onlookers, including many friends and
The courtroom was crowded with
relatives of the murdered woman
whom the jury signified Its desire to
return a verdict. Walker was brought
from the county jail to the courtroom
where a heavy guard or deputy sher-
ifs and bailiffs had been summoned
in thelevent of any possible disturb
ance. y
When Deputy Clerk Gully Of the
district court read the verdict there
was no commotion. Walker remained
as he had during the greater part Of
the trial, looking. in dazed manner
at the floor at his feet.
Murder Charge stands.
Judge Meyer Immediately sentenced

dered woman were disappointed at
the verdict. They had hoped fervently
that Walker would be found sane by
the jury and would be placed on trial
on the murder charge.

Residents Of Ankeny Immediately
sought the county attorney after the
verdict was returned and demanded
that an indictment charging Walker
with rape in connection with the as
sault upon Joline Sohn, II years old,
to which he confessed, be obtained
from the grand jury as soon as pos
sible. Those interested in the prosecu-
ton said they intended to obtain as
many charges as possible against the
defendant to be hanging over him in
the event he should ever be RELEASED
from the penitentiary.
First Ballot 7 to 5. p
The jury, 1t was learned after the
verdict was returned, stood seven to
five for the verdict Of insanity when
the first ballot was taken. Only after
much argument were the five men
who first desired to bring in verdict
of sane. prevailed upon to change
their votes.
County Attorney Rippey made out
the commitment papers for Walker
Immediately after the trial and they
were signed by Judge Meyer. Walk
err was taken to Anamosa on the first
train.
A group Of relatives and friends Of
the Coppock family assembled in the
hallway outside the courtroom after
the return Of the verdict and discussed
the case in agltated tones. However,
no untoward action was taken.

GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She mixed Sulphur with it to Re-
store Color, Gloss, Youth
fulness.

Common garden sage brewed into
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a revela-
ton If your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition Of other IT,
gradients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it so
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant.-Adv.

IN THEIR LAST LONG SLEEP
Beautiful Spot in Which Have Been
Laid American Soldiers Who
Died in Liberty's Cause.

On the wooded slope of steep hill
the River Seine lies a little plot of
earth that is as much America as is
the national cemetery at Arlington or
the hallowed ground of Gettysburg. 1t
is quiet and peaceful spot, for al
though Paris is near-the slender pin
nacle of the Eiffel tower is in plain
view over the trees-the city is Sepa-
rated from the American cemetery at
Surnesnes by the green expanse Of
the Bots de Boulogne. The heart of
the city that is the heart of the world
is not five miles away; you would
think 1t at least fifty. 1t is spot far
removed from war, and yet there are
enough of the accoutrements of war
about it to remind the visitor that the
700 graves here are the graves of sol
diers-moStly of soldiers who died of
their wounds on the journey in from
the front or at one of the hospitals In
or near the capital. Further up the
slope frown the ramparts of the fort
of Mount Valerien, one in the chain
of defenses that surround Paris. Dur
ing hostilities planes few from field to
field, the drone of their motors never
so clear as in this quiet countryside.
And more warlike still. an occasional

thirsty you become? And don't you

Horses work for them, won't they in
