ON TALK WITH
HIS PAL, BROWN
Says He Did Not Tell Andy
Brown of Calling Marie
Wick
CAN'T EXPLAIN, HE SAYS

The defense still has three or four
witnesses who will follow Gummer> to
the stand.
GUNNER refuted his own direct tes-
timony today when he asserted that
he had not told his companion, Andy
Brown, about calling the murdered
girl, Marie Wick, by telephone the
night she was killed.
He testified on direct cross-exam-
ination last Wednesday that he had
told Brown that he had called her
UP. When asked why he had said
that Brown had been told of the tele-
phone call he answered that he could
not explain.

ious phases of the conversation Off

her, GUNNER asserted that he did
not know at that time that this girl
was dead, but he maintained that he
was afraid to tell anybody that he
alone had found her ''in that condi-
ton"
He couldn't tell her what he meant
"by that condition. repeatedly in
sisting that he didn't know she was
dead or had been murdered.

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT

1t is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently If it is en-
tirely and properly cleaned each
time by the use of a really good
shampoo The easiest to use and
quickest drying shampoo that we
can recommend to our readers is
one that brings out all the natural
beauty Of the hair and may he en-
joyed at very little expense, by dis
solving a teaspoonful of canthrox
which can be obtained from any drug
gist, in a cup of hot water. This
makes a full cup of shampoo liquid,
enough so it is easy to apply it to
all the hair instead of just to the
top of the head. This, when rubbed
into the scalp and on to every strand
of hair, chemically dissolves all i'm
purities. 1t is very soothing and cool
ing in its action, as well as beneficial
to both scalp and hair. After rinsing
out the lather so created, you will
find the scalp is fresh, clean and free
from dandruff, while the hair dries
quickly and evenly, developing a
bright luster and soft flufflness that
makes it seem very heavy.-AdYer-
tisement.
