stipation? Then read this sincere,
unsolicited letter:
/ "I tried so many kinds of laxatives for
constipation, but after a while they all
failed to do their work. l started to eat
KELLOGG'S ALL-BFAN some time ago
and was surprised to find this wonderful
product helped me as many laxatives had
failed to do. eat it every day now and am
happy to say feel like a new man.! Mr..
B. Lee Ward. lis Park Avenue, Edge
wood 5, R. l.
| Yes, eating ALL-BRAN regu-
larly often brings lasting relief
from constipation due to lack OF
bulk in the diet. For best results,
eat it for breakfast every day
and drink plenty of water. Try it
for ten days! If by that time you
are not completely satisfied with
KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN, send
the empty carton to the Kellogg
Company, Battle Creek, Michigan,
and get double your money back.
! ALL-BRAN is not a purgative
but wholesome food made from
the vital outer layers Of whole
wheat. Eat daily either as cereal,
or in mullins. Ask your grocer for

monds" the colonel said were miss
ing from collection returned few
days previously by Chicago
fence" supposedly operating under
Col Durant's telephoned directions
The defendant, a former attorney
in the Interior Department here
was said to have made several
mysterious telephone calls, as he did
when a large number of loose gems
were recovered from baggage
locker in Chicago railway station
None of these calls was overheard
Col. Pierce said, and Col. Durant
finally led them to second railway
station
The defendant went into tele-
phone booth opposite the baggage
room, the witness declared, where
he was supposed to find concealed
baggage check to enable him to
obtain "shoe-box" size carton OF
jewelry from the check room.
Returns With Torn Envelope.
Instead of returning with the
check, Col. Pierce continued, the
accused came out of the booth with
torn envelope on which was
scrawled, Sorry, but my hat
knocked your check of. i guess
I have a right to keep the baggage
The investigator said Col. Durant
told them the check was supposed to
be mo. no." and when he obtained
this check from the attendant, 1t
contained a sticky substance" 1t
was not indicated if this was con-
sidered proof this check had been
pasted in the telephone booth and
later redeemed by the person who
wrote the note.
Col Pierce said the defendant
refused repeatedly to identify the
fence" he had been telephoning
and would not describe him beyond
indicating he was tough and some
body might get hurt"
He only got a negative shake of
the head, Col. Pierce continued,
when he finally exclaimed, For
Gods sake colonel, quit fooling
around and tell us who these people
are so we can do something about
them!"
Brother Came to Office.
The defendant then was flown
back to Washington, and his brother
came to Col. Durant's offices
Col. Durant told us his brother
James hadn't told us all he knew
Col Pierce said. He added he had
told James to give us additional
information"
The colonel said after this he
and the Durant brothers got into
an automobile with Maj. John D.
Salb, an investigator attached to the
Provost Marshal Generals Office
At this juncture the defense re-
quested ruling on whether further
testimony as to James Durant was
admissible.
Earlier, Col Charles Maylon, ex-
ecutive officer in the personnel sec
ton of the Army Air Forces, in
which Col. Durant had served prior
to going overseas, testified his name
had been attached in an unauthor-
lied manner to an order directing
Col. Durant's separation from the
service.
The order was initiated ~. w. d.
it was testified, and the prosecution
contended at the trial in Germany
the defendant initiated the order te
place him on terminal leave at
about the time he learned he was
under suspicion in the gem theft.
