Mrs. Frances Stafford, of 243 E. 114th St., N.Y. City, adds her tes- timony to the hundreds of thou- sands on Mrs. Pinkbam’s files. When Lydia E. Pinkham’s Reme- dies were first introduced skeptics all over the country frowned upon their curative claims, but as year after year has rolled by and the little group of women who had been cured by the new discovery has gince grown into a vast army of hundreds of thousands, doubts and skepticisms have been s“e{)t away as by a mighty flood, until to-day the great good that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and her other medicines are doing among the women of America is attracting the attention of many of our leading scientists, physicians and thinking peofle % Merit alone could win such fame; wise, therefore, is the woman who for a cure relies upon Lydia E.

Improved Machinery for This Purpose Will Be Added to Keswick Plant. —_—— In company with Chemist Thomas Price of this city, Assistant United States Dis. trict Attorney E. J. Banning left last eve- ning for a visit to the Mountain Copper Company’s plant at Keswick. The pur- pose of the visit is to enable Messrs Ban- ning and Price to collect data with ref- erence to the destruction of forest growth in the vicinity by the fumes from the smokestacks of the works. Mr. Price has been engaged as a witness for the Govern- ment in the trial of the suit of the Govern- ment against the Mountain Copper Com- pany (Limited), to enjoin it from further destruction of vegetation there. He will testify that certain improved machinery has been introduced which will convert the fumes into sulphuric acid, which will be saved and utflized. This improvement will cost from $60,- 000 to $70,000. As the plant is valued at several millions and as tite sulphuric acid will be a profitable by-product Mr. Price thinks that it will be economy to intro- duce the improvement. \The pending liti- gation has for its object the perpetual in- junction of the copper company from al- lowing the fumes of its works to escape. The case will be on trial October 19, Removal Notice. The John M. Klein Electrical Works an- nounce removal from No. 421 Montgomery street to No. 107 Battery street.

POISON BOUGHT BY MRS, SUTTON Sensational Evidence Is Given in Trial of Women. Testimony in Murder Case Produces a Wrangle in Court. Strong links in the chain of evidence against Mrs. Martha E. Bowers and her sister, Mrs, Zylpha C. Sutton, charged with the murder of the former's husband, Martin L. Bowers, were presented yes- terday in the hearing of testimony before Police Judge Cabaniss. Positive proof was produced that the death of Bowers was due to arsenic, and the principal witness of the day, Drug Clerk J. C. Peterson, furnished the evi- dence showing that Mrs. Sutton presented | a forged prescription to him and obtained | an ounce of arsenic some days previous | to the death of Bowers. The attorneys for the defense made an effort to exclude the evidence of Peterson | and their objections were presented with | rapidity. Every question asked of Peter-| son by the prosecuting attorneys was quickly objected to by the defense, but | Judge abaniss was firm and ruled that | the witness should be allowed to give hhl evidence, The accused women appeared in cr)url] dressed in black and wore heavy seal- skin coats and black veils. The damag- ing testimony against them was listened | to without apparent emotion, and to all| intents the accused women might ha\el been ordinary spectators. | AUTOPSY SURGEON TESTIFIES. Autopsy Surgeon Bacigalupi was the first witness called yesterday, and he de- tailed the holding of an autopsy on the body of Martin L. Bowers oh August 2 | last. The surgeon .described the condi- tion of the organs of the body and told how he found the liver and Kkidneys | affected by fatty degeneration. He had removed the stomach and a portion of | the brain for analytical examination by Professors Green anu Morgan. The wit- ness identified his report of the autopsy, which stated the cause of death to be | due mainly to fatty degeneration of the kidneys. The autopsy surgeon further testified that the fatty degeneration of the kid- neys could have been caused .y the ad- | ministration .of -arsenic, -and- in-reply to a question by the defense said that the same conditions might arise from other | causes. Mrs. Harry Bower~, sister-in-law of the deceased man, was called to the witness stand and testified that she visited Ma tin L. Bowers from August 16 to the day of his death at the German Hospital on August 24. She told of the weak condition of Bow- ers and how he suffered from constant | vomiting spells and was unable to move | his limbs. The witness further testified that during the time she was at the res dence of her brother-in-law his medicine was given to him by his wire, with the | exception of one occasion, when Mrs. | Martha Bowers asked the witness to give | the sick man one of the pills prescribed by the doctor. MOURNING DRESS WAS READY. | The sister-in-law of the deceased then | testified that after Bowers died at the German Hospital she accompanied Mrs. Martha Bowers to the residence of Mrs, Sutton, who was informed that Bowers | was dead. Mrs. Sutton then asked Mrs. Martha Bowers to try on her mourning dress and the accused woman did so. | From the residence of Mrs. Sutton the witness had gone with Mrs. Martha Bow- | ers to a saloon on Taylor street, where the accused woman had called on Wi liam O'Leary and informed him of her husband’s death. | “M Martha Bowers,” said the wit- ness, “told O'Leary to go to her hnu:n. and make the bed and clean the lamps | and that she dtwlred him to stay at the| house with her.” Attorney Drury, for the defense, sought | to elicit from the Witness that she had | suggested to Mrs. Martha Bowers and | to Mrs. Sutton that it would be as well for Mrs, Martha Bowers to buy a mourn- ing dress, as Martin Bowers was likely ADVERTISEMENTS. marks woven in. colored of them.
