HARRISON COMPANY Why Should I Use Cuticura Soap? "There is nothing the matter with my skin, and I thought Cuticura'Soap was only for skin troubles." True, it ss for skin troubles, but its great mission is to prevent skin troubles. For more than a generation its deli- cate emollient and prophylactic properties have rendered it the standard for this purpose, while its extreme purity and refresling fragrance give to it all the advan. tages of the best of toilet soaps. It is also invaluable in keeping the hands soft and white, the hai' live and glossy, and the scalp {ree from dandruff and irritation. While its first cost is a few cents more than that of ordinary toilet soaps, it is prepared with such care and of such materials, that it wears toa wafer, often outlasting several cakes of other soap, and making its use, in practice, most econom- tcal. Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, but the truth of these claims may be demonstrated without cost by sending to "Cuticura," Dept. 7M, Boston, U, S.

When the court opened af the court house, at o clock, on Wednesday morning, and jury returned a "true bill" in Se seven criminal cases, referred to them by J Madden, on Tuesday afternoon, Five cases had to do with ihe recent escape of the five desperate prisoners from the penitentiaryzgWal- ter Collins, another conviet; ged with stabbing a fellow conpfet, Be George' Clough, stage drfer, Werth Road, charged with hawfng poisoned three horses, owned by FErnest Bab- cock, another stage driver, running on the Perth load, from Stoness' Uor- ners to hingston. Following are - the charges against the convicts who figured in the sensa- tional escape : Frank Jones 'and Vincent MeNeil must stand trial on a charge of es cape and wounding. » Arthur Bonnar and George Brown, escape, bodily harm and assaulting an officer, Heury Kelly, harm. ' : A very large - crowd was preset when the court opened, as it was ex- pected that the cade agalnst the don: viets would be taken up first. How- ever, the crowd was given a disap- pointment, the case of George Clough being taken up first. The following petit jury was sworn in for the Clough case : Henry Knapp, Pittsburg township; Maitland Lake, Portland township; William McAdoo, jr., Kingston town- ship; Thomas Shannon, Storrington township; G. 0. Seale, Pittsburg town- ship; Robert J, Vair, Kingston town- ship; Charles E. Whitcomb, city; An- thony Tryon, city; John MoKegney, Kingston township; James J. Price, Olden; Robert J. Snowden, cily; 1. J. Howe, Hinchinbrooke, The charge against Clough was that on Feb. 19th, 1912, he did unlawfully destroy, by poisoning, three horses, belonging to Ernest Babcock. He pleaded "'not guilty." J. L. Whiting, crown attorney, con- ducted the prosecution; atthe opening reviewing the case to the jury, and giving facts brought out at the pre- liminary hearing of the case. D. M. Mcintyre, K.C., appeared for the accused. Ernest Babcock was the first wit ness and he told about having found his horses in econvalsions, and about their death, the same story he told before Justice of the Peace George | Hunter. He was examined by Mr. Whiting. He told about having the feed box examined, and strychnine be- ing found. Mr. Molntyve, in his cross-examina- jion, wanted to know when the wit- ness had first suspected Clough of hav- ing poisoned the horses. 2 I heard that he had chased poison." was the reply. Witness, on being further question- ed, said that he bad suspected, Clough as soon as he found that strychnine had been placed in the feed box." 8. Babcock, father jof Ernest Bab- cock, gave evidence, * pnd told about having watered the horses on the night in question, and afterwards feeding them oats and hay. He af- terzards locked the stable door and went into the house. The animals were all right when he left them. Three quarters of an hour later, when he returned to the bam, the horses were in convulsions. His honor asked the witness. the reason for his having suspected that the horses had the poison.

Boyd, called, said he was a government detective. In February last he had, in company with County Uonstable Robert Smith, seen Clough. Witness asked Clough about purchas- ing strychnine. Clough told witness that he had purchased strychnine on two occasions, the first time, a little over a year ago, when he purchased it for Henry Clough, of Inverary, and ed it over to him. The sewond purchase the accused had made was a short time before the horses weré poisoned. This had besn purchased to kill rats, but had bess returned to the drug Btore. Witness said he was sure of 18s statement, as he had ask- ed Clough about ft three or four times. County Constable Robert Smith cor- roborated the evidence of the detec: tive, Dr. A. P.
