Marshalrs statement and allegations
Of subornation were denied absolutely
in the District Attorneys Office yes
terday afternoon. and il was stated
that intimation Of such action by Mar
shall had been received two days ago.
District Attorney Perkins admitted that
the negro had been obtained through
detective work and brought 10 this city
from Philadelphia on the promise OF
getting Job here.
Marshall was first brought into this
Office on the morning of April H.,
1914" Mr. Perkins said. "He made a
purely voluntary statement as TO his
knowledge Of the case, which took him
about ten minutes. Mr.. Groehl made
no attempt TO coach him. of course.
He had never realized that the chance
meeting Of q negro vaudeville actor
and Becker could have any Importance
in the trial of the police lieutenant for
his life.
After making his statement Mar
shall was taken back 10 Philadelphia
the same afternoon with detective.
and this Office has kept in touch with
him ever since"
Mr.. Groehl received letter from
on August 10 Of last year, in
which he told of efforts which had

time he was at the Maryland Hotel, in
New York. Marshall stated that he re-
ceived from the District Attorneys
Office the three checks. Life was very
pleasant for me there. II was nothing
but theatres and automobile rides
through the park all day long. went
TO the theatre almost every afternoon,
and never got home before II o'clock
in the morning.
Concerning his acquaintance with
Jack Rose, Marshall's signed statement
says:
81 never knew Jack Rose, and l did
not know it was he who is said to
have met Becker on the street that
night. My only knowledge of Rose
came from what Mr.. Groehl said and
what l read in the newspapers"
Mr.. Johnston then said, as Marshall
was debating his statement: "Then
you could not go on the stand and
swear that the man you saw with
Becker was Rose, could you-you had
never seen Rose before?" Marshall
answered "No! | had never seen him
before"
Marshall explained that ne had been
up all night and had been drinking,
and this, in connection with legal
troubles with his wife, had consider
ably shaken his nerves, but when MIR.
Long assured him that it was not his
intention or that of anybody else TO
involve in any further complications
concerning the Becker trial, and that
he (Marshall) would not be subject to
prosecution if he told all the truth in
the matter, the youth agreed to answer
all questions willingly and truthfully.
Mr.. Raleigh at this point began the
questioning with a query as to whether
the story as printed in an early edl-
ton Of "The Evening Ledger" and sew
eral of the New York afternoon papers
was correct.
III it Is not correct" added Mr..
Raleigh, 81 want to know IL right

Marshall visited the District Attor-

Marshall, whose story had much to do
with Beckers conviction, had repudiat-

TO be reasonable grounds for granting

Mrs. Becker had been on the way
from Ossining when the news from
Philadelphia reached this city, and had
not the slightest intimation OF what
had occurred until she reached her
home in The Bronx. Her caller had
been waiting for some time when she
arrived.

BE PARTICULAR TO
PACK BEST APPLES
Sort According to Size and Color
BE Careful Of Dampness
in Storage Place.

If you have apples to sell and they
have not been properly sorted and
packed, now is good time to do this
work. Sort according to size and
color, and pack in small boxes with
paper between the layers, particular
ly if you have private customers, as
most people like them better that
way, than when packed loosely in bar
rels.
Be particular to select good apples
of the same size for the top layer, but
be just as particular to see that those
in the middle and the bottom of the
box are equally good.
Second quality apples should be
packed in the same way, in boxes by
themselves and the culls can either
be made into cider or worked up for
family use, or sold in the market for
just what they are. If the second
grade apples and the culls are packed
in along with the best, you will get
nothing more than the price for culls,
as buyers always base their offering
on the poorest quality of fruit.
If the fruit is stored in the cellar,
it must be we'll ventilated and per-
fectly dry, although we have found
that apples stored on a cement floor
become too dry and are apt to shrivel.
There is nothing better than an earth
en- floor for storing apples, or fruits
of all kinds, provided the drainage is
perfect.
If the cellar becomes damp at sud
den thaws, the fruit should be looked
over carefully and all imperfect speci-
mems sorted out, and the sound fruit
elevated two or three feet above the
floor.

A n u RIG!
The Newest Discovery in Chemistry

This is a recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids 8
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at DR.. Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric
acid that can be compared to it. For
those easily recognized symptoms of
inflammation-as backache, scalding
urine and frequent urination, as well
as sediment in the urine, or if uric
acid in the blood has caused rheuma-
tism, it is simply wonderful how sure
ly "Anuric" acts. The best of results are
always obtained in cases of acute
rheumatism in the joints, IN gravel
and gout, and invariably tho pains and
stiffness which so frequen ~ and per-
sistently accompany the disease rap
idly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for q 50cent package Of

"Anuric" manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or even write DR.. Pierce for large
trial package (10c). If you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble, send him q
sample of your water and describe
symptoms. DR.. Pierce's chemist will
examine it, then DIR. Pierce will report
to you without fee or. charge.
NOTE. = "Anuric" is thirty-seven
times more active than lithia in elimi-
mating uric acid, and is harmless but
reliable chemical compound, that may
be safely given to children, but should
be used only by grown-ups who actu-
ally wish to restore their kidneys to
perfect health, by conscientiously
using one box-or more in extreme
cases-as "Anuric" (thanks to Doctor
Pierce's achievement) is by far the
most perfect kidney and bladder cor
rector obtainable.
