by the evil gossip OF foolish and en-
vious woman? This and other tragedies
afford dreadful warning OF the danger
that always turks therein.
Raines was indicted by a special grand
jury at Salem last Saturday for murder

HOW OLD PEOPLE
Nav Prolong Their Lives

At an advanced age waste Is more
rapid than repair. The organs act
more slowly and less effectually than
in youth. The circulation is poor, the
blood thin and vatery. the appetite
poor and digestion weak.
We want to say to every aged per
son in this vicinity that Vinol, our de-
licious cod liver and iron tonic with
out OLD will prolong life. 1t creates
an appetite, aids digestion and makes
good blood. In this natural manner
yinol retards waste and replaces
weakness with strength, giving new
life to the worn system.
II people in this vicinity only real
ized how Vinol invigorates old people
we would lot be able to supply the
demand.
Try a bottle of Yinol with the un-
derstanding that your money VIII Dc
