MANY DOCTORS FEAR
ANOTHER FLU" EPIDEMIC

No cure has been discovered for
the dreaded, insidious Spanish in
f1uenza, and many of the most
prominent doctors fear an cpl
denlic Ct the Flu" during the COM
ing fall and winter months, as bad,
if not worse, than the one last win
ter
The high percentage Of deaths
during the recent Flu" epidemic
alarmed the doctors, and medical
science has tried increasingly to
discover the cause of Flu" but
without avail. Psychologists,
chemists and laboratory experts
all over the world are anxiously
trying to search out the cause and
find a serum that will prevent con-
tagion
The great death toll that result
ed from the Flu" was greater than
the losses of the American army
during the World War. 1t carried
away the young and old, the weak
and strong, yet vas most danger
Gus to those who seemed to be in
vigorous health, young men and
women who looked strong and
we'll enough to resist any disease.
That Flu" is very contagious
has been proved conclusively. The
Kansas State Board of Health has
decided to isolate all Flu" sus-
poets if an epidemic occurs this
fall and winter. Many other states
are getting ready to fight the Flu"
should it break out again. Doctors
generally believe that il is caused
by germs that are carried by the
breath into the nose and throat,
and then get into the blood through
the tonsils. stomach and intes-
tines.
But even the doctors frankly ad-
rlit that they do not know what
causes the Flu" and that it is one
of the most treacherous and dead
ly diseases with which they have
to contend.
The Flu" is not only dangerous
to life during the illness period,
but it seems to leave the entire
body weak and enervated; the
head swims, the nervous system is
affected and frequently it affects
the heart, kidneys and other or
gans of the body. The latter eff
fects" are often worse than the
disease itself, and hundreds of
thousands Of people are still feel
ing the weakening, enervating eff
fects many months after they have
had the Flu"
There is only one way of safe
guarding yourself against the dan
ger Of the 'flu" contagion and to
overcome the after effects"
The Flu" is germ disease that
affects the blood and poisons it,
affecting every part of the body.

O'RILEY TAKES
BLAME TO HELP
TOMMY WALSH
Man Accused of Murder of Sheriff
Claims He Was In Bed Sick
Night of the Crime.

In his own defense, Hale O'Riley
declared on the witness stand this
morning that he shouldered the
blame for the murder of Sheriff
Jake Wigers to shield his room
mate and close pal, Tommy Walsh.
1t was not because he suspected
Walsh as a member of the bandit
gang, but as he stated it, Il took
it on my shoulders to protect him
and give him a chance to get things
Strengthened out"
O'Riley proved himself a good
witness. Calm, thoroughly col
lected in his statements, he could
not be tripped up on cross exam
ination. He has the polished man
ners and speech Of a college-bred
man. At no time during the ques-
tioning did he falter for lack of
suitable words of expression.
You would even be willing to
de to shield Tommy Walsh" he
was asked by the state.
Yes, l would" The answer was
delivered in no uncertain tones,
"Why?'
MY reasons are purely personal
and I would rather not expose
them"
O'Riley stated ne was in his room
the night the crime was committed
and Tommy Walsh was not. He
did not hear his roommate come in
that night, he said. Did not see
him until he awoke the next morn
ing.
O'RiIey was arrested on the
morning of Jan. while at his work
at Rock Island arsenal. He could
not remember the date but said
Captain T. B. ClaTkson, parole Off
Ger. approached him about 10
O'Clock that morning and told him
20 come along.
81 was not told what the arrest
was for" he said. 81 was taken TO
the Rock Island police station. l
did not have any talk with Mr.. Cox
until about 8 o'clock that night"
Direct Examination
Where did you have the talk
with Mr.. Cox?"
1T took place in his Office at the
police station"
When were you first told what
you had been arrested for?'
-Mr. Cox said, Well, Hale, we've
got you. Know what for% l said
I did not. Well, you are arrested
for the killing of the sheriff
81 told him l didn't know thing
about it. He pulled out a card and
showed me the names of Howard
O'Hara, Jim Giblin and Tommy
Walsh. He asked me If I knew
them. I said yes.
Then he related the circum-
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-10-29

that about $3.50 the afternoon OF
Dec. 80. he fell of scaffold for a
distance of about II feet and that
the foreman had allowed him to
come home about AIS or 4:30
O'Clock.
my landlady fixed me something
to eat and I went to bed" he said.
Il was not out again that night.
Tommy came home about 5:15 and
went out When he came back /
complained of being sick and he
went out again and got me quiz
nine and whisky. He went out
again and I did not know when he
came home.
81 was feeling better in the
morning and got up and went to
work"
The defendant is a married man.
He said so on the stand. Yes, he
had a child, also. No, he had not
been separated from his family
except during the time he was con-
fined to Pontiac for robbery with
out a gun. His wife is in Chicago
at the present time.
No, he had no girl in Rock Is
land to whom he had been paying
attentions previous to his arrest.
Yes. he did attend parties with a
lady friend, insisting that the lat
ter term be used.
Is "a Years of Age.
Preliminary examination Of the
defendant brought out the facts
as related below:
He left school between the ages
of II and Is and is now "a years
of age. He was an entertainer,
singing in vaudeville, until the age
of 10 or 20. He was married July
81, 1914. His wife is of the same
age and was on the stage with
him. The child is 5 years of age.
O'Riley was 81 years old when
committed to Pontiac. He spent
Is months there before being
paroled to Rock Island to work at
the arsenal.
Talked Freely.
That O'Reily talked freely OF the
part he played in the murder of
Sheriff Wigers after his arrest was
brought out in testimony of Tom
Cox, Rock Island chief OF police;
Walter Kittilsen, who at the time
was a deputy sheriff; Captain T. b.
Clarkson, parole agent; Sheriff
John G. Miller, John P. Fleming:
sheriff of Mercer county, and
Deputy Sheriff Jesse Hanna
All of the above named. excepting
Hanna, occupied the stand yester-
day afternoon. Answers made by
each indicated that the information
was secured from O'Riley without
threats or subterfuge, just in cas-
ual sort of manner as the questions
were put to the man now on trial
at various times.
The testimony indicated that
O'RiIey chung to the standards Of
the profession he is said to have
followed in that he refused to i'm
plicate Giblin and O'Hara as par
ties to the crime. The latter two

