But his | confidence receivea a rude shock, how- ever, on the court's holding him to answer to the Superior Court and fix- ing his bail at $5000. In default Holly was committed to the custody of the Sherifr. . When Holly appeareg in court his face was wreathed in smiles and as the case proceeded he several times ex- changed glances with the girl whom he had induced to leave her home and elope with him. Mrs. Cunningham wa: the first witness called and she testi- fled that her daughter was but 17 vears of age. The mother said that she had never consented to her daugh- ter's, leaving home with Holly. She also ‘testified that she discovered im- mediately after her daughter's flight that a number of valuable articles of jewelry had been taken from a safe deposit box at the Central Bank. Miss Cunningham was the next wit- ness called by the prosecution and al- though she endeavored to shield the defendant, Deputy District Attorney Walsh compelled her to give damag- ing testimony against the accused. Miss Cunningham testified that she had given Holly practically all the money that he had spent on their trip to Los Angeles and that in addition she had given him money to buy a new sult of clothes. It also developed dur- ing the examination of the witness that the accused had not returned any money to the.girl, but had kept every cent given to him except that expended in paying bills. Miss Cunningham admitted that ah‘ had taken three diamond rings and diamond pin from her mother's safe deposit box and that she sold two of the rings to local jewelers to secure money for the flight of herself and Holly from this city. In answer to the questions of Attorney Walsh she stated that Holly had signed the names of Howard on the steamer ticket and had registered under an assumed name at the hotel where they stayed in San Francisco after leaving this city. She said that during the entire trip they had passed as husband and wife. A searching cross-examination of the witness by Attorney W. H. O'Brien, who Is conducting the defense, failed to bring out anything in favor of the accused. who was then held for trial in the Superior Court. It Takes Nerve Everything depends upon your nerves. It is nerve force that causes the brain to direct the motion of your bedy; it is nerve force that causes your heart to puisate, and send the blood through your veins; it is nerve force that causes your stomach to digest food, your kidneys to filter the biocod, and the liver to secrete bile. In fact, nerve force is the wer that runs your body, so if you feel worn-out, irritable, nervous, canmot sleep, or eat well, have pain or misery anywhere, your nerves are wezk, and your system run- down. To restore this vitality take Dr. Miles’ Nervine which will strengthen and build up the nerves. You cannot be healthy without st nerves.
