 Middlc-agcd and broke" no long CT the boxing beau brummel, Mccoy nonctheless expressed confidence in his ability to sidcstep the knockout punch of verdict of guilty
 They cant turn a suicide Into a murder" he declared as he waited 1 for his case to be called. Mccoy has maintained since his arrest that Mrs Mors. divorced wife of Albert A. Mors, antique dealer, committed suicide, despite his efforts to prevent her. In despair aYl rage over her act, he said, he armed himself and went out to kill Mors. Failing to find Mors, he wounded two men and q woman in and near the Mors anr tique shop.
 i McCoys sister Mrs. Jennie Thom- as told the grand jury which in- dicted him, however that Mccoy the night of the shooting gave her jew elry afterward identified as property of Mrs. Mors, and said: rI'm afraid 7 I killed that woman"
 Mrs. Iva Martin, occupant of an apartment beneath that in which Mrs. Mors died, said she heard the woman pleading for mercy, heard a shot and saw, "a short thick set man." whom she later identified as Mors. flee from the apartment.
 The defensse has an alienist's re- port that Mccoy has an incurable brain disease which has affected his mentality and will kill him or cause complete insanity within few years. McCoy's attorneys did not deny that they would seek a post ponement of the case on the ground that certain dispositions bearing on McCoy's sanity had not arrived from the cast.

Thousands Of former Rheumatic

Volta. the well-known italian phy-
sicfst (for whom the electric volt was
named) and his discovery which he
has called Volta. Volta ID o scientific
combination Of certain ingredients
which its discoverer has compounded
into 0 fine powder. This powder Is not
taken internally, but II shaken into
the shoes, from which it II intended to
be absorbed into the blood stream
through the myriad pores Of the feet.
This absorption Ii due, no doubt, to
the fact that the feet contain 10 times
a many pores to the square inch as
are found In any other part Of the
body. The secret Of Volta powder 10
relieve rheumatic pain 50 quickly Is
due to its tendency to eliminate excess
Uric acid which poisons the system
(throuRh the BLOODY and thus causes
the tortures Of Rheumatism. The use
Of Volta powder has demonstrated
such astonishing results in literally
thousands Of cases, many Of which
were considered hopeless, that the
American distributors have authorized
local druggists to dispense Volta to
rheumatic sufferers In this city with an
unqualified guarantee to return the
full purchase price on the first box in
any rare case where the rheumatic
pains are not wonderfully relieved. All
who suffer from rheumatic pains, no
matter how long-standing their cases
NAV be, should take immediate ad-
vantage Of this liberal offer. You
can ret Volta Powder from all good
druggists everywhere.
