Eddy discovered the Principle tnat
governs the entire universe, incluu-

That supreme. creative, governing
omnipresent Mind or Principle is
God, the only cause, the only creator
the only Ruler of man and the uni
verse.

take care Of the baby, and she gave
her permission, and told the doctor
that when he was positive life was
extinct, to notify her husband and he
would come and get the child.
He took the baby that morning, she
said, and brought it back that after
noon. He told her he had passed the
Fifth street dump, she said, and
thought it would be good plan to
throw it on the dump, where no one
would ever find it.

was any suffering, and he replied that
where there was no brain there was
no suffering.
On cross-examination by the de-
fence, she said that DR.. Kruger told

parent, which might tend in any way
to influence the jurors or witnesses.
will not be tolerated, and any persons
making such demonstrations will be
punished for contempt of court"
| The Judge instructed court officers
to watch closely for any such dem
| onstrations, No charge was placed
against the persons making those
which caused the charge.
! Some sensation was created In court
this morning when a charge was made
by Henry u. Johnson, one of the at.
torneys for Krueger, that men with
opinions were being selected as ven.
iremen. Exception to this was made
by Sheriff Carr, whose duty it Is to
select the veniremen.
Judge Cause completely upheld the
sheriff in statement made ir court
Il believe that the sheriff has been
entirely conscientious in selecting the
men, and can commend his efforts to
| obtain men who will make suitable
men to serve in this case," the judge
said.
