titled to Recover From Helen M.
Pillans on Assault Charge.

The District Court of Appeals to-
day affirmed the decision of the lower
court that Ella c. Patterson. a travel
ing companion. is not entitled to re-
cover damage from Helen NJ. Pillans,
on 4 charge of assault because her
employer locked her In the apartment.
Through Justice Van Orsdel, the ap-
pellant tribunal held that no assault
was committed because there was no
threatened violence coupled with an
intent and at least apparent means of
carrying the threat into execution.
The plaintiff claimed that she was
employed as companion to the defend
ant, and while stopping in an apart
ment in this city in May, 1914. she re-
turned from church to find the apart
ment locked.
After ringing the bell and rapping on
the door for thirty minutes. she ap-
pealed TO the clerk. who telephoned 10

cured permission for her to enter Tor

DIETING TO KEEP WELL

Some people are born with a tendency
20 certain diseases. What they eat either
aggravates this condition or tends to cor
rect it.
Anybody can see the Importance of a
proper diet but human beings, unlike the
lower animals, lack the instinct that tells
them what to eat and what to avoid.
1t is fact that proper diet and a good
tonic will keep people well under most
conditions and restore them to health
except in acute diseases where the need
of physician is imperative.
Start today by writing to the DR.. VIII
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y,
for q copy of the diet book, "Whatto Eat
and How to Eat" tits full OF useful infor-
nation and describes the tonic treatment
with DR.. Williams Pink Pills for indiges-
ton, nervous dyspepsia, for those condi-
tons of flatulency or gas on the stomach,
discomfort after eating, caused by lack OF
tone in the digestive organs. DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills supply the stomach with
well-oxygenated blood without which
good digestion is impossible. DR.. Will
liams Pink Pills are a non-alcoholic
tonic and are free from poisons.
A short course OF treatment with these
pills will show in an improved appetite,
better digestion, refreshing sleep and
quiet nerves. Your own druggist sells

clan, died as the result of fall follow
ing an apoplcctic stroke will be the &C.
Tense Of Mrs. Helen NJ Angle, on trial
here for causing his death. This was
plainly indicated by the questions put to
the states witnesses by her counsel on
the second day of her trial Ii was
especially noticeable in the cross-exam-
ination of the physicians who performed
the autopsy on Ballou's body after he
had been found dead outside Mrs, An
giles apartment on june "a, 1914.
DIR. Charles III, b. Mead of Stamford,
one of the physicians who assisted Dir.
Otto Fl. Selmltze of New York City in
making the second autopsy on the body
of BaIlou at the cemetery in Winehel-
don, Mass when the body was exhumed,
was the first witness yesterday.
DR.. Mead corroborated DIR. Schultae
in describing the terrible fracture of the
victims skull which, according to the
physicians, was caused by blow FROM
heavy, blunt instrument or by yio-
lent fan on a hard surface.
For the first time, Mrs. Angle lost her
composnre yesterday She shuddered no
ticeably and gripped at the arms OF her
chair while DR.. Mead described the con-
dition of Ballous body when he per-
formed the autopsy.
Jacob Klein, associate counsel with ex-
Judge n. c. Downs for the defense, dwelt
upon the fact that at the second autop
sy the brain and heart were missing
from Ballou's body. Mr. Klein forced
the witness to admit that because these
vital organs could not be examined there
was no way to tell whether or not Bal
lou might have fallen and been killed
after an apoplectic stroke or neart fail
ure.
Judge Downs took turn at interro-
eating Dr. Mead. He sought TO adducc
that blow from the open hand would
not cause the bruises found on the fore
head of Ballou, but DR.. Mead said he
had no means of determining that.

Dr. SehuItze was recalled to the stand
for cross examination yesterday after.

"Could apoplexy have caused Mr.. Bal
lou to fall?" asked J. B. Klein, attorney
for Mrs Angle.
