THAW ACQUITTED, BUT HELD.
FACING ALMOST ENDLESS LITT-
CATION, WHITES SLAYER
SEEMS HAPPY.
Motion to RecOmmit Prisoner to Mat
tcawan to be Argued Monday-NO
Let up by Prosecution.

New York, March 13.-Harry X.
Thaw, acquitted today of conspiracy
in escaping from Matteawan, faced to-
night a renewal of the determined ef-
forts Of New York State to send him
ba ack to the asylum. In his cell in the
Tombs he was enthusiastic. His
keepers said he was whistling like a
boy and seemed to be the happiest
man in the city.
Almost endless litigation seemed to
be in sight as the result Of the ver-
dict. The words of acquittal had
scarcely died on Foreman Baileys
lips when Deputy Attorney General
Cook was on his feet with a motion
10 have Thaw recommitted to Mat
teawan. This was opposed by John
b. Stanchfleld, chief OF Thaw's coun-
sci, on the ground that the court al
ready had under advisement a motion
to return Thaw to New Hampshire,
whence he came to answer the con-
spiracy charge. The motion was re-
newed and Supreme Court Justice
Page set Monday at 2 p NJ. for argu-
ment thereon.
In the meantime Thaw occupies his
old cell in Tombs prison, the cell in
which he was locked during the
months from the night he shot and
killed Stanford White, nearly nine
years ago, to his removal to Mattea-
wan.
Thaw's four aides in his whirlwind
automobile flight through four States
from Matteawan to Canada were &C
quilted by the same verdict which
acquitted Thaw and were discharged.
Deputy Attorney General Kennedy,
while satisfied with the verdict in so
far as it related to Thaw, said that
he had expected conviction of
Thaw's accomplices.
An appeal from Justice Pages de-
cision in the motion to return Thaw
to Matteagan was regarded almost as
a certainty, regardless Of What tie de-
cision might be. The case, therefore
seemed likely to remain in the courts
for months before final decision.

minor German gains in Poland have

Glad to Recommend

Mrs. Nororth Says She Suffered
With Gladstone for Several
Years Without Relief.

In letter to Pinus laboratories,
Mrs. Rosa Norforth, Monticello, ILL.,,
says: 81 cannot praise Fruitola and
Traxo too highly a. I consider It
saved my life. I suffered with gall
stones for several years and could
not get any relief until your prep
aration was recommended to me. It
has been six months since took the
last bottle. and I feel that I am en-
tirely well. Have anyone doubling
the merit Of your preparation write
me as will be only too glad to rec
ommend Fruitola and Traxo to
anyone suffering from gall-stones."
Fruitola and Traxo are the names
used to identify two preparations
that are taken in combination. Fruit
ola acts on the intestinal organs az
a powerful lubricant, softening con-
;; gested masses and disintegrating
the hardened particles that cause 80
much suffering, and expelling the &C.
emulation with almost instant re-
lief. Traxo is a splendid tonic, act
ing on the liver and stomach with
most beneficial results and is rec
commended in connection with Fruit
ola to build up and restore the sys-