stances of the shooting and told me
that and the other three had com
mitted the deed. He said / was the
one who had shot the sEheriff, and
that l had shot to kill. He told
me that he knew all about my run
ming up the road and being left by
the bandits automobile
Now tell me- he said, WASN'T
Tommy Walsh there? I did not
know and could not say yes, but
did implicate myself in order to
give my friend a chance"
O'Riley related how Cox had pic
tured the circumstances that led to
the killing of the sheriff, describ-
ing the movement of the bandits
car and telling of the man
crouched on the running board.
Cox described to him the holdup
that took place.
The state was sustained in its OBJ
lection to a question asking the
witness II any statement had beer
made by him except on matters
that had been so detailed.
His attorney asked: What did
you say to Cox and what did he
say to you further?"
"He told me the best thing tot do
was to go in court and plead guilty
to charge OF robbery and claim
self-dsfense for the shooting and
that in so doing would get on
lighter"
What did Kittilsen say to you
on the trip made Jan. from Aledo
to Rock Island?"
"He said: I really believe If !
was out there that night, nothing
like that would have happened
and I asked him why. He replied:
I would have driven the car up to
the hoIdup and called a halt 1
said that would have been a good
idea"
Did you ever say to Mr.. Kittil-
sen in Rock Island that you were
afraid of the roper"
mo, sir"
Were you ever crying while in
his CUSTODY"
'No, sir
Attorney Wood could not recall
the name of the witness who had
testified that O'Reily had said to
him he intended to get married and
went out to get the money for that
but he asked if that were
true.
mo, sir" replied ORiley.
CrOss.ExaminatiOn
In the cross-examination, ORR
ley said he had known Walsh for
20 months, friendship developing
while they were inmates of Pontiac
He stated that Walsh
had been a particular pal of Glib
lin at the school but had come to
Rock Island along with him, ORR
ley. He said he did not know
O'Hara and had seen him only
once while in Rock Island.
In response to a direct question,
he stated that he was not out on
the Coaltown road the night the
murder was committed.

Speaking from personal expert

well known nurse, residing at 721
Seventh avenue, Peoria, III, in a
conversation, recently, Il know
Tanlac to be a most valuable medi-
cine and / feel 1t my duty to give
the facts to the world"
Mrs. Travis is only one of a great
many in her profession who have
endorsed Tanlac. She has been
nursing the sick for eighteen years
and her statement, coming, as it
does, from one of such wide ex-
perience, will be read with inter
eat everywhere.
~as-' 1t is my honest belief" con-
unucc 3hrs. Travis, that there are
millions of people who, if they only
knew Tanlac as l do since using
it myself, would lose no time in
relieving themselves of their mis-
cry as I have done.
The way happened to know of

not to be able to retain food. /

At this point my physician and
friend advised me to try Tanlac for
a few days. Knowing he would not
advise me wrong I ordered a bot
tie at once and two days later my
suffering was letting up. Those
terrible pains began to leave, the
swelling and bloating commenced
TO go down and in a day or two
more I changed from liquid diet

stantial food. From that time on

custody while confined in the Mer-
Ger county Jail at Aledo, and sfe
now enjoying their liberty while
O'Riley makes the fight for life
alone.
Cox, who at the time was a de-
tective on the Rock Island police
force, stated, however, that O'Riley
had admitted to him that O'Hara
and Giblin participated in the deed.
He could not get him to say that
Thomas Walsh. his roommate, was
mixed in the affair.
Sheriff Fleming of Aledo was the
first witness summoned yesterday
afternoon. He related what he re-
membered of his conversations with
ORiley, in which the latter said
the bandit gang had not started
out with the intention of killing,
but only to secure money. O'Riley
told him that when the first shot
was fired, he believed it was a case
of self-defense and consequently
returned the fire.
O'Riley admitted to Kittilsen
while enroute on Jan. s to Rock Is
land from Aledo that he was
crouched on the running board of
the Buick roadster, certifying the
statement of former Deputy Will
bur Hepburn that he saw a man in
such a position. O'Riley denied 10
Kittilsen that he noticed the sheriff
and deputies near the gallon
houses.
Feared the GaIlOws.
An instance was related by Kit
tilsen showing O'Riiey's fear of the
gallows. 1t was while the deputy
was taking the prisoner from the
Rock Island city jail to the county
Jail. AS told by the witness, it fol-
lows:
81 noticed him crying and I asked
what was the matter" he said. HE
said he was afraid. Afraid of
That?' 1 asked. He replied, the
rope"
A few days later while Kittilsen
was with his prisoner at the Bur
lington station. waiting to board a
train for Aledo, the man displayed
feeling when he remarked that he
wasn't bad and didn't want people
to think wrong Of him, but for
everyone to speak a good word for
him.
The coat and vest worn by Sher-
if Wigers at the time he was killed
were identified by Sheriff Miller,
who was at the time coroner of the
county. They were entered as ex-
hibit No. for the state and passed
to the jury for inspection. The
jurors examined closely the bullet
marks in the wearing apparel.
