concern to come under the fire in Dis
trict Attorney Edward Swann's John
Doe inquiry, which wac begun yes
tertiay to investigate the activities OF
bail bond companies, admitted his
company sometimes accepted jewelry
and like tangible collateral to secure
itself against default in the bail bonds
II executes.
But he declared that he was con-
fident that none of the collateral thus
accepted and locked in the company s
vaults could possibly be stolen prop
erty. He was unable to explain, un-
der questioning by William A. Nc
Quaid, George A. Lavelle and Ferdi-
nand Pecora, Assistant District At
torneys. just what precautions were
taken by himself or the company's s
assistant secretary, William l.. Nc
Ginty, TO prevent that possibility.
''The quantity of jewelry we handle. .

Love Letters Translated.

Mr.. Weinberger said that Miss Han
nenberger had turned over to him sew
eral love letters written to her by the
Rev. Densel, in which he puts his love
on a religious and spiritual basis. The
girl declared that throughout the affair
the preacher continually told her that
by yielding to him and returning his af-
fection she was pleasing God. All OF the
letters are written in Dutch and all of
them are very long. covering many
pages with closely written script. Some
of them are written on the stationery
OF the First Netherlands Church. and
begin Dearest" MY Beloved In the
Lord" and Dearest Trina" The preach
er ended them with: Il am ever yours"
and Il am ever yours In Christ" He
signed them variously as Cor" "Rev
G. Densel" and "D." The ones signed
"Cor" have the signature followed
by KS.
Two or three of the letters have been
translated by Mr.. Weinberger into Eng
lish and we're made public last night to
support the girls contention that the
minister deceived her by trying to erect
and maintain a spiritual and religious
foundation for the affair One says in
part:
Believe me. sweetheart. you will be
put TO test as well as I. I am per-
haps little more hardened In spiritual
battles. | have already for long time
thought and found my only refuge In
the Lord. and In His way. That ac-
counts for my boldness and open heart
edness toward you. I have to bear a
great deal In my home. but that does not
concern me. My path. lot and condi-
tion lie In the Lords hands. That will
tend to make us careful in our conduct

Bonus Complaints.

A few minutes later AIR. McQuaid

three instances" since the company en-
barked in the bail bond business six or
seven years ago clients of theirs had
complained bitterly that. in addition 70
the . per cent premium charge war
ranted by law. agents of the company
had exacted such ,exorbitant bonuses"
for executing hail bonds for their friends

disgruntled ones. in order to conciliate

supposed to be the company's sole COM

10 retain the heavy bonuses they had

MANY CASES OF
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Fest Dry, Avoid
Exposure and Eat Less Meat.

Stay off the damp ground, AVOID
exposure, keep feet dry, eat less
meat, drink lots of water and above
al take a spoonful of salts occa-
sionally to keep down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poison
Gus toxin, called uric acid, which Is
generated in the bowels and ABSORBED
INTO the blood. 1t is the function OF
the kidneys to filter this acid from
the blood and cast it out in the urine.
The pores of the skin are also
means of freeing the blood of this
impurity. In damp and chilly, cold
weather the skin pores are closed.
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate this uric acid
which keeps accommodating and cir
culating through the system, even
tually settling in the joints and mus
cles causing stiffness, soreness and
pain called rheumatism
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a table
spoonful in a. glass of water and
drink before breakfast each morning
for a week This is said to eliminate
uric acid by stimulating the kidneys
TO normal action, thus Kidding the
blood of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with
lithia and is used with excellent re
S,rlts nv thousands of folks who are
subject to rheuma tism.-AdV.
