At the opening of the superlor court here on Thursday morning at 10.28 o'clock, May Burns was recalled to the witness stand and Attorney Good- hart continued the cross-examination. When asked when she decided to leave New Haven, she stated that she did not decide to leave but McNulty forced Ler to go, saying he would shoot her if she didn’t, being in the Lenox hotel at the time. They did not meet by appointment. She had started for her aunt's. Attorney Goodhart became mixed in his description of New Ha- ven streets and admitted that the girl had answered cerrectly and that he was wrong. She stated that she did not tell her parents or any of the fam- ily of her leaving. She denied meeting McNulty with the idea of going to a New Haven house of il repute. There arose a question about streets in New Haven again, during which there were objections and many rul- ings by the court were reauired. At- torney’ Goodhart, and Attorney Alling, assistant prosecuting attorney of New Haven county, who is assisting State's Attorney Hull, had an argument over Little Orange’ street in New Haven, ana Attorney Hull objected to Attorne, Goodhart drawing a map by the as- sistance of the girl. The conflict between attorneys grew warm at this point, as Attorney Good- hart continued to ask about the times the girl and McNulty had met. Attor- ney Hull objected to his brother at- torney snarling at the girl, whereupon Mr, Goodhart fold the state's attorney to drop his dramatics and everything would be all right. Because of the many objections and arguments it be- came necessary for Judge Wheeler to urge progress severa] times, Mr. All- ing and Mr. Goodhart had a tilt about which knew the more about New Ha- ven streets, the former stating that he didn’t mind the map beine marked, if it was marked correctly, Attorney Goodhart persisted in call- the girl “my young woman,” ich caused the judge to reprimand him, and thereafter he referred to her s “Mis W s,” or “the witness.” he girl said she did not know where the Oneco hotel or Tom Sullivan’s sa- loon are. Objection was made by the state’s attorney to the leering manner of At- torney Goodhart in addressing the girl.

He found her suffer- ing from assault and explained her condition to the housekeeper. She was suffering from no diseas Attorney Goodhart objected to the state's attorney calling inmates of the houses women on the grounds that he had been stopped when he called May Burns “the young woman.” _ Judge Wheeler informed him that he had been restricted, as the court had found it necessary to protect the girl from the attacks of the counsel for the de- fense. Throughout the afternoon a long time was required to get a small amount of information. New Haven Detective. Jeremiah Denehy, detective sergeant of the New Haven police force, with which he has been connected twenty- seven years, testified. On January 15, 1907, he received a complaint and made inquiry and search. He inquired of a Dewey family. Did not inquire at the Lenox hotel. He first saw the com- plainant thereafter at her home on March 26 or 27, 1907. She told him that she had, been assaulted at the house of Annie Burns in New London, about four days after she arrived there. He made & record of the time of the complaint. Harrlett Thayer of Bradley street, New London, testified she saw May Burns at her_house in March, 1907. Miss Grace White came with her. May Burns made a complaint ¢f being assaulted. She remained there a weck and went away with Grace White. James McNulty came to her house, but the girl did not go with him. She had never seen the girl before. On cross-examination she sald she had seen the Burns girl in New Lon- don in June, about boat race time. She came to her house about dinner time and had dinner there. Another girl was with her. Blanche Staples of New London was called, and while being sworn proceed- d to tip over a glass of ice water. She said she lived at Addie Burns' in 1907, whereupon the chair of one of the spectators collapsed. Asked if checks were issued there at that time, she said they were. Mlss Burns was In charge.

Says It a Symptom of Feeble In- 3 active Kidneys. ° Recent hospital reports show that the dread disease, rheumatism, Is steadily increasing = throughout = the country. All known means of relief are being suggested to save the great amount of suffering this winter, el peclally among those who are not in a position to pack up and visit the noted health resorts to be treated. Recent tests prove rheumatism not exactly a disease In itseif, but a severe symptom of kidney trouble, a condi- tion caused by clogged up pores of the eliminative tissues of the kidneys which fail to filter the polsonous waste matter and uric acld from the blood, permitting these substances to remain in the veins and decompose, usually settling about the joints and muscles, causing the intense pain, swelling and stiffness of rheumatism. The following simple home treat- ment will cure Rheumatism and is harmless and inexpensive, and so simple that anybody can mix it a. home. The ingredients are: TFluld Extract Dandelior,, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Go to any 00d prescription pharmacy and get these three harmless ingredients and mix them by shaking in a bottle, tak- ing as a dose a teaspoonful after each meal and agaln at bedtime. There is nothing better in the world for backache, kidney and bladder trouble, too. Such symptoms as fre- quent and painful urination, soreness, weakness, general”and nervous debil- ity are caused by certain acids and poisonous waste matter, decayed ti sue, etc.. In the blood, which the kid- neys will clear and purify after a few doses of this prescription. G. W.

It the food you ate at your last meal did not digest, but lald for a lone time like lead on your stomach, then you have indigestion and quick action should be taken, Of course there are many other symptoms of indigestion, such as belching up of sour food, heartburn, dizziness, shortness of breath and foul breath, and if you have any of them, your stomach is out of order and should be corrected. Mi-o-na Tablets have cured thou- sands of cases of Indigestion and stomach trouble. If you have any stomach distress, Mi-o-na will relieve instant] But Mi-o-na unlike most so-called dyspepsia remedies, does more than relieve; it permanently cures dyspep- sia or any stomach trouble by putting energy and strength Into the walls of the stomach, where the gastric juices are produced. A large box of Mi-o-na tablets costs but §0 cents at The Lee & Osgood Co., and are guaranteed to cure or money back. When others fafl, Mi-o- na cures.
