DEAFNESS CANNOT Be CURED

by local application, as they can
not reach the diseased portion Of
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness and that is by O n
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused from the inflamed condition
of the mucous lining. of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is
in6amed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless inflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an
inflamed condition Of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred DOL
lars for any case of Deafness caus-
ed by catarrh that cannot be cured

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
CHICAGO, May 13.-William Keith,
dream slayer" who shot Walter Paul

The jury after an hours deliberation
last night, not only acquitted Keith
on the grounds that he was insane at
the time the murder was committed,

confessed relations with Paul and
others and that Thelma. his sixteen
year old daughter, was not safe from
Paul. Keith was shown to have
been victim Of somnambnlism since
boyhood The defense contended
that the trouble in his home caused
Keith to go into somnambuiistic
trance from which he awakened by
the crack Of the weapon that killed
Paul.
Mrs. James A. Patten, wife of the
wealthy grain operator, provided the
funds for the defense. She was in
terested in the case by letter to her
from Keith, asking aid.

BALD JACK ROSE TELLS
AGAIN Of MURDER PLOT

Whitman objected vigorously and
the question finally was allowed in an
other form.
II have been known as Jack Rose
for i've years." Rose answered calm
ly, when the legal sjuabble was over.
His voice fairly cracking with ag-
gressiveness, Manton then attacked
Roses record as denizen of the un-
der world, accusing him as pander-
er. white SLAYER, police stool
pigeon. ruiner Of young girls and a
fagin who taught boys to steal and
gamble.
To every question Rose replied in
a monotonous voice: Never did," re-
iterating the pharse with seemingly
tirless persistence and decision.
Leaning his head away over his left
shoulder, Rose craned forward when
asked if he was in Chicago in April
1912. He said he was.
Then why" thundered Manton,
did you tell this jury you were in
New York at this time?"
Rose lodged the implication Of in
accuracy by refusing to name the
month in question, saying loudly:
"If said was In New York at the
time Of the gambling raids, was in
New York"
Manton then changed his line of at
tack, baffled in his first attempt to
entangle the willy little man.
Becker's counsel then turned to
Roses acquaintance with the dead

tailed at great length the story OF
their first acquaintance. Becker, chin
in hand, leaned over on the counsel
table and showed keen interest. Man
ton tried to make Rose admit that
Rosenthal had forced his expulsion
from a gambling club known as the
Hesper, but this the witness fatty de-
MED. Manton then tried to "trip up
the witness on several statements on
printed articles purporting to be from
Roses pen relating to the underworld
Of New York. He got little satisfac-
ton Roses !deas OF fact and near
say were apparently elastic enough SO
that he evaded any attempt to pin
him down.
Further efforts to show that Levy
and Sam Paul, gamblers, gave Rose
$500 after the murder of Rosen.hal
and supposedly in payment therefor,
brought fiat denial. Manton's effort
to show the killing Of Rosenthal was
the result of gamblers war was
temporarily abandoned.
Manton read several excerpts Of
testimony given by Rose a. Becker's
first trial and also at yesterdays
hearing, relative to financial demands
between Becker and Rosenthal in a
gambling house in which all three
were interested.
"You didn't say word about this

would sneer, and always Rose would
