I-'ew more pitiful figures have ap
pealed on the witness stand in the
circuit court than that of 15-year-old
I.oulse Bender, called yesterday to
testify In the case of Alvln Benoit.
charsred with an attempt to murder
the eirl while she slept. A decidedly
pretty child, even with the close
cropped hair of the hospital, her eyes
bore but vajcu Rlcams of intelligence.
Her mind could not reach Into the
space behind agonizing- pain, and the
avrtkcninK In a hospital cot.
Of the days before she was the vic
tim of a fiendish attack by a man
armed with a club, she remembered
r.othing. She did not even remember
ever seeing the man charged with at
tempting to kill her.
IIt father on the witness stand
could identify Henolt no better, for
his only recollection of the night of
the assault was the hearing of
screams from his daughter's bedroom,
a rush to her door and then, uncon
sciousness, as he, himself, was struck
down.
Inxanlty Mjiy Be IMea.
It Is not expected that Benoit will
deny the attack on the witness stand,
lie has confessed to the crime to the
police, and even took inspectors" ovei
the ground. This was only arter
damning circumstantial evidence had
been discovered pointing to him with
to uncertain finger. His defense. It
Vas indicated yesterday, will be in
sanity. He was injured when a child
by a blow on the head, and since has
known Insane moments, it is claimed.
For the prosecution. Earl Bernard,
deputy district attorney, will contend
that Benoit is a dangerous pervert,
that he watched the young girl dis
robe from outside her window for
nights, prior to the attack, and that
the brutal attack was planned care
fully. No motive for the crime has
been offered, and in his confession to
the police Benott declared repeatedly
that he had no idea why he committed
the attack.
Grain Gives First Clew.
The assailant of the young girl
climbed into her bedroom window at
Clay street and without waking
her from her sleep beat her over the
head many times with a olub. He
escaped the same way he entered.
Grains of wheat In the room, on the
window sill and on the ground outside
were the first definite clews on which
Investigators worked. They led to
the home of Benoit nearby. He was
by avocation a grain handler, and
similar grains of wheat were found in
the pockets and cuffs of overalls in
his room. Bender thought his assail
.iit wore overalls. In the basement of
Benoit's home was found a companion
stick of wood to the club the assault
was committed with, and shavings
which had been whittled from the
hanlTe of the club. ,
Benoit worked at Montgomery dock
No. 2. His wife was away, visiting In
llwaco. Wash., at the time of the attack.
The wife and baby girl sat close to
Benoit In the courtroom.

Municipal Judge George Rossman yes
terday morning.
None of the three defendants in the
"eternal triangle" entanglement ap
peared In court. The attorneys for
the defense presented the plea that
the conjugal difficulties of Mr. and
Mrs. Lund had been straightened out
to the- satisfaction of all concerned,
and that ' the "woman In the case,"
Wanda McDonald, was "out of the
triangle."
In continuing the case Indefinitely,
Judge Rossman remarked that since
Mrs. Lund was the woman wronged
and if she did not desire to prosecute
her husband, the best interests of all
concerned would be to drop the matter.

Martha Graham,
Denlshawn, the noted school of
dance near Los Angeles, has developed
many of the leading dancers of today
on the American stage, and the latest,
but far from the least clever, is Mar
tha Graham, who stars this week at
Pantages in "Xochltl," the Aztec dance
drama Ted Shawn presents.
The school was created by Ruth St.
Denis, whose name Is a household one,
and her husband, who is known to the
land of the calcium as Ted Shawn.
Both are widely noted for their danc
ing, and they selected the Californian
glade, where their pupils learn to
dance as they danced in Eden.
Miss Graham is on her first starring
tour and she has been promised met
ropolitan engagements at the conclu
sion of her present tour. v
UNNATURALLY TIRED
Some men and many women feel
tired all the time. This is not natural.
Fatigue following work or great ex
ertion is normal but to be constantly
tWed "indicates a . diseased condition,
usually thin blood. Backache gen
erally accompanies this state- of the
system.
Such sufferers are usually pale but
not necessarily thin. In blonds the
transparency of the skin Is increased;
in brunettes It is decreased and the
complexion becomes muddy. The eye
lids become a greyish blue.
This condition of thin blood, which
doctors call anemia, is a dangerous
one if allowed to progress but with
proper treatment it may be speedily
corrected. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People contain just the ele
ments needed to build up the blood
and restore the! lost color and vitality.
New energy circulates through the
system with the enriched blood, the
heart stops Its alarming palpitating,
color returns to cheeks and lips.
Nothing more 4s needed except sun
light, good air, ptitoper food and rest.
If you do not know exactly what rules
to follow in these matters write today
to the Dr. wmta-ms Medicine Co.
Schenectady, N. for the free book.

Says Tanlac Built Him Up So
His Work Never Tires
Him Now.
"I don't believe that anybody in
Portland feels any better than I do
now, but it's only due to Tanlac that
I can make this statement." said I. A.
Russell of 138 East Thirty-ninth
street, Portland. Or., well-known in
spector of stations for the Portland
Railway, Light & Power company.
'I wa in a terribly weakened, run
down condition and my appetite was
so poor that I ate -little more than
enough to keep me alive. I had a
tired wornout feeling all the time
and could scarcely hold up under the
least little exertion. I. didn't have
ambition or energy enough to even
want to walk around and I simply
felt miserable nearly all the time.
"One day I was talking with a
friend about my condition and he tol4
me about the remarkable good Tanlac
had done him and advised me to try
it. Well, I just want to say right
here that the medicine ha-s proved
nothing less than astonishing in my
case and eince taking three bottles
I'm feeling altogether like a different
person. I have an excellent appetite
and have so completely regained my
strength, that, although I'm on my
feet most of the day and have to
walk eight or ten miles, it does not
tire me out at all. I certainly am
thankful to T.anlac for putting me
in such fine health and I'm always
glad to tell others about It."
