Chicago, Sept 26.-Nolan T. Rob-
'nson, an escaped inmate of the

iirst case where the death penalty

patient
Robinson had married a young
country girl, member OF an excel
lent family, and baby girl was born

to his wife and she finally was
forced to take refuge with her pa
rents, Mr.. and Mrs. L. K. Brown,
OF Wheaton, III. Soon thereafter
Robinson was adjudged insane and
sent to Elgin. After he escaped,
he called his wife on the telephone
and demanded that she meet him.
She told him she would rather be
dead than to live with him.
, All right" he responded. sI'll
come over and clean out the entire
family"
The sheriff was notified and
watched the house for two nights.
On the third night he left at mid
night and a half hour later Robin
son entered. He beat the aged
couple SO savagely with an iron bar
that they later died. He struck his
baby fearful blow, from which it
will never recover and knocked his
wife UNCONSCIOUS. Then he dragged
and carried her three miles, alter
nately kissing, beating and attack
ing her and finally threw her into
a farmyard and came to Chicago
on an interurban car. The conduc-
ter noticed his bloody clothes and
handssand caused his arrest.
After he had been found guilty
he walked calmly to the jury box
and said: Gentlemen of the jury,
| wish to thank you for what you
have done. Your verdict s>right.
The sentence of death is what l de-
serve. l thank you very much"

Hair Often Ruined
BY Careless Washing
BY FRANCES JONES

Soap should be used very carefully,
if you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is Null
sified cocoanut oil shampoo (Which is
pure and greaseless), and is better
than anything 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. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust. dir,
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 ger Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and few ounces will supply
every member of thu family for
months.-Adv.
