Robert Stnlff, alleged leader of the men, was the happiest of the four. He showed some signs of weakening tills morning, but lie looks on the affair as just another incident ill a colorful life. J. Phillip Chamberlin, Columbia City, had little to say. He appeared cleanly shaved and was in fuirly good spirits, hut he gave the appearance of being worried and scared. The one peculiar circumstance in the case is that all four men never have been arrested before and none has a criminal record. They have all worked more or less steadily during the last few years and the associates in various northern Indiana towns and cities are average citizens. That they were well organized ia evidenced by the various methods which they are said to have used in their work. All four use good English and Chamberlin anil Gaither appear to have had considerable education.

PEARL COOK “Konjola routed neuritis and all my other troubles, after I had suffered for years,” said Mrs. Pearl Cook 1837 Erie avenue, Longansport, Indiana. “For several years 1 had been troubled with my kidneys. 1 had terrible pains in my back and I was forced to rise two or three times every night. Then tlie neuritis set in and affected my left arm. This caused severe pain, making it hard to do my housework. Last, my stomach became disordered ami brought on pains of indigestion and considerable gas bloating. “I was urged to try Konjola, it might do some good. It certainly did. My stomach was set right first and in a few days the neuritis began to disappear. The pains left my. arms and the rest of my body. My kidneys have been strengthened and now I enjoy sound and peaceful sleep every night. Konjola is rightly called the master medicine and 1 recommend it as only a person who had my amazing, experience can.” Konjola is sold in Decatur, Ind., at. Smith, Yager & Falk’s drug store and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section.
