AWFUL NEURITIS FINALLY ENDED; WALKS 4 MILES Konjola Relieved Me After a Drug Store Shelf of Remedies Failed, Says Inndianapolis Man.

ended my trouble so that I was able to walk 4 miles—the first time in over a yar—and I can back up my statement with a sworn affidavit.” This report about Konjola was made just recently by Mr. Joe Whitney, a citizen of Indianapolis for 40 years, living at 713 S. Missouri St., this city. The statement was issued to the Konjola Man at Hook's drug store. Pennsylvania and Market Sts., Indianapolis, where ho is daily explaining this surprising new medical compound to large crowds „of people. ”1 had my first attack of neuritis In August, 1935,” stated Mr. Whitney,. “The pains dashed through my l<=ft arm and shoulder. They came suddenly, like a bolt of thunder from a clear sky. My whole left side cramped, the muscles of my arms and hands were drawn, and I keeled over. This happened where I was working. Tlie boys yaround me thought I had a stroke. I was sent home, and for one whole year I had these spoils almost eyery day kit was pronounced neuritis. I was W practically helpless, and afraid to leave the house. Sometimes knots would swell and bulge out on my muscles. Many times the agony of pain was so terrific that the neighbors could hear me cry out in misery I give you this information so that you you will know how I suffered. I took so many strong medicines that finally my stomach went bad. I was told to have my teeth removed and that would stop my trouble. I had twerpty-four teenth drawn on Nov. 24, 1925, and still the terriole spells would come. Right now I have a wash-tub full of empty bottles, which shows the amount of medicine I had beep taking. "I decided nothing would help me. Then I found out about Konjola, and I tried this new medicine as a last resort. About 5 days later I could feel a difference. Konjola seemed to be going right to the very seat of my trouble. A few weeks - later I walked 4 miles. The spells haven’t returned on me, and I am free of all pains. My whole family is so happy they don't know w r hat to make of it. I am going back to my old job pretty soon, and I am making this statement, because I am trying to do all I can to help others to health, and I know Konjola will help anyone who takes it. This medicine was a Godsend to me k and it relieved me after a drug store " shelf of remedies failed.” The Konjola Man is at Hook's drug store, Pennsylvania and Market Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the local public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Konjola is sold by every Hook store in Indianapolis and by all leading druggists in the nearby towns throughout this section.—Advertisement.

regarded warnings of others motorists and drove their car into the path of a speeding Wabash passenger train, at the Cass station crossing, near I.ogansport.

HARAKAS CASE STIRS lIP STORM (Continued From going to keep extending the parole untii next January when Nick would be eligible suspension of his imprisonment. The father, liis la*pMrs and' Rev. Henfiinger thought all was arranged for Nicholas to remain out on parole until Friday, when the prison gflards took him back. Board “Victimized” But C. C. York, Indlanapolte, and John C. C. Chaney, Sullivan (Ind.) attorney, other pardon board mebers, knew Harakas was going back'. They said they had urged the Governor to revoke the parole. The board had been victimized, they charged. They spoke of a 150-page record of evidence, taken in investigation of Harakas’ release, which, they said, was turned over to the Governor. Rev. Henninger, says that he is interested in making “good citizens out of bad boys" and that he feels his every act justified. He recommended cutting the term from ten years to five because he knew that the Harakas family would help make a man out of the boy although he knew that Nick had taken part in an attempted escape from the old reformatory at Jeffersonville in which a guard was killed. Chance With Father Because some friends convinced him of the sincerity of Nick’s desire to do right he thought it well to give him a chance to make good and work in the„restaurant owned by the father. Therefore the first thirty-day temporary parole. It was renewed, said Rev. Henninger in spite of the fact that York “refused to have anything to do with it.” After Nick had forsaken the cooling breezes coming off Lake Michigan which are wafted across the walls of the State prison to come to Joil in a hot restaurant in a hot town he called qn Rev. Henninger. $lO in Box of Candy When Nick left Rev. Henninger found a box of candy on a table and in it a delightful letter of thanks in which Nick said that he “was taking the Holy Bible as his guide in life" and enclosed a crisp new $lO bill for the use of the church. Dr. Henninger took the candy and the $lO bill to the Governor’s office, where he dictated a letter returning the gifts to Harakas with an explanation of how impossible it would be to accept them, he said. The elder Harakas said he knew nothing about money being paid to any one. "I paid the boy for his work.” he said, “and he did what he pleased with the money.” Judge Called When called at his home in Sullivan Chaney, who initiated the investigation on the part of the board stated that a number of things entered into the action taken. (The attorney referred to misrepresentation which he refused to amplify; said that people had been comNo More RHEUMATISM IT’S GONE! That awful agony!

