Mae and Joseph Stephens, testified in
previous inquiries that the body was
mangled beyond description. Blood
Mrdling tales were circulated in Madi-
son shortly after Lawrence disappear
cd, t Is said.
The alleged mystery murder of Rich
ard s, Lawrence of South Madison on
March q, 1918, which has been under
discussion here, is a revival of an Old
story that started shortly after his
death, according to expression Today
of officials connected with the case
at that time.
The story has oeen brought out that
Lawrence, who supposedly was kill
ed and badly mangled by q railroad
tran, was in fact not Lawrence but
an unidentified granger. 1t was al
legci by his widow that Lawrence
was wealthy, and to steal his money
which was supposed to have been
sewed up in his clothes. he had been
murdered, and his body disposed OF
under the pretense that ne had been
killed by the train.
There were so many complications
to the case which was persistently
pressed by his wife that the former
district attorney Roman Helman.
employed a detective to investigate.
His investigation cost the county at
that time $4,000, according TO Mr..
Helman, and developed nothing that
would tend to show that Lawrence
had n fortune OF any kind or that he
had met with foul play.
There has been no definite action
taken by the present district attorney,
Theodore Lewis, who was declared TO
have taken an interest In rev!ving
the case. Expression Of police Of
ficials is that nothing will be done
to prosecute those supposedly con-
neUed with the allegedd murder.
Mrs Lawrence for three years has
been engaged in trying 10 establish
the murder theory for the death OF
her husband. After he had been bur-
led for two years. his body was ex-
humed ard WAS declared to have been
tampered with.

Big Wholesaler.

The fact that 625,OOO bottles of
Tanlac have been sold in the state of
New York since its introduction
there less than one year ago, is a
big business item that will attract
unusual attention throughout the en-
tire East, for nothing like it has ev-

records.
MIR. George B. Evans, manager of
the Gibson-Snow Company, the we'll
known wholesale druggists, with
branches in Albany, Buffalo. Roches
ter and Syracuse, recently announced
that the preparation was now selling
in their trade territories alone at the
phenomenal rate of approximately
100000 bottles year.
"If the present rate continues"
said Mr.. Evans, this state alone will
probably require considerably over
10000 bottles a year. This is a ire
mendous figure, but am really con-
sentative in making this statement"
