testify if he had property here, Gil
liom ruled that Stephenson could
not be brought in court to testify

 The two editors, conversing in a low conversational tone, consumed ' minutes and ? seconds, with charge of S175 to the London Ex- press, the paper putting in the call. The conversation covered the weather, the audibility. and the public interest in the new service.

Loeb and Leopold Will
 Not Have to Pay Anyway

Joliet, H., Jan. ' N1 - Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, legally penniless and as life prisoners in Joliet with no means of income. to- day awaited the action of a jury which heard the S20O,OOO damage suit brought against them by a Chi cago taxicab driver, who charged mutilation.
 The jury received the case late yesterday, but when no verdict had been reached by midnight, Judge Frank Hooper directed that any de- cision be sealed and delivered today, Reports Altering from the jury room indicated the jurymen were divided seven to five for judgment against the "thrill' slayers of Bobby Franks.
 The two youths, disappointed when told they would not be brought from their prison cells to hear the verdict. found consolation in au'unofficial ex- planation in court that Charles Ream. the plaintiff, would be unable by the letter of the law, to collect anything if given the judgment.

SECRET, BAH! SAYS RABO|D
Driving Car Is All in the Bean
 by Mental Telepathy

Miraculous seemingly beyond human power and mystifying were the acts of the late Harry Houdini, sometimes called the King of Mystery" but right here in New Britain you will have the pleasure of witnessing the impossible when Rajah Raboid steps into the new Chrysler next Tuesday noon in front of the Strand Theater and performs his almost superhuman feat of driv- ing through traffic blirdfolded, es- pecially with the congestion which prevails in the downtown sections of the city. Thousands of conjectures have been made as many plausible explanations offered, but at last the secret is unfolded to the readers of the Herald, which will sponsor the drive of the Man of Mystery" in an interview given exclusively to this paper.
 ITO the question as to how I can drive through traffic with my eyes closed and blindfoloed with many thicknesses of adhesive tape. it can be best explained by the unlimited power of the minu over the nerve force of matter. You have, un- doubtedly, heard that brains com mand every section of the brawn. Here is an excellent case which clearly illustrates the seemingly baf- fling puzzle confronting all who wit ness my feats. In the stunt of driv- ing a car without the use of my eyes, my wife, who is trained to re- spond to the thoughts coursing through my mind, drives a car a lit tie behind the one I am driving, and a little to the right, so that she can have an unobstructed view of the , traffic ahead.
 "She communicates her thought to me by mental telepathy, that science of which comparatively lit tie is known, and I drive the car accordingly. Perhaps one may think that this power. which Is pc culiar to my wife and myself, has been acquired with no little effort on our part. Learn now the error of such convictions. We have spent the better part of seven years per fecting this science, until now we have our minds perfectly attuned.'

ANGRY, SPREADING
 RASH ON BABY'S BODY
Checked and haaIsd by soothing ointment

Los Angeles, Cal, July s. "When my baby was four months old, little red pimples which resem- bled heat or teething rash appeared on her body. l used various baby powders, but the trouble kept spreading until nearly all the lower part of her body was covered. Then it began to look white and scaly and l knew it was more than an ordinary rash. l decided to try Resinol Ointment, and after the first two or three applications ] noticed an improvement. l kept oD using this ointment, however, and bought some Resinol Soap to bathe her with. The result was that the trouble completely disappeared. l have always used Resinol Soap for her bath since. She is two years old now, and her skin is absolutely free from any blerish. When my boy began to have ringworms, I was so persistent in the use of Res- incl Ointment that they were soon cleared away. 1 wouldn't be with, out Resinol in the house, and at the least sign of any eruption on the children, I use it."
