.GREWSOME EVIDENCE
IN TRIAL FOR MURDER
Head Of Woman Is Brought
Into Court Room to
Show Jury

Ossipee, N. H., Jan. 4.-The head of
Mrs. Florence Arlene Small, murdered
wife of Frederick B. Small, ON trial
here charged with the crime, was shown
to the jury today by DR.. George B. Ma
rrath, Boston medical examiner. A shud-
der ran through the court room.
DR.. Magrath lifted the head from a
white cloth in his bag, During all the
time that he freely handled it, deserib-
ing various wounds to the jury, Small
kept his face buried in his hands.
Before the head was brought into
court Judge Kixel said:
fI will say now / think it wise for
the ladies to step out of the court room,
especially the married ladies. / warn
you now, you can stay in or go out, but
you will be responsible for any physical
injury that may come later"
About 30 women filed out of the court
room. Several women remained, in adj
dition to the stengrapher and one re-
porter.
DR.. Magrath then lifted a white cloth
from his bag and unfolded it, placed the
head in standing position on the shelf
of the witness stand, with the face turn
ed toward the jury box
He described in detail the condition
of the body. The Jurors gave close at
tention.
There was no evidence of criminal
assault according to the witness.
The head was displayed for Is min
utes, after which it was put back in
Magrath IS handbag.

ALKALI IN SOAP
BAD FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very carefully,
If you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly, Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months.

HOSPITAL BUILDING
NOT YET VACATED
Beard of Control Takes Up
Matter May Make States
"Juice"

Matters of general interest came be-
fore the board of control yesterday
afternoon at its regular monthly meet
ing. 1t was brought to the attention
of the board that the Salem Hospital,
which was to have vacated the present
site on December ], 1916, was still do
ing business at the old stand. On that
date the state had expected to occupy
the site and the building.
Representatives of the hospital
board were present and stated they be-
lieved they would be able to raise
money soon for a new building. It
was the opinion of Secretary of State
Olcott that one of three things might
be done-the matter might be let go
for some time as it is, or the state
might evict the hospital and take pos
session, or else the whole affair might
be cancelled and the money paid re-
funded. The hospital representatives
assured the board they expected an
early solution to the problem, and the
board allowed the matter to remain
undecided for some time.
On account of threatened nervous
breakdown Oh the part of Mrs. Esther
Hopkins, matron of the Girls Indus
trial school, she asked the board yes
terday for three months leave of alb
sence. Pending the report of the adj
visory committee which was investi-
eating the availability of suitable
substitute, the matter was not acted
upon.
On account of the announcement
that the contracts for supplying elec-
tricity to the state institutions here
will expire July l, 1918, the PROPOSE
ton of the state manufacturing its
own electricity came up before the
board of control yesterday. 1t was
shown that it costs the state from fif-
teen to eighteen hundred dollars a
month for light and power. 1t is the
belief of the board that the state
could install plant ON North Mill
Creek and make it Juice" at very
little expense.

are emphatic in their belief that he is
the victim of a mistake and his own
conscience.
Miss Mabel Kyle, one of the women
who aided the police in identifying the
man in the taxi, said:
Z believe Mr.. Lewis is the victim
of a CHASTITY blundcr. He was an
honorable man and [ still believe him
innocent. He read that he had been
drawn in the mystery and had no hope
of extricating himself"
Think He Is Innocent.
Lewis called Miss May Kyle, an
other sister, on the telephone just be-
fore he left for Atlantic City yester-
day.
ttWhat shall l do?" he asked after
explaining he had been implicated.
Miss Kyle told him to give himself
up, which she declared he promised to
do Immediately. Two detectives were
on the wire the entire time Lewis was
talking. For several days the tele-
phone to the Kyle home had been
Trapped" 1t is understood that

as early as o'clock Friday. Miss
Colbert was still alive and talking to
Police Magistrate Imber on the tele-
phone at IL O'Clock that morning.
Sunday, according to Miss May Kyle,
Lewis spent at their home in German
town and went to church.
stHe acted the same as usual, the
girl said, referring to Sunday.
Thursday night, she said-the night
before the murder-her two sisters,
Mabel and Ethel, went to theatre
with Lewis. They had supper at a
hotel and took taxi home because it
was late.
Worries had piled up on Lewis one
after another in the past year. Busi-
ness ventures had proved failures; he
was reported to have been implicated
in a court case in New York. That,
broken in spirit, Lewis could not stand
the additional weight of being suspect
ed of murder, is the theory of friends
today.
Hair May Decide It.
The few strands of black hair,
cIutched in Maize Colbert's hands
when the police found her body, lying
in bed last Saturday night, may prove
one of the most significant factors in
the the chain of eireumstantial ev1-
dence being woven by the police. Po-
lice declare these hairs, probably rip
ped from the murderer's head in the
girls terrible strubble for life, seem
identical with Lewis black hair.
Captain of Detectives Tate advanced
as motive for the murder an argu-
ment over money with which to pay
the taxi bill Lewis owed for the trip
to Germantown.
lewis needed money" he said,
ssthe theory is that he entered Miss
Colbert's apartment and asked for
assistance. Then he demanded 800
diamond ring he had given the girl.
When she refused a struggle ensued
and he killed her,
Detectives are now working to trace
every movement made by Lewis after
he left Powell at the curb waiting for
his money.

Cincinnati Authority Tells
How to Dry Up a Corn So
II Lifts Out

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn stops soreness az
once and soon the corn loosens so it
can be lifted out, root and all, without
pain.
1 A quarter of an ounce of freezone
costs very little at any drug store, but
is sufficient to take off every hard or
soft corn or callus. This should be
tried, as it is inexpensive and is said
not to inflame or even irritate the sur
rounding tissue or skin.

BERNARD LEWIS KILLS

Continued from page one.)
small cahbre rifle with which he later
sought death was newly purchased.
Newspapers shrieking the CHASTITY de-
tails Of the beautiful models murder
and the relentless police pursuit of the
then unknown murderer, Uttered the
floor. But Lewis did not add the final
touch to the tragedy of the Primrose
path until he heard the long feared
knock of detectives at his door. Then
he put the muzzle of the rifle to his
forehead and fired.
Detectives who burst the door open
found his limp body in the bath tub,
found suspicious scratches on his fing-
ers, as if they had been the ones which
in fury beat and tore the beautiful
flesh of Maize Colbert, found hand
kerchief stained with what looked like
blood in his bureau drawer.
Wore Woman's Undershirt
Search Of Lewis effects today dis
closed two important items-first, that
Lewis wore woman's pink silk un-
dershirt; second, that the bloody shirt
and collar found in Miss Colbert :
rooms after the murder are of the
same sire as that worn by Lewis and
are Of the same make. Efforts win be
made to identify the pink silk under
shirt as one belonging to the dead
girl.
Practically without money and driv-
en- TO frenzy by the suspicion cen
tered on him, Lewis apparently was in
O hopeless condition. His clothes were
unkept and he wore q shirt of cheap
material-a direct contrast to the neat
society man Of several years ago.
While detectives say they believe
Lewis killed the cafe butterfly, friends

Originating at Richville, the storm
gained momentum as it swung up the

to tear that frail building from its
