The defence attempted to show by this witness (hat the telephone in the Llllle home waa not in working condition that morning and that It waa necessary' to go to Mr. Hall's livery barn to call Dr. Beede.

Estella Dawson, who was boarding at the Llllle home at the time of , the murder, said: "Julia Flcke and 1 slept In tho northwest bedroom upstairs oa the night of uctober 23. I saw Mr. Llllle lock the aiicnen aoor just before we all went up stairs to bed." . This is the door the defense maintains was open on the morning of tie murder. "On the morning of October .24 I heard noise, which partly woke me up, and heard Mra. Llllle scream. She said: 'Oh, girls, get up quick; someone has been fn our room and ahot at us.' From ths sound of her voice I thought she was In the hall, as we were getting up. I do not know where Mrs. Llllle was, but think she wss downstairs. After we four girls got up we went to the door and looked at Mr. Llllle. Mra.f Llllle waa not there. We went downstairs and Mrs. Llllle was stand ing at the telephone. I did not bear any. one say anything about help, but one of the girls suggested that we go to Dr. Stew art's. We went to Bert Hall's first, and Edna went to Dr. Stewart's. She- then came back to Hall's and we all went In. Mrs. Hall dressed and we all went back to Mr. Llllle's. The door leading from the hall Into- the bedroom occupied by Mae and Edna waa alwaya kept open by a book lying against It. On the morning of the murder It waa shut. It would swing shut If there was not something agatnat it. Do not remember If the door waa shut the night before or not."

Common sense would suggest that If one wishes to become fleshy and plump It can only results from the food we es and di gest, and that food ahousl ha ilhnminxii. or flesh-forming food, like eggs, beefsteak v. .... ... .aor wurua, tne aina or food that make flesh are the fooda which form the greater part of our dally bills of fare. But the trouble It that while we eat enough, and generally too much, the stom ach, from abuse and overwork, doea not properly digest and assimilate It. which la the reason so many people remain thin and unaerweigm; the digestive organs do not completely digest the flesh-forming beer steak and eggs and similar wholesome food. There are thousands of such, who are real,y confirmed dyspeptics, although they may have no partHular pain or Incon venience from, their atomachi. If auch persons weuld lay their prejudices aside and make a regular practice of taking after each meal one or two of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, the food would bs quickly and thoroughly digested, because these tablets contain the natural- peptones? and diastase which every weak stomach lacka, and by aupplylng this wsnt ths stomach Is soon enabled to regain Ita natural tone and vigor. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every form of flesh-fcrmlng food, meat, egga, bread and potatoes, and thla la the reason they so quUkly build up. strengthen and lnvlyorate thin, dyspeptic men, women and children. Invalids and children, even the most deli cate, use them with marked bmeflt. as they contain no strong, irritating drugt. no cathartic nor any harmful Ingredient. . , Stuart's Dyspepsia Tsblets is the most uccesaful and widely known of any rem edy for stomach trvJtlea. beue It Is the most reasonable and s':K-n'IBc of modern medicines. Stuart's Dya.-tpsls Tsb'ets are Bold bv every druggist to. ths Vnlted States std Canada, aa well as In Crest Brttsln, at CO cents for complete treatment. Nothing further la required to core any atomach trouble or to make thin, nerviua dyspeptic people strong, plump sod wslL the night before the shorting. Mr. Llllle went first We all followed. N I heard the first shot. This woke ma up. I then heard the second ahot. I heard nothing between, the two shots. After the second shot I heard Mrs. ll!le aoream and aay: 'Oh!' From the sound of her voice she waa prob ably in the hall. Us girls got up and went Iqtoothe 'wall. .Mae went to the door of Mr. Llllle's room. Mrs. Llllle was not there. Us girls went downstairs and Into the dining room and went over to Bert Hall'e." The cross-examination of the laat two witnesses only elicited the fact that there waa no carpet on the staira. Child oa tho Staad. Edna, the 12-year-old daughter, was the next witness. he said: "Harvey Llllle was my father. On the night of October 23 I slept with Mae Llllle in the, north east bedroom. 'Between S and ('o'clock the next morning I heard mamma scresm. I think she said there was a man la their room and that he had fired a ahot. I went 1 1 that room add tried to wake papa up." I took hold of his ear and shook him. I did not shake him very hard. I took hold of his right ear and called to him. Mamma was not In the room. Someone came to the door with a light. I do not know who it was. 1 was standing by the bed. The next time I saw mamma I think was whn we started downstairs. When we went downstairs mamma was at the telephone."
