THE majority of people with SCI
- atica or sciatic neuralgia are
men between the ages of 80 and so.
People who have this disease suf-
fer from severe pain which may
begin as a dull ache in the back of
the thigh, but which finally becomes
a burning or piercing pain radiating
downward from the back of the
thigh to the muscles of the calf and
even to the foot.
When the pain begins, it causes
a severe degree of discomfort, so
that the person affected is likely to
shift his position, keep his leg f1exed,
walk, or to do all sorts of things in
order to get relief.
Sometimes the attacks are mild

1t doesn't look so important, that item in the pa

the rules of the house of representatives.

FARLEY is HELD
IN DEATH CASE
Fate of Frank Scott May Be
Decided Today.

Fate of Frank Scott, South Bend
Negro, sentenced to die in the cleo
trio chair at Indiana state prison
Thursday at midnight, hinged
on a conference of SCOTS at
torneys with L. o. Chasey, secre-
tary to Governor Harry G. Leslie,
at the statehouse today.
According to plans completed Sat-
urday, it appeared likely that the
condemned man will be granted a
reprieve, either by Governor Leslie
or the supreme court.
R. L. Bailey and r. L. Broken
burr, Negro attorneys of this city,
conferred this morning with Cha
Sey and Bert Walker, deputy at
torney general. They have planned
perfecting an appeal to the high
court if stay of execution can be OBJ
tain. The conference was to be
continued this afternoon, SCOTS at
torneyS asking ninety day stay.
Scott was sentenced for the muir
der Of Isham Hampton, Negro,
whom he alleges stole his wife. His
was the first death sentence in st.
Joseph county in forty years. He
was defended by Edwin Sommer,
pauper attorney. Because he lacked
funds, no motion for new trial
or appeal was taken. 1t has been
customary to appeal death SEN
fences, almost without exception, in
Indiana courts.
The Indianapolis attorneys point
ed out that the $50 days for appeal
have not yet elapsed, as Scott was
sentenced Nov. %, 1880.

The thirty day sentence which

reScinded today, when O'Dunne
issued a scathing attack on the
press for publicity given the i'm
pending whipping. He said:
"Such action seems advisable

vulgar order, by pictorial display

posed in 1926, which photographs
ought never to have been taken

They are not in accord with

In questioning the last few tales

states prosecutor, indicated the
state will not attempt to prove q

prove that he was killed and by
whom. Under the law proof of mo-

The way was cleared for the
opening statement by Brooks. who
viii outline publicly for the first
time the evidence which the state

spent months investigating the
crime and following cleWS to all cor

CLEVELAND, March 23.-The
~ state of Ohio now faces the
unique problem Of having to
forcibly eject a man from one of
its prisons.
Rather than accept a profered
parole which would imply that he
was guilty of killing his pretty
young sweetheart four years ago,
Ermil (Frenchy) BalaneScu pre-
ferS to remain in Mansfield re-
formatory and finish out his
twenty-year term.
State officials announce they
will release Balanescu on parole
on April /, despite his protests.
1t must be a pardon and
clear name or nothing" the youth
tells officials. II can not accept
parole, which would appear to my
friends to be an admission of
guilt"
LIS mother, Mrs. Anna .Bala-
Il l. nescu of Cleveland, ShareS
his view.
A native OF Paris, she brought
her son to America in order, she
said, that he might have more
opportunities and a better educa-
ton.
"Ermil is a good boy" she says.
Il don't want him to come back
to me on a parole. He is inno-
cent and I want the world to
know it.
IF my boy can't get pardon
and a clear name, / would rather
see him remain in prison for the
rest of his life. oh, why don't
they admit they we're wrong?"
Balanescu was convicted of the
sensational love pill killing of
Dorothy Kirk, a stenographer.
Il u =
TINE state alleged he fed the
4 girl strange love potions" in
series of weird medical eX-
periments until she died. He was
studying pharmacy at the time.
Quantities of strange herbs and
drugs were found in his home.
Since his Imprisonment he has
continued the study of pharmacy,
to which he is devoted.
BalaneScu has been a model
prisoner. In his cell he has set

heart.
He keeps a light burning before
