Eberhardt is alleged to have been the leader of a “night rider” gang, which is alleged to have attempted | to lynch Mrs. Goldie Wheeler, 21, and Lester Berry, 18, several nights 1g0, after accusing them of improper conduct. They told the Belmout county grand jury that they were hanged to a tree by the necks with only their toes touching the ground. Heretofore held in threat of death from the raiders if any of their activities were revealed, several Barton citizens voluntarily appeared before Prosecutor Waddell, last night, affer Eberhardt's arrest, and related how the band had dom- inated the little village for months. These witnesses charged that women had been lured away from home by the masked robed band and beaten because of some fancied wrong they had committed. Young boys and girls, particularly, were said to have been the victims of the gang. As a result of the additional in- formation given him last night by the voluntary witnesses, Prosecutor Waddell said he expects to obtain the arrest of at least half a dozen other persons. Eberhardt was released under $1.500 bond today in common pleas court, pending arraignment. BUY MOVIE INTERESTS Warner Brothers Acquire 19,000 Shares of First National Picturcs Corporation Common.

It is expect- d that he will go on trial within a few woeks, the exact date to be an- nounced shortly. Mrs, Weiss, who was suspected of having had knowledge of Samuel's alleged murderous intent, has ap- parently convinced the authorities of her innocence, and she will be one of the most prominent witnesses for the state. She will be looked to for the motive of the alleged murder of her husband, as both she and Samuel admitted that they were lovers for a long time, a fact that had provoked numerous quarrels be- tween the brothers. According to Samuel's confession, which he later repudiated, Mrs. Weiss had shown a disinclination to allow him to continue illicit relations with her, and he determined to end his brother's life, not to marry the widow, however, but to clear his brother out of his path.

Camidy, counsel for Stephen Hoppe, accused of the mur- der of Patrolman Alfred N. Hollis of the Quincy police force on the morning of October 4, 1927, today resumed his cros-examination of Patrolman J. Fitzgerald, the Com- monwealth’s second witness. Fitzgerald was with the slain 1aan on the night of the murder. Cas- sidy's first few questions were cen- tered on weather conditions on the morning of the crime, Yesterday Fitzgerald testified it s raining and that at one time he atepped into a doorway near the Phill Drothers' Hardware store in the rear of which Hollis was found fatally wounded. Hoppe Well Guarded Escortel by four armed guards, Hoppe, still maintaining his darper appearance, was brought into the courtroom confined in the prisoner’s cage. + He was chewing gum and he siiled faintluy as Fitzgerald mount- ed the stand. Meanwhile, in the corridor out- side the courtroom, an attractive girl in her early twenties, was argu- ing with photographers who were attempting to get her to pose for a picture. 8he was Hoppe's sweetheart Helen Bradshaw, of Hartford, Conn, She walked from one end of the corridor to the other in an effort to evade the persistent cameramen. Refuses to Pose Finally cornered, she said indig- o sir, nobody's going to get a picture of my mug.” The patrolman was on the stand for about a half hour. Cassidy made him repeat the story he gave on the witness stand yesterday. Fitzgerald recounted the events with no variation in facts from his pre- ‘ious testimony. Then the defense asked him how many times he had discussed his knowledge of the murder with other persons. The policeman answered that it was about four or five times. Fitzgerald said he left the scene of the murder at 6:15 a. m. but did not hand in his written rcport of the crime until “about October Knew of Reward Casidy asked the witness if he knew there was a $1,000 reward for the apprehension of the murderer and Fitzgerald answered: “Why yes, but so did everyone else.” At this point, Assistant Distsict Attorney William P. Kelley took the witness for a question. “Does the knowledge of this re- ward affect your testimony in any he asked. “Not a bit,” Fitzgerald answered and he was excused. Then Patrolman James A. D. Mc- Kay, of Quincy, who was the driver | of the patrol wagon on the moraing of the murder, was called to the stand. He was the wocond witness of the day and the third since the start of the trial. ley, McKay sald he was called to the -acene of the slaying at between 4:45 a. m., and ¢:50 a. m. McKay said he was the first per- son to enter the hardware store. After breaking in the front door, he testified he saw a package of cur- rency and & bag, containing money in front of the safe, A tool, which he thought was cither a chisel or drill, was stuck in the combination, he eontinued. . Then he went to the back.of the store where he found a large hole bad been cut In the board partition separating the front of the store from a storage room in the rear. He entered the storeroom by breaking through the door with a hammer, the witness related and found some shovels and hen wire leaning against a window. Tells of Footpriats Asked what he saw on the window #ill, McKay answered that he found footprints and some fresh mud. On the floor of the rear room he said he found parts of the partition which had been cut out, The lock on the window opened, McKay said. Associate counsel for the defense, un- the next witness. -Ferguson was on the running board in the rear of the patrol wagon the morning it was summoned to the scene. Kelley asked Ferguson concerning the condition of the store when he entered, Ferguson gave a version similar to that recited by McKay. Ho said he found ‘footprints and mud on the window in the back storeroom. On cross-examination, the defense again referred to weather conditions. Ferguson said that on his arrival at the scene, other policemen were al- ready using searchlights and he had no difficulty sceing things. Ho was followed on the witness stand by Police Bergeant Henry Reil- Iy, of Quincy, who was in charge of Fitzgerald and Hollis. Doctor Found Women and Children Sick . More _(lft:n than Men As a family doctor at Monticello, Illinois, the whole human body, not any small part of it, was Dr. Cald- well's practice. More than half his “calls” were on women, children and babies, They are the one most often sick. But their illnesses were usually of a minor nature—colds, fevers, headaches, biliousness—and all of them required first a thorough evacuation. They were constipated. ‘In the course of Dr. Caldwell's 47 vears' practice, he found a good deal of success in such cases with a prescription of his own contain- ing simple laxative herbs with pep- sin. In 1892 he decided to use this formula in the manufacture of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and placed it on the market. The preparation immediately had as great a public success as it pre- viously had in Dr. Caldwell's private practice. Now, the third generation is using it. Mothers are giving it to their children who were given it by their mothers. Every second of the working day someone some- where is going into a drug store to buy it. There are thousands of homes in this country that are nev. er without a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and we have many hundreds of letters from grateful people telling us it helped when everything else failed. While women, children znd elder- Iy people are especially benefited by Dr. Caldwell's Syrup - Pepsin, its mild, gentle action is promptly ef- fective on the most robust constitu- tion and in the most obstinate cases. Containing neither opiates nor nar- R S M) cotics, it is safe for the tiniest baby. Children like it and take it willing- ly.
