II believe" said DIR. John Reigelman,
the Coroner's physician who performed
the autopsy, that the child was given
a drug. AS Is shown by the burning OF
her lips. II was not carboilc acid. 1t
was perhaps chloroform or some other
anesthetic. The odor has evaporated
and superncially neither the lungs nor
other organs betray the Identity Of the
poison.

The slashes on her hands and arms

were made. IT eliminated In all proba-

and then the deadly wound to the heart.
The weapon used was = two-edgsd

EXCEPTIONS ovERRULeo
In Case Twice Before Law Court and
Thrice in Trial Court.


The law Court, Wednesday, handed
down per enrtam rescript in the AM
droseoggin county case Of William
Hughes rs. Ann Hughes and Thomas
Hughes. which has been three times
before the trial court and twice before
the law court, The case came to the
law court the second time on excep
tons TO the presiding Justices order
of nom suit and these exceptions are
everruled in, the, rescript,. the text of
which is as follows:
In this action against his mother
and brother for money had and re-
ceived,r the plaintiff seeks 10 recover
the sum of $500. alleged TO have been
taken by the defendants from the
plaintiffs old coat hanging in the eel
lar under his mothers house. on the
first day Of July 1909, and TO have
been converted by them to their own
use and benefit.
The case has been before the tria!
court three times and twice before the
law court. At the first trial. the jury
disagreed; at the second trial, the
plaintiff recovered verdict for the
amount claimed, which was set aside
by the law court as against the evil
dence. AT the third trial. after the
Introduction of the plaintiffs evil
denee, the presiding justice ordered a
nonsuit, and the case came to the law
court second time on exceptions to
this ruling.
The plaintiff was a man so years of
age, who was unable TO read or write,
had never learned any trade or had
any regular business of any kind. He
always worked at the most common
and mental kinds of labor and never
had steady job. for any considerable
period of time. He had frequently
been before the court for intoxication
and assault and battery and compelled
to pay fines, 1t was utterly unrea
sonable in the first place that man
of his character and habits and inter-
mittent employment, could have ac-
cumulated $500 above the amount re-
quired for his support.
In view OF these facts. which APP
peared at the former trial. the con-
trolling reason assigned by the court

In order to show beyond all doubt

away ten thousand dollars worth of this
medicine, and anyone suffering from these
diseases can get box of it absolutely free.
All that is Necessary is to send me your ad-

the word.
For twenty-five years--a quarter of CEN
tury--l have been trying to convince the pub
lie that have something genuine, something
better than others have for the cure of stub
born, chronic rheumatism, for torturing kid
ney baekache, for annoying calls to urinate.
But it is hard to convince peopie--they try a
few things unsuccessfully and give up all hope
and refuse to listen to anyone thereafter.
Happily, l am in position to demon
strate to sufferers at my own expense that
have a medicine that cures these diseases.
don't ask them to spend any money to hrd
out; don't ask them to believe me, nor even
to take the word of reliable people, but all
ask is that they allow me to send them the
medicine at my own cost. That is surely fair.
To this end / have set aside ten thousand
dollars. which will be used 10 compound my
medicine. Much of it is ready now to be
sent out, all of it fresh and standard. There
will be enough for all sufferers, though there
be thousands of them. And anyone who
needs it can get some of it free But in
order that | shall know that you have dis
ease for which this medicine IS intended. I
ask you to send me some of your leading
symptoms. II you have any of the symptoms
in the list printed here you need my medicine
and if you will write / will gladly send
you a box of it free with full directions for
your use. Look the symptoms over, see
which symptoms you have, then write me

some playing. Two of tine touch

cr getting aside that verdict, was the
overwhelming improbability of the
PLAINTIFFS own story" In the rescript
1t is said:
3ns plaintiffs claim of having left
$500 in the pockets of an old coat
hanging upon the wall of cellar ex-
posed To entrance not only to the in
mates OF the house but TO people from
outside, is so inconsistent with the ex-
perience of human events that we are
unable to believe that such a state of
affairs could have existed. The stu
alton described is SO repugnant to the
claim of probability that it is beyond
Conception"
The evidence for the plaintiff now
before the court is substantially the
same as 1t was at the former trial.
The testimony of all the additional
Witnesses with one exception, is sim
ply cumulative. 1t tends to show
what was not controverted, that the
plaintiff bad been accustomed to work
fer different people at odd jobs during
the last - years. Mr.. Curtis, it is
true, testified that seven or eight
years ago the plaintiff exhibited quite
a large rell' of bills in his stable but
he had no definite idea of the number
and no knowledge of the value of
them.
It is possible that the plaintiff had
small amount of money in the pockets
of his8old coat in the cellar, but there
is no evidence that the mother had
any knowledge of it. She was very
old and feeble in both mind and body
If she actually sold the old coat to
Jew as the PLAINTIFF claims she told
him she did. she would naturally have
been confused and intimidated by his
charge of larceny, and might have felt
morally responsible for the loss of the
money. The evidence fails to con-
meet the brother with the loss in any
manner whatever, and it is utterly in
sufficient TO prove that the mother ac-
tualiy received any of it.
At this trial no evidence for the de-
PENDANTS was introduced. But courts
are not compelled to accept unreason-
able and incredible evidence as a suf-
fieient basis for a legal judgment, sim
ply because il is not contradicted by
direct and positive testimony.
Exceptions overruled. %
