Happily, Mrs. Willis is a sensible woman, and in

that enemies took her husbands life.
There foundation for the insinuatOn,

who is of those persons holding his felloWman with
suspicion, seeing evil in everything Of which he does not
approve and above ALL sezing every pretext the

Senator Helms belief is confounded by the word
of five physicians VINO examined Senator Willis and
report his death due to natural causes
If a sincere and sensible man had any such
picon the "Bawling BehemOh" held, he would have
made known his suspicion privately instead Of ped
ding it forth for the world to know But then
not to expect sincerity and sense from the Alabama
