MUKDEK CASE

again-nobody.
Figure it out for yourself, sir
though I guess you've pretty well
done it already. Skeel couldn't've
done it. And there wasn't nobody
else to do II"
Markham had become interested,
and leaned forward.
after this idea had hit me"
Heath continued, II decided to take
a chance; so I got outa the SUBJ
way at the Penn Station, and
phoned Spively for Jessups address.
Then I got my first good news:
Jessup lived on Second avenue,
right around the corner from Skeel!
I picked up a coupla men from the
local station, and went to his house.
I'VE found him packing up his
things, getting ready to go to De-
troit. We locked him up, and I took
his finger prints and sent EN- TO
Dubois. thought might get line
on him that way, because crooks
don't generally begin with a job as
big as the Canary prowl."
Heath permitted himself a grin
of satisfaction.
well, sir, Dubois, nailed him up!
His name amt JeSsup at all. The
William part Is all right, but his
real moniker is Benton. He was
convicted of assault and battery in
Oakland jim 1909, and served a year
in San Quentin when Skeel was a
prisoner there.
He was also grabbed as a lookout
in a bank robbery in Brooklyn in
1914, but didn't come to trial-that's
how we happen to have his finger
prints at headquarters.
when We put him on the grill
last night, he said he changed his
name after the Brooklyn racket,
and enlisted in the army. That's
all we could get outa him; but we
didn't need any more.-Now, here
are the facts: JeSsup has served
time for assault and battery.
He was mixed up in bank rob-
berry. Skeel was fellow prisoner
of his. He's got no alibi for Satur-
day night when Skeel was killed,
and he lives round the corner. He
quit his job suddenly Saturday
afternoon.
Hes husky and strong and could
easily have done the business. He
was planning his getaway when we
nabbed him.
"And-he's the only person who
could've unbolted and rebolted that
side door Monday night. Is that
a case, or amt it, Mr.. Markham"
Markham sat several minutes in
thought.
Its a good case as far as it goes,
he said slowly: But what was his
motive in strangling the grip"
That's easy. Mr.. Vance here
suggested it the first day. You re-
member he asked Jessup about his
feelings for Odell; and JeSsup turned
red and got nervous"
"Oh, Lord" exclaimed Vance.

store, Illinois and Washington Sts.,
this city, and hear his personal ex-
PLANTATION of this surprising COM
pound. At the same time never
ending stream of voluntary indorse-
ments and reports are being re-
ceived from local people, describing
the remarkable benefits they have
derived from the use of this medi-
cine. Recently the Konjola Man
said: l. a'-
This compound has proven
vastly more effective in thousands
of cases of ill-health than any pre-
viously known medicine. In this
new day of science the medicine
first must cleanse the system Of all
poisons and this must be done
through the kidneys, liver, stomach
and bowels. 1t takes a liquid pre-
paration to do these things. In
making Konjola we selected the
juices of. twenty-five Of natures
plants and herbs" ~ J.
One of the latest residents Of this
section to make a public indorse-
ment of Konjola is Mr.. E. F. Cor
bit, 200 North Warman Ave, who
is widely acquainted in Indianapolis.
"Konjola is a wonderful medi-
cine said Mr. Corbitt, cit ener-
gized my whole system and built
me up so that / am feeling better
in general than I have in years.
my whole body was in weak
ened condition and was constantly
bothered with terrible cough that
shook my entire body. I had rheu-
matism so bad in my arms that I
could hardly raise them to my face,
and really had little use of them.
The aches and pains were so bad
that I would lie awake at nights
suffering and unable to sleep.
was getting worse every day and
I began to think that because Of
my age, you see am 80 years old,
I would never be able to get my
health back again.
"Of course, the worst thing about
my case was the fact that I could
never find a medicine to help me.
When heard of Konjola had
no idea it would really end my
troubles. but I made up my mind
to try it anyway and now this state
ment will speak for itself. I am
feeling like never had a sick day
in my life. Konjola has put new
life In my arms and since I started
taking this medicine all the aches
and pains are gone. At my age I
think it is remarkable that can
enjoy such good health. All my
rheumatism is gone and I haven't
been bothered with cough for
some time. My wife and I both
claim it is the best thing that ever
happened to us when we found
Konjola.
1T is really a pleasure to indorse
medicine which brings so much
health to suffering humanity"
The Konjola Man is at Hooks
drug store, Illinois and Washington
StS., Indianapolis, where he Is daily
meeting the public and introducing
and explaining the merits Of this
remedy. Konjola is being sold in
large quantities at all Hook drug
stores, and by all the best druggists
in all towns throughout this entire
section. Advertisement.

"As see it: Jessup was stuck on

along and sell his papers.
He got all worked up over it,
sitting there night after night, see

Then Skeel comes along, and,
recognizing him, suggests burglar

'Skeel can't do the job without

JeSsup grabs the girl and strangleS
her, intending to let Skeel get the
credit for it.
But Skeel comes out of hiding
and they talk it over. Finally they
come to an agreement, and proceed
with their original plan to loot the
place.
"Jessup tries to open the jewel
case with the poker. and Skeel fin
ishes the job with his chisel They
then go out. Skeel leaves by the
side door, and JeSsup reboltS it.
The next day Skeel hands the
Swag to Jessup to keep till things
blow over; and Jessup gets scared
and throws it away. Then they have
a row.
"Skeel decides to tell everything,
so he can get out from under; and
Jessup, suspecting he's going to do
it, goes round to his house Satur-
day night and strangles him like
he did Odell.'
Heath made a gesture of finality
and sank back in his chair.

Dempsey gave away 40 pounds to Will
lard, that Corbett was far lighter than
Sullivan, and that Fitzsimmons hardly
ever scaled as much as ITO. 1t isn't size
alone that counts. Not by a jugful.
The faults of the contendcrs don't
run to the matter OF size. Delaney, q

outspecded by fast man.
1t is for these reasons that I think
Rickard will have Dempsey In against
Tunney for the June show. He needs
more time to prepare another contender.

tfaSht Heavyweight Champion Of the World ,
TIME more / study the present
heavyweight elimination tourna-
ment the surer I am that this
Il Is genuine elimination. Not
however. In developing real
contender for Gene Tunney. I don't
believe any OF the f1ve selected class
that high. 1t seems to me this tourna-
ment win eliminate the contenders be-
cause Of their poor showing.
Though Jack Dempsey is playing
cagey, and not putting himself OH
record about what he intends doing, /
feel that the poor work Of the present
contenders will force a third Tunney-
Dempsey fight In June. this one at the
Yankee Stadium. Unless one of them
makes q sudden, sensational showing,
I don't see how the Sharkeys. Riskos,
Delarieys, Heeneys and Paulinos can
build up enough public interest for a
million dollar gate with Tunney.
As I have said before. Dempsey, de-
spite his two defeats, is the only one of
Richards choices who really stands out.
At any rate, he knocked out Sharkey.
and he had the champ on the floor at
Chicago. None Of the other contenders
have been doing very much to clinch
their claims. Both Delaney and Shar-
key kicked against fighting anyone but
the champion. Each said he had won
the right, and this despite Delarey's
defeat by Risko. and Sharkey's very
poor bout with Heeney
Tex, OF course, realized that each had
to prove himself So Delaney went into
the match with Heeney. and Sharkey
into his with Risko They had to. for
Tex made 1t pretty clear that he
wouldn't throw either into a champion
ship bout without some sort Of victory.
It isn't q question OF size or physical
ability. All Of the contenders except De-
ianey weigh about as much aS the
champion. I believe myself that man
Of ITS or l80 pounds is big enough to
fight any one. You needn't forget that
