AUBURN JURORS ACQUIT HIMMEL Itinerant Farm Hand Acquitted Os Murdering Woman Auburn, Ind., Nov. 17. —|(U.R> A jury of eight men and four women early this morning brought In n verdict of'"acquit tai for Otto Himmel, itinerant farm hand accused of murder. Himmel laughed when he heard the verdict and thanked each member of the jury personally. The jury required over twelve hours to reach its decision. Himmel was returned to jail for the night but will be released a free man as soon as the proper papers have been signed. Himmel was accused of beating to death a 77-year-old woman. Miss Sarah Murphy, on a farm near Comma, lnd„ on January 25, 1934. He was arrested in a Detroit hospital last September ending a search begun a few days after the crime. On the stand, Himmel denied the state's contention that he killed Miss Murphy. He was not, he said, even near Comma or DeKalk county on the day of the crime. Mrs Lydia Maxwell, now 92. beaten by the same killer, identified Himmel and said that the man who struck her with a piece of cord wood and later robbed her purse of $1.40 to compensate him for his crime was left handed. Defense Attorney Capt. H. C. Springer used the testimony of Sheriff Herbert Grimm to show that Himmel had used his right hand to the exclusion of his left since his arrest. Although indicted on a charge of first degree murder, Judge WilIndianapolis today. Mrs. G. F. Eichhorn and Mrs. Fay Mutschler were visitors in Fort Wayne yesterday. Mrs. Clarence Hiiyard.

There’s a Good Reason You’re Constipated! When there’s something wrong with you, the first rule is: get at the cause. If you are constipated, | don’t fiddle around with makeshift remedies. Find out what’s giving you the trouble! Chances are it’s simple if you eat only what most people do: meat, bread, potatoes. It's likely you don't get enough "bulk." And “bulk" doesn't mean a lot of food. It’s a kind of food that isn t consumed in the body,but leaves a soft “bulky" mass in the intestines and helps a bowel movement.
