MAllNOWSk SAYS
 kRAkAs WAS 4 LIAR
h sigaed Stslsnelt, Interpreter Declares Hc lbldEcd cslfeSslan.

T don't like to malign a man after he is dead. but Peter Krakas was an eighteen karat liar. It was his na- ture. He would lie even when the truth would have assisted him more. He was the type of a man who would deny that he ever had a mother. did he not know it was natural" The foregoing statement was made by In terpreter M R. Malinowski today in reference to the confession made by krakas to him, which the condemned murdered later refuted. MT. Malin- owski laughs at the idea that the Wilmington police doubt the exist encc of a confession and he gave out the following signed statement con- corning it:
 Malinowskfs Signed Statement.
 Thursday afternoon, May Is, 1915, I spent three hours, from one to four. in the death cell with Peter Krakas in the workhouse at New Castle, Dela- ware. Talking to him among other things about the New Britain murder
 Part of the time, Rev. V. Bucho- wiecki, assistant pastor of St. Hed- wigs church at Wilmington, Delaware, .sAS '~PAAAeu0i duSiScT Sdt OulSlQe OI the cell and Deputy Warden wingate sat outside of the enclosure. Krakas and l talked in Lithuanian because Kra- kas would not talk English. I wrote down what he told me and after was through talking. read it all over to him and asked him if that was the truth and he said it was. Then I told him to sign the confession and he did. duplicating himself and Bernard Montvid with the murder of Rev. Jo- seph Zebris and Eva Gilmanaitis on the night of February 8, 1915, at New Britain, Conn.
 M. K. MALINOWSKI,"
 To a question. of whether or not he | thought Krakas crazy, MT. MalindNski | replied that he did not. The man was | simply dyed in the wool criminal. | 'Hod you known Krakas and aalked | to him as I did you would have no f doubt as to his sanity he replied. | That man would die six times over under the same conditions and not finch a bit. That was the kind of a man he was"
 Mir. Mahnowski thinks the reason Chief Black and the Wilmington po- lice officials doubt the existence of a confession is because they are piqued because he did not permit them to be present at the time When we visited the prisoner and did not invite Black his dignity was hurt. That's all there Is to that says the local interpreter.

ITO my daughter" he says the fatn- CT told him.
 T will not" was Sam's ultimatum, Whereupon Cianci told him that he would have to leave the house unless he would marry the girl. As he still maintained that wedding bells had no charms for him, Carpentere changed his boarding place.
 The first he knew of the shooting, Sam declared, was when the girls father rushed up to him near Cherry steet and shouted: My daughter shot herself. If she die you lose your life. too, and I fix you quick and will lose no time.''
 Proves Conclusive Alibi.
 Carpentere's alibi, that he was with two friends all Sunday morning, was further strengthened when Joseph Bosco. who occupies tine same bed with him at 126 High street, took the stand and said he did not leave the house until they started for Lilac street together to get Sans clothes and pay his bill. Mike Carmillo's s testimony was similar He said that er1route he stopped at his. uncle's store at 42 Lafayette street to get some paper with which to wrap up Sam's clothes. Mike said Cianci had ad- dressed Carpentere, saying: My daughter has shot herself and if she dies it will be up to you" It was on the advice of Mike and Joseph that Sam went back to High street. But when they heard the police wanted him they gave him the address and told their story, saying they had been with Sam all the morning.
 Prosecutor Klet made no request for the conviction of Carpentere, merely telling the court that the testimony was in. Neither did Lawyer McDon- ough make any plea. Judge Meskill remarked that it was through no fault of tlle state that the case had not been proved. but he did not think there was sufficient evidence to warrant binding the accused over to the high court. He said the testimony of all the witnesses for the defense rang true. He found lack of probable cause and discharged the accused.

No More BaCkaChe
No More Misery
New Remedy Dissoives impurities That
Clog Kidneys and Bladder. Great
Success.

IoU- kidneys WANT to do their work
properly. Ii is not their fault if they
don't An eminent authority has discov-
cred that backache, rheumatic pains and
other forms Of kidney trouble come from
the formation Of small acid crystals that
cling to the filtering membrane Of the
kidneys like harnacles on the bottom of
an old ship. You can't strain water
through q clogged up sieve The kidneys
cannot filter the impurities and waste
matter out Of the blood if the membranes
are ciogged with impure matter.
In cases of this kind new treatr- ent
that has already shown remarkable re-
suits III number Of cases is being widely
used. II is called Solvax. Solvax is a
powerful dissolving agent that goes
straight to the CAUSE Of the trouble 1t
works its way into every fold and crevice
of the fi1tering membranes and dissolves
the clogging matter, passing it out OF the
kidneys in the urine.
When Solvax starts work on the kidney
walls complete change is noticed almost
az once Backaches disappear. The slug
gish blood starts pumping vigorously
through the system and the whole teing
brightens up as if by magic. The kid
neys, freed OF all clogging impurities can
now go to work with a vim.
If you suffer from any form Of kidney
complaint, go at once to Bowditch-Web-
ster & Co. or any other reliable druggist
and get a new packet of Solvax and see
the difference. You are cheating YOUR
self out of a big slice of life if you don't
use Solyax at once.-Adv. dcc2-6-9

SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease OF the Kidneys.

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
Wen known nowadays. AS soon as
Kidneys are diseased, arserial tension is
increased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, ureInic poisoning
occurs and the person dies, and the
cause is often gwen as heart disease, or
disease OF brain or lungs.

are looking for work elsewhere. Two
reasons are assigned for this one the
lack Of business and the second the large
