VERDICT OF GUILT!

We begin to think that Theodore Tilton
is a crazy man. He says he cannot. remem-
ber datcn. that he could not, if asked, tell
the ages of his children. and although he
had tried it scores of times he never could
repent the Lord's Prayer correctly. This is
a rather singular statement for a man who
is swearing positively to things that happen. PATRICK DOU'GHEBTY HELD

never seen him havemora than 08.”. Don‘t
know whether he in a man of truth or not.
He was then asked if he knew anything
about the burn on Dongherty‘e arm. He
smiled and said he did. He said it was done
for begging purposes. They were in the
habit of doing it. to excite sympathy. He
said it. was often done. The custom wanin-

tmduced into this :country by a men from
treleud. Had done it himself four years
ago. When a men can‘t get work he must
use his ingenuity to make a living. The
coroner then asked him what story they
told. and to repeat one before the jury. He
said. “I don’t know as you would believe
rue.” The coroner said tell us one of the
stories. “Well." said he. " the stories we
tell depend altogether upon the nature of
the disasters that have occurred. We fix
thorn up to suit the times. There are a good
many traveling with aura arms and legs. One
of them is called ‘Leme Jim.‘ He walks
with his foot out. and shown a bed leg. It
is done by means of an article that we pro-
cure at the drug stores." The coroner then
asked him if he had any sores on him. He
said he had not. but be had had. them. He
was told to pull up his sleeve. He pulled
up the left. one. It was covered with scars.
lie was then told to show the right one. He
said “now. you‘ve got me." and showed a
very sore arm. It extended from the wrist
to the elbow. He said that he had some.
times taken cold when he had‘blietcrcd-blm-
self. and his arm had swollen to the size of
his leg. lie said he had been in jeile great
many times, but never in State‘s prison. He
bed been arrested many times in New York.

of the metropolitan brigade during the war.
Most 0f the policemen had belonged to that
brigade. and be supposed they had let him
ofi' on that account. lie was asked if whis-
key would not produce the sore; lie said
he thought that such as was going in these
days was bad enough for anything. He said
the sores could be healed tip in three or four
days. In short. he confessed he was a pro.
fessional beggar.

Doct. Hill was then sworn. and testified
that ho had assisted at the poet mortom. and
found three bruises on the head. and the
brain contrasted. Found the membrane cov-
ering the spleen torn. and the stomach on
that side infitmcd. llml also the kidney con-
gcsted. and gave it as the opinion of him-

A Wnono Cus'rox Conundrum—It is
quite generally the custom to take strung
liver stimulants for the cure of liver com-
plaint. and both the mineral and vegetable
kingdoms have been diligently searched to
procure the most drastic and poisonous pur-
gatives. in order to produce a powerful ef-
fect upon the liver. and arouse the leuging
and enfeobled organ. This system of treat—
ment is on the same principle as that of giv-
ing a weak and debilitated men large pore
tlona of brandy to enable him to do a certain
amount of work. When the stimulant la
wilhbcld. the organ like the system. gradu-
allv rcla see into a more tor d or slllneiah
am'l wea cued condition than fore What
then is wanted 9 Medicines. that. while they
cause the bile to tiow freely from the liver.
as that organ in toned into action. will not
overwork and thus debilitate it. but will.
when their use is discontinued. leave the
liver strengthened and healthy.
