Once he knocked his own attorney
down in open court and his incessant
cry during the trial was Let's cut

I'm willing to be hanged
Against Spencer's own confession

defense could offer only plea Of in

Of a police "frame-up" and was being
railroaded to the gallows The jury
gave this little consideration and on
November IA, Spencer was found
guilty and sentenced to be hanged
early in December. His attorneys Sc
cured stay Of execution and took an
appeal to the Illinois supreme court.
On June Is, 1914, the supreme court
affirmed the lower courts verdict rul-
ing that evidence of Spencer's deprav-
ity was not sufficient to justify the
opinion that he was insane. The SUI
preme court fixed the execution for
today between the hours of a. m.

Co,7,bing Won t Rid

The Easiest and Best Way Is to
Dissolve II.

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you
destroy it entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retir.
ing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger
tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning
most if not all of your dandruff Will
be gone, and three or four more ap.
plications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy, every single
sign and trace of il, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous. glossy, silky and soft. and
look and feel a hundred times better
If you want to preserve your hair,
do by all means get rid of dandruff.
for nothing destroys the hair more
quickly. 1t not only starves the hair
and makes it fall out, but It makes it

lifeless. ant, everyone notices it. You
can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. 1t is inexpensive and never
fails to do the work.

EnqInemen's Testimony Bears Out
What Should Have Been obvi-
Que Fact About PoIack's
Death Monday.
VERDICT ON SATURDAY
Expect TO Hear From Chicago To-
morrow and to Finish In
QUESTION at That
Time.

That Legian, the Polack who was
killed on the Santa Fe Monday after.
noon met his death as was stated ex.
clusively in The Gate City Tuesday
by being struck by train No. 8, and
that he did not fall off the train or
was pushed off as seemed to be the
opinion Of the coroner, was brought
out at the first session Of the inquest
held last night at Fort Madison.
Coroner Korschgan said this morn
ing that the evidence showed at the
inquest that there was no foul play,
and that the fact that blood and bits
of flesh were found on the pilot of No.
SIS engine, together with the position
OF the body when picked up, and the
blood along the track, makes It GER
tain that the man. was walking along
the track when struck by the engine
The engine crews of the trains were
examined last night. The reason that
the accident was not seen by the
crew of No. was that it occurred
on the fireman's side Of the track and
at the time he was shoveling coal.
The enginemen on the train which
follows No. and which picked up the
dead man, saw him when some dis
lance away and stopped for the body.
The train which struck the Polack
was going east. The Polack's body
was found about forty feet east from
the first blood splotch On the rails
This in itself is practically conclusive
evidence that the man was struck by
an east bound train. The finding of
blood On the pilot OF the engine is
conclusive evidence that he could not
have been cumming his way, and
hive fallen off the train or been push. |
ed off
Little additional information was
brought out at the inquest last night. |
The coroner expects to finish the in
quest tomorrow morning, hoping to
hear from Chicago relatives OF the
man by then.
Coroner Korschgan is emphatically
denying story in circulation today
that the sGalesburg officers who came
over here to identify the body yester-
day came at the expense, OF Leo
