ACCUSE FATHER
OF 4 MURDERS
connecticut Man Is Charged
With AtroCious Crimes by
Two of His Sons.
PASSION FOR MONEY

Middletown, Conn.-Lodged in jail
IN Middlesex county, Conn, is a short,
stolid German, who, if all that is said
about him is true, or even half of it,
Is likely never again to regain his free
dom, II he is not condemned to death.
Emil Schultz was the former ruler
Of Shailerville, q little settlement Of
2OO souls. He conducted the general
store. He was former constable In
the settlement. He was and is domi-
neerlng in manner and was q stern
character, of whom the people stood
In awe. For years he was regarded
the terror Of the community and lord
ed 1t over others with proud disdain.
Things had prospered with him and
with a good business and a comfort
able sum laid away in the bank, he
took on great Importance in his own
opinion and for that matter In the
eyes Of the people.
Idol Has Fallen.
But the idol has fallen from its
pedestal. Schultz lies in Jail on the
charge of assault with intent to kill,
committed against his wife, and as
the result of Investigations now being
conducted by authorities he may have
also to answer within very few days
for series of atrOciouS murders.
One of Schutte's weaknesses was an
inordinate passion for money. Be
cause she would not deed over to him
certain property she possessed, the
wife was driven from her home by
the enraged and avaricious husband,
who chased her into the woods, firing
revolver bullets at her as she fed.
Mrs. Schultz was compelled to swear
out a warrant for his arrest. The
moment the old man was in Jail, peo-
pie began to talk and the authorities
to act upon their intimations and sug-
gestiOns.
The result Is that Schultz is ac-
cused by his twelve-year-Old son, Au-
gustine, with the murder Of a farm
hand, killed, it is believed, for his
money, and is charged by another
son, julius, with having shot to death

three other deaths, it is suspected,
may be laid up against him.
But the most atrocious crime
charged against Schultz is the MUIR
der of Joseph Ball, his wife and eight
een-year-old son, Jacob, in December,
1915. The charge has been made by
the mans own son, julius Schultz,
who fed from home after the crime
and enlisted in the navy in hopes OF
forgetting the shocking scene he Wit
messed on a cold December night.
Murder of Ball Family.
Joseph Ball was Hungarian who
had Anglicized his name. He lived
in a little shack in a valley PACK OF
tbe Schultz home. On December IL,
1915. julius says his father aroused
him from sleep and ordered him to
dress and accompany him. When they
were ready to leave the house the
father handed him a gun and carried
one himself. Outside the door Schultz
Dicked up a can of kerosene and a
bag of shavings. Arrived close by the
Ball shack the father ordered julius
to take up a position % feet from the
door and shoot anyone who might
leave the building. Then with the
kerosene can and the shavings the
old man started fires at each END OF
the shack and when the terrified in
mates rushed out shot them down.
one by one he carried the bodies with
in the shack, piled them one on the
other and smiled as he watched them
burn.
There had been bad blood between
Schultz and Joseph Ball

Try This If You
Have Dandruf

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain. ordinary
liquid arvon: apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly. and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous. glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive. and four
ounces is all you will need. This sim
pie remedy has never been known to
fail-AdV.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are tn result of DR..
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids 1t is best not to
take calomel. Let DR.. Edwards Olive
