SPEEDY JUSTICE IS PROMISED IN SCHNEIDER CASE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE OXI) lice and may clear the way, police believe, to the solving of several other fiendish crimes, one the exhuming and desecration, in Flint, several years ago. "A kinder, Jwtter man 1 had never known," said Robertson, the brother-in-law. "He never smoked, drunk, swore or was given to anger. Ho must be insane." Mrs. Hotelling does not know what to think.* "I can feel nothing but sorrow for him," she said as she sat in tho parlor of the pretty little bungalow home Hotelling had built himself. "Was he crazy? He must have been," she continued. She paused as if to reflect, then asked, "But if he were insane, why did ho return to F.int after the awful act, appearing and behaving normally in every way?" “You noticed nothing queer in his actions the night of the day of the slaying?" Mrs. IWelling was asked,. She flashed: “N\ ‘f I had I should have made him explain. Adolph was a man of set habits. He rarely was away* from heme. He was never cross. He was always an indulgent I lather and husband. Had he acted I strangely, I should have known it. I cannot understand, oh, I cannot understand—but he would be better off dead. They vo takeu him away from ■ Flint, I hear, to be safe from harm. | Was it wise? I wonder.” ADD SPEEDY JUSTICE s Talked Much About Hickman Owosso, Mich., Jan 17—(UP)—William Edward Hickman's murder of Marion Parker in Los Angeles was one of the favorite topics of Adolph Hotelling, confessed slayer of Dorothy Schneider, until be transferred interest to the Michigan crime, relatives and neighbors of the accused man said today.

"She didn't want to come, but I took her in the car. She pleaded with me to let her go home. She said she would tell her mother and father on me if I didn't let her go. "I drove down the Stanley road and then down a mud road. She was cry- | ing. I had never been down that road , before. 1 "I stopped file ear and took her in my arms and lifted her over the fence She\was still crying. She kept telling me that she would have her parents after me. “T got her down to the creek she was still crying and pleading with me to let her go home. "I don't know why I did it.

ANOTHER SLEEPLESS NIGHT You go to tied dog-tired but still no deep, no real rest. Morning finds you a rag. One of the first effects of a poisoned system is "nerves”— restless, sleepless nights. 'Hie whole tiling is traceable to eur modern habits of life which put too great a burden on our vital organs, especially the liver. The liver becoming "dead” or sluggish fails to remove the toxic poisons from the blood, which then poisons the system, weakening stomach, kidneys and heart, causing high blood pressure and undermining health in general. It is universally recognized that occasionally the liver needs a little help. Nothing is better for this, say medical men, than ox gall. Ox gall is a great natural stimulant for the human liver, promoting its normal active functioning so essential to real health. Dioxol tablets are genuine ox ga’l in dainty and tasteless form, each tablet representing KJ drops of pure ox gall. To be sure of getting the genuine o:: gall, l>c sure of getting Dioxol. They cost less than 2c each at good druggists, and a few bring new days.
