Milwaukee, Wisconsin. "I was in a
badly run-down condition and I would
eet wcaK spcns ana
terrible . headacheB.
1 felt so badly last
year that I could not
do any houseclcan
ing. The minute I
would lift or stoop
it soemcd .as if I
was going to fall to
pieces. 1 told a
neighbor how I felt
and she said that
Lydia E. Pinkham's
VeeotableCompound
was Bureiy me right thing lor me.
1 took four bottles then and in the fall
of the year I took three. I had been
treated by a doctor but he gave me an
iron tonic and that did not help me. It
seemed that the tonic did not have in it
what the Vegetable Compound did. That
gave me the strength and ambition I
weeded and I have gained in weight.
This year before I started to clean house
I got four bbttlesof the Vegetable Com
pound and am taking it right along. I
toll all my friends about it and how much
good it does mo. They can notice it be-
cause I have gained in weight.' I weigh
118 now and do all mv work myself
again." Mrs. Ehil 0. feRANDENBunc,

and under his tutorship, rapid pro-
Kress has been madesinco the Inau
guration of the corps.
To properly prepare the : Med ford
citizens who will attend the danco
the corps will march 'down the main
street from the Hotel .Medford to the
Xatatorium, playing specimen selec
tions. It is expected that a largo
crowd will line the streets to witness
the parade, which will move off
promptly at 8 p. m.
A number of special features are
planned for the danco including the
exhibition of the drum corps. This,
together witll special music by Wil
son Wuite's orchestra, and an artis
tic Retting by Tom Swem insure a
danco quite out of the ordinary.
A number of local legionnaires are
canvassing the city with tickets for
the benefit dance and It Is hoped
that they will be-accorded generous
support as the corps is destined to
add much to the muslcnl prestige of
Med ford and Southern pregdn.

Faimnn, who yesterday admitted
Shepherd had offered him 520,000 "to
keep his mouth shut," amplified last
nisht the details of the relations he
said ho had with Shepherd.
Coached lawyer
Ho said that after Shepherd had
taken a two weeks course in his
school and obtained the germs in No
vember, 1923, .he showed him how to
care fur them and keep them alive In
hermltlcally sealed bottle. They
frequently met in downtown hotels,
lie asserted, - and lie would explain to
Hhepherd'how a body might bo Inoc
ulated with the scrms.
About a year apo," said Flaman,
according -to fitate's attorneys, "Shep
herd and myself met several times.
We planned how McCllntock might be
Inoculated with the typhoid geimis
which I had given to Shepherd In the
fall of 1923. I knew Shepherd was
going to give the germs to McClln
tock. ' " '
'It was the understanding that
Shepherd was to wait uritil young
McCllntock hau signed a will leaving
tho money to 8hepherd and then at
the first favorable opportunity he was
to ho given the germs. From time to
time I met Shepherd in hotels in the
loop. AVe talked over our plans, fin
ally the moment arrived. The boy
had made his will, leaving the money
to Shepherd.
"The first dose of germs was given
McCllntock In a glass of cold water.
After that .the dose were repeated
and his condltfon aggravated. .
Certain Death Method
"A week after McCllntock became
111 Shepherd and myself met and he
asked me what to do. I told him to
nd minister a cathartic to the youth
when the latter's stomach was empty.
I explained that It would penotrnte
the Intestines nnd cause almost cer
tain deah. 1 "At the time 'Shepherd
asked me for advice as to how he
could miike the fever more deadly
MCCUntoCk was very ill.
"Shepherd told me he was after the
McCllntock fortune and was going
to get it by getting the boy. I yielded
to his plea after he assured nio that
when he got the fortune in his hands,
he would share wiUi'me
in -Shepherd's' statement he pic
tured himself as standing "on the side
lines watching men and women weave
testimony which' others hope to bind
me as a murderer, and send an lnno
oent man to prison so that something
which rightly belongs in his hands
might be snntchediaway." 1
'"Suppose, Tor;the sako of argument
I did study germs," 'the state m on t
continued, Ml have a .po.fr-ot right us
a practicing attorney to do anything
V wished. But I didn't. I wouldn't
know what to do with typhoid germs
If 1 had them and never hod any In
my possession furthermore.
' "All -there is against me Is n dead
body and a motive. These two facts,
supported by a lot of babble, gossip
and suspicion are Intended :to break
mo down."
