Strutynsky took the witness stand at the inquest but was asked nothing except her name and place of residence, Other witnesses told of how the woman, heavily velled, had entered the church, expressed a desire to make a confession, had waited for some time until the Rev, Stetsuk ar- rived, dnd then walked down the main aisle to the confessional box. She shot the priest through the head as she knelt before him, witnesses sald, and fired other shots at him as he staggered down the aisle and col- lapsed. Used Priest's Pistol The Rev. Father V. Balogh, of the Laberal Greek Catholle church of Youngstown, whose pistol was used by Mrs. Strutynsky to kill the min- ister, was one of the witnesses, He sald Mrs. Strutynsky had visited at his home last spring and that she had seen the pistol and asked him to allow her to take it. He concented be said. Was Hard Worker He declared Mrs. Strutynsky had been an untiring church worker and said she had for a long time becn seeking to raise funds to help her husband who was in financial difficul- ties. She had somewhat radical views ‘which the minister tried to overthrow, the witness said. A statement made by Mrs. Strutynsky in writing while she was being questioned by the police was introduced in evidence. Her Statesment "He is a hypocrite and a cheat, s0 I killed him,” the statement said. "I came to Chicage Friday to kill I"ather Stetsuk. I did it because he deceived people. 1 would not have killed him if he were ordinary but he is a leader . of men. I'am sorry I did it in the church for I had no intention to hurt God or the people's feelings.” Husband Accused According to the police, they have léarned that Mrs .Strutynsky's hus- band is under indictment for embez- zlement of $50,000 which it is sald he put into a church building fund. Parishioners denied her statement that the Rev. Stetsuk had misappro- priated church moneys. Had it not been for the tragedy. Father Stetsuk would today have appeared in police court to answer to a charge of as- sault. Two weeks ago he is alleged to have shot a 12 year old boy playing in the church yard. Father Stetsuk #said he was shooting sparrows and hit the boy accidentally. The lad claimed the priest shot him because he and other boys had gone into the yard. ‘Warrant for Strutynsky Detectives with warrants charging embezzlement waited today for Rev.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- Replies, to date, have heen re- ceived from over 50,000 women an- swering that question. 98 per cent of which say YES. That means that 98 out of every 100 women who take the medicine for the ailments for which it is recommended are benefited by it. This is a8 most remarkable record of efficiency. We doubt if any other medicine in the world equals it. Think of it—only two women out of 100 received no benefit— 98 suc- cesses out of a possible 100 Did you ever hear anything like it? We must admit that we, ourselves, are astonished. Such evideace should induce eve? woman suffering from any ailment peculiar to her sex to try table Compound and see if she ean’t be one of the 98. e Lydia E, Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass, C. A.

But that only two out of 100 received no benefit is most astonishing. It only goes to prove, however, that a medicine specialized for cer- tain definite ailments—not a cure all ' —one that is made by the most scien- tific process; not from d:u;s. but from a combination of nature’s roots and herbs, can and does do more good than hastily prepared prescrip- tions. You see, we have been making, improving and refinlnF this medicine for over 50 years until it is so perfect and so well adapted to women’s needs that it actually has the virtue to ben- efit 98 out of every 100 women who take it. Its relisbility and recognized effi- ciency hag gained for it a sale in almost every country in the world —leading all others. dia E.
