was strikingly handsome woman.
On the morning of October "a, 1911,
Miss Katherine Mcpherson, DR..
Knabe's assistant, upon reaching her
employers apartment, found DR..
Knabe dead in her bedroom. Her
throat had been severed, but, strange
to say, there were no traces of blood
upon the bed or the floor of the room
and no instrument which might have
been used in the murder, was found in
the room. The body lay upon the bed
and was naked except for the night
gown, which was rolled up under the
arms. The police authorities were in
formed and after a careful investiga-
ton they came to the rather absurd
opinion that DR.. Knabe had committed
suicide.
The Indiana Council of Women, CON-
posed of some of the most prominent
women in Indiana, dissatisfied with
the conclusions which the police had
reached, decided to make more thor
ough investigation. They engaged H.
c. Webster, a. private detective, who
collected the discriminating testimony
which formed the basis for the indict-
ment by the grand jury of DR.. Craig
and Alonzo M. Ragsdale, an Indianap-
oils undertaken, who is charged with
having been an accessory after the
fact.
Webster, so it is stated, found that
DR.. Knabe, who was a lecturer on
pathology in the Indiana Veterinary
College, of which DR.. Craig has been
dean for number of years, had been
an intimate friend of DR.. Craig, who
is a widower, little more than forty
years of age. DR.. Knabe was a fire.

as Webster is said to have ascer-

wife of Craig. The latter, who has
several children from his first mar.

this plan and it is believed that DR..
Knabe visited the house of DR.. Craig
under some pretext on the evening
before the murder, to persuade DR.
Craig to marry her.

collected by Detective Webster has

Knabe Murder Trial
To Open Next Week

known physician and bacteriologist of
Indianapolis, who was murdered on
October 20, 1911. The case, which
was originally to be tried in Marion
county last month, was transferred to
Shelby county on change of venue
, at the request of DR.. Craig, and will be
, heard before Judge Blair of the Shell
by County Court. A. NJ. Ragsdale, in,
dicted jointly with DIR. Craig, did not
join in the plea for change of venue
and his case will probably be tried
in Indianapolis after the Craig trial is
disposed of. Owing to the prominence
of the victim and of the persons in
dicted for the murder and because OF
the mysterious circumstances of the
case the trial is attracting country
wide attention and promises to be
the most notable murder cases ever
tried in this county.
DR.. Helene Knabe, the victim of the
murder, was about So years old at the
time of her death. She was born in
Germany, the daughter of civil en-
gineer and had come to this country
as a young girl to obtain a scientific
education. She came to Indianapolis,
studied medicine and established her
self as a general practitioner. Having
specialized in bacteriology, she be-
came assistant in the meteorological
laboratory of the State Health De

She had her office and living apart

and lived quietly and unostentatiously
devoting nearly all her spare time te

How to Use peruna
for Coughs and Colds

If Peruna were used at the begin
ming of every cold, coughs would gen.
orally be prevented.
After the cough begins Peruna will
generally stop it just as quickly as 1t
ought to be stopped. To stop cough
before all Of the expectoration has
been removed is to do great injury.
After the expectoration has been
properly removed the cough will stop
itself. That is the only proper way
to stop a cough.
Occasionally a cough depends upon
an irritable condition of the 1arynx
or bronchial tubes, in which there is
little or no expectoration.
The problem of stopping such a
cough is a slightly different one.
Even in those cases Peruna ought to
be taken, but sometimes it is neces-
sary that local treatment be added.
Every one who has a troublesome
cough or lingering cold should write

Life" There is no free pamphlet dis
tributed to-day of more real value
to the sick and afflicted than the new
Ellis of Life" It is filled from cover
to cover with actual cases of cough,
colds and other climatic diseases in
all stages and complications. You
could scarcely fail to find your case
exactly described in this book.
To neglect to do everything possible
to get rid of a stubborn cold or
chronic cough is very unwise indeed.
Peruna has enjoyed a great reputa-
ton as remedy in such cases for
thirty or forty years. AS a rule. a
person who uses one bottle Of it Is

advocate of Peruna. Peruna itself is
a means of selling more Peruna than

who has lived in six, reigns. 1t is
seventy-two years since he commenced
his legislative career, and with the ex-
ception of about twelve months he has
been in either the commons or the
lords throughout the period. With
the exception of Melbourne he has ac-

accession.
