Why Tolerate CatarThl

You have noticed, no doubt, that any
cold aggravates nasal catarrh, and the
flow Of mucous amazes you that such
Objectionable matter could find Iodg!
ment in your head. To ignore this
catarrh when the cold subsidies Is
wrong because il continues to slowly
injure the delicate Innings Of the nasal
passages and clog them up.
To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos:
trils frequently with a solution Of warm
water and salt, insert vaseline on re.
firing, and take spoonful Of Scots
Emulsion after meals for one month.
Scots acts through the blood to feed
the tissues, and contains soothing
glycerine to check the Inflammation
and heal the sensitive membranes.
Scott's is pleasant to take.

| ing the news of Feleh's death at O'Clock
on the morning of Easter Sunday. Ac.
companied by the town health officer OF
| Topsham, who met him by appointment
he went to the Felch homestead and
thence to the sugarhouse. He left his
team, he said, with the hired man, Viii
liams, the respondent. To the sugar
house the two men proceeded, as indicat-
ed in the physicians testimony. There
the witness viewed the body noted its
peculiar position, a position which he de-
scribed on the stand as peculiar for the
reason that the body was said by some
one, it was claimed, among those who
had visited the sugarhouse to be the
body of lnan who died from a self
inflicted wound. He noticed the gun and
that a blood stain on syrup or milk
can was on the side of the can away
from the body and that the side nearest
the body was devoid of stains. He no
tlced the juxtaposition of the body and
the gun. Shown the crevice in the side
of the sugarhouse, whence il was alleged
the death dealing bullet proceeded, he
imagined the course of the bullet in pass
ing through the lighted lantern and lodg-
ing in a beam. He discerned an old
straw hat, punctured by a bullet Then
he saw on the floor of the sugarhouse,
bloodstains three feet from the spot
where the body lay.
Later DIR. Rowland testified to finding
blood stained piece of clothing in
chiffonier at Williams house. He told
of delivering the clothing Deputy Sher-
iff Gale. In the drawer containing the
blood stained textile only mans cloth
ing was found, he said He also testified
that death must have ensued several
hours before he viewed the body, possibly
before ii o'clock the night previous
George Hight, the town health officer,
testified to accompanying DR.. Rowland to
the Felch premises and to the sugar
house. Several people we're there when |
he viewed the remains. He described the |
position in which the body lay, said he
noticed the lantern with the shattered |
globe and the crevice in the sugarhouse
wall. His testimony corroborated in de-
tail the observations of others who visit
I'd the sugarhouse that morning.

wife, would remedy the trouble. Will

to swear that the intimacy between him
and Mrs. Fetch had stood as he had de
scribed them, improper, for some time,
| Witness swore that Williams told him
| he was infatuated over Mrs. Felch, al
| though invariably she made the advances
following him oftentimes from place to
place.
"Why do you treat Joseph Felch that
| way?" is the question which the witness
said he asked Williams on the occasion
of the Oct. 10 conference. Witness said
that Williams gesture, in replying, in
dicated doubt and that he then admitted
that doe Felch was the "kindest, best
the conference that night, the witness
said, Williams again told him of having
improper relations with Mrs. Felch on
many occasions.
The date of the second talk with Will
liams was uncertain, but the witness
knew that it occurred at the forks. Will
liams, he continued, told him again of
having improper relations with Mrs.
Felch. Asked by counsel for the re-
spondent why he did not speak to Mr..
Felch about the Williams statement, DIR.
Rowland said that it was against his
idea of professional ethics, although Mr..
Felch was numbered among his close
friends. Asked concerning Williams
mental bearing at the time of the second
conference, Dr. Rowland testified, as
stated already, that he appeared to be
"more or less under the ordinary men.

On the cross examination DR.. Row
land admitted that he had conversed
with Mr.. Morgan, a detective, since the
tragedy and that he had related his con
versation with Williams to States At |
torney Frank S. Williams. Also, the |
said, he made statement at the |
preliminary proceedings in Bradford.
Cross examined, the witness said he |
knew Mrs. Felch as girl and had known
Of her since girlhood. At times he had |
been called to the Felch home on profes-
,ional missions. He had known the Will
iams boys, meaning the respondent,
Otis, and his brother, since their boy
hood. As to one of his reasons for not
,elling Mr.. Felch of the condition of af-
airs as revealed by statements by Will
Jams, he stated later in the cross ex-
animation that he was averse to break.

the advances and that both planned to
raise money in order to get away from
their own firesides; that Mrs. Felch was
to realize from the sale of personal eff
fects and that the prisoner, according to
his statement to the witness, was to dis
pose of his household goods and go to
New Hampshire, there to meet Mrs.
Felch as soon as she could arrange af-
fairs.
Il will be recalled that Mary Williams,
wife of the respondent, testified Wednes-
day that in November, 1915, Williams
sold his furniture and went to New
Hampshire while she went to live with
her sister. The conference referred to
in the doctors testimony in the forego-
ing took place in October, 1915, accord
ing to DR.. Rowland's statement on the
stand yesterday afternoon.
Always with deliberation before he
spoke, DR.. Rowland testified in cross ex-
animation of his conference with Will
liams at the prisoners house one dark
night in October and again at a piece of
highway in Topsham known as the forks
sometime subsequently. Much of the
testimony relating to Williams alleged

Mrs. Felch was brought out in the cross
examination and it was in the course of
the cross examination that counsel for
the defense propounded the question as
to Williams mental condition.
On the night of the first conference
testified to by the witness, Rowland, he
was called to the Williams home for |
professional reasons, the occasion being |
the birth of a child to the respondent |
and Mrs. Williams. Because the night |
was unusually dark, the doctor stayed
until daylight approached in order the
better to make his way home to East
Corinth. Williams, DR.. Rowland went
on to testify, told him of his close rela-
lions with Mrs. Felch, said he would dis
pose of his furniture and leave Topsham
as soon as his wife recovered. Moreover,
he planned to leave his wife and go to
Meredith, n. H., to get job. Anna
Felch was to follow him as soon as she
should realize enough money from her
own effects. Asked by the witness as to
how that would be treating Joseph Felch,
