death.
Motives aplenty which might have
actuated the respondent have been
stamped upon the minds of the jurors.
Small has been shown to have threat
ened the life Of his wife more than
once; II is known his thoughts had
turned back to the second Mrs. Small,
whom he divorced eight years ago; be-
yond. there was $4,000 to be collected
on the join insurance policy taken out
at his urging.
But for all that the State relies
most strongly in its hope of convic-
ton on the remarkable and elaborate
scheme to which the murderer resort
ed to conceal his crime. Combined
as they were in this scheme, science
and craft all but obliterated corpus
deficit and clews alike.
! Telephoned From Hotel
No casual cutthroat invading the
lonely camp to plumber and, II need
be, kill would have had reason to go
to such lengths in the hope Of con-
cealment, It Is argued. Nor could
such q one be expected to have at
hand the rare chemical compound
wit (which the bungalow fire was
kindled.
Seldom, IL ever, has an accused
slayer been so entangled in the net of
circumstance as Is Small, yet for all
that the case Is purely circumstantial.
That he was more than a hundred
miles away when the bungalow
burned he did pot even have to prove,
for 1t was in Young's Hotel, in Bos-
ton, that the long distance telephone
found him a few minutes after neigh
bors reached the black hole over
which the bungalow had stood.

oSSIPEE, NH, Jan. S.-The twelve
most thoroughly puzzled men In the
United States today, beyond doubt,
are those who listened to the final
testimony In the trial of Frederick L.
Small, former broker, charged with
the murder of his wife, out of the
sum OF which they must decide wheth-
er the crippled camper of Mountain
View shall be written into criminal
history as a murderer of unsurpassed
ingenuity or as an equally unique
catspaw of circumstance.
With the evidence all in, Small, at
the end, presents the ASPECT of q hui

the background constructed by the
State and innocently white in the re-

NAvY'S BIG BOSS

The big boss of the navy is Ad- miral William S. Benson, chief of operations, the real head of the navy, saving always the presence of Jo- sephus Daniels.
 But Admiral Benson is something of a mythical character, hidden away in the great building at Washington, discussing, planning, theorizing, prob ably anxious to get into action but unable to do so. The trust of people along the Atlantic seaboard must be placed in Henry T. Mayo, commander of the Atlantic fleet, upon whom falls the burden of maintaining an efficient patrol from Maine to Florida. All the officially designated areas of danger must be carefully looked after by the vessels under command of Admiral Mayo and unguarded points along the coast where an enemy force might land and wreak some of their useless spite must be protected as well.

WAS TWICE EXAMINED AND TOLD OPERATION WOULD
 BE HER ONLY HOPE.

ssI HAVE just finished my third bot
 l tie of Tanlac and have gained twenty-seven pounds" was the truly remarkable statement made by Mrs. Charles Peden, residing at 55 NH street, Huntsville, Ala.
 "When I commenced taking the medicine" she continued, q only weighed ninety-eight (9s) pounds; now I weigh 125 pounds, and never felt better in my life. For years I have suffered with bad form of stomach trouble, constipation and pains in my side and back. At times the pains took the form of torture, and I was twice examined and each time I was told that I had appendicitis and that an operation would be my only hope.
 q had made all preparations for the operation and called in my sister to tell her good-by, as did not know whether would live to see her again or not. My sister begged and pleaded with me not to allow them to cut on me and told me to wait and try good tonic for awhile. The next day, as I returned from the consultation room, I thought of what she said, and as I had heard so much about Tanlac, I decided to try 1t and got bottle."
 q never returned for the operation, but just kept taking the Tanlac. Right from the start I began to feel better. The medicine seemed to take hold right at once.
 'T was so happy over the wonder full improvement in my condition that I sent for my neighbors to tell them how much better felt. I sent and got another bottle of Tanlac, and have just finished taking my third bottle and feel as if have been made all over again into a new woman.

THOUSANDS OF THIN. TRAIL PEOPLE ARE RESTORED TO HEALTH BY TAKING
 TANLAC.
FIGURES ARE ASTONISHING
People of Prominence and Unques- tiened Integrity Tell What Cele- brated Medicine Has Done
 for Them.

NNH of the most noteworthy fea- O lures in connection with Tanlac and the one that stands out more prom inently than any other, perhaps, is the very large number of well-known men and women from all parts of the South who have recently reported astonishing and rapid increases in weight as a re- suit of its use.
 When SO many well-known people of unquestioned integrity make state ment after statement, each corroborat- ing the other, the truth of such state ments can no longer be doubted.
 Thousands have testified that this famous medicine has completely re- stored them to health and strength, after every other medicine and the most skilled medical treatment have failed. e
 One of the most remarkable cases on record is that ef Mrs. Viola Ives, of 815 Gross street, Little Rock, Ark, whose statement appears below.
 ~In May of 1913," said Mrs. Ives, "I suffered c complete breakdown of my nerves and my entire system gave way. About six weeks afterwards l was carried to the hospital. I became perfectly helpless-couldn't move any rart of my body and just lay there in bed for i've months, not knowing any thing or anybody, was brought home in October, 1913, and tried all kinds of medicine and everything I was told about.
 q read about so many people get ting relief by taking Tanlac and my husband got me bottle. After talk ing three bottles began to feel bet ter. I have taken several bottles of Tanlac now and can walk anywhere and sleep like a child. When took my first dose of Tanlac weighed only one hundred and twenty-two pounds. now weigh one hundred and sixty two-an actual gain of forty pounds since started on Tanlac."
 Texas Man Testifies.
 Another remarkable case was that of John M. Crabtree, a general mer- chant at Five Mile Station A, Dallas, Tex.
 q have actually gained thirty-four pounds on three bottles of Tanlac and now know what it is to enjoy good health after suffering for twenty years," said MT. Crabtree.
 T suffered with catarrh of the stom- ach and indigestion for twenty years and for eighteen months, before I start ed taking Tanlac, I had to live almost entirely on cereals. spent nearly all of one whole year in bed and was un- able to do anything at all and I fell off in weight to 118 pounds.
 "After using my third bottle of Tan lac found had increased in weight from 118 pounds to 152 pounds, mak- ing an actual gain of thirty-four pounds-all my troubles were gone, and I was feeling like another man."