plaining and that the whole thing had been sent to the Governor. When asked about a financial consideration. he said: “The financial end of it received little consideration from us in our investigation.” Reginald Sullivan*, attorney and friend of the Harakas family, stated that "he had never been paid a nickel for his services.” Sullivan ( thought the action of the board revoking the parole a “damnable out- 1 rage.” Othniel Hitch, attorney, also active in securing the release of Nicholas said, "Reginald Sullivan and I have of'ered to sign our own names supporting the Governor in his original action in paroling the boy.” Denying that he had made the complaint or started the investigation which led to the return to prison of Nick Harakas, A. F. Miles, general superintendent of the Reformatory at Pendleton, wanted to make his position clear, and stated; “Mr. Chaney and Mr. York asked me for young Harakas’ record and I gave them all I knew, which took in the fact of his part in the murder of Guard Grimm and the robbery of Captain Phelps. I gav© them the record in my official capacity and had io opinion of my own to offer.” j sked what action would follow. Miles said; * “Harakas will be eligible for parole at the expiration. of his minimum term next January. At that time the board of trustees at the State prison will recommend some action. The reformatory board passes on the recommendation and will take his full record into consideration.” Questioned what he thought of the temporary parole. Miles refused to commit himself, but thought that “if men with bad records both inside the institution and out are shown too much clemency it may result in a breaking of the institution morale." And while the whys and wherefores are buffeted about a worn, old mother rocks to and fro crying and bewailing her fate. Father Regrets The father, tall, robust with a face lined with furrows paces back and forth in his place of business while tears course down his cheeks, bemoans the “false duty” as he now calls It, which prompted him to demand of City Judge Walter Pritchard, seven years ago, to “send hiip away for 100 days for stealing a pin.” "Judge Pritchard told me,” he sobs, "that I was doing wrong, that

I was making a mistake—l couldn't see it then —1 do now.” Then straightening his shoulders and squaring himself he wanted to know, “why did Mr. York change h? mind —I didn’t lie to him—l didn't misrepresent. I only know I love my boy and if he is bad they make him bad.” And in the backgrcntnd hovers the figure of Dr. Ed. C. Bachfleld, local dentist, who sat as a temporary member of the board last summer when Judge Chaney and Rev. Henninger were out of the country. Bachfleld, accused by the prosecution in the Stephenson trial with trying to intimidate a witness, wrote a .etter to the pardon board asking that some clemency be shown Harakas. While a visitor at the prison during his brief stay on the board Back-

field had a long cha* with Stephen- j son, now serving a lift sentence for the murder of Madge Oberholtzer of Indianapolis. "There’s no use for the State pardon board to perpetuate any mistakes it may have made previously. Harakas belongs in the prison and should never have been paroled,” said York. "The first story Harakas’ friends told us was that he took a stickpin from a friend in a spirit of play. The fact of the business was, and Harakas admitted it to me, he was caught pawning the pin, a valuable diamond stickpin. Does that look like a spirit of play? They told us he walked away from the State farm, just a few days before the expiration of his sentence, and started to Indianapolis to visit his sick mother. Harakas skipped from the farm and beat it for Terre Haute, then Brazil —so he told me. And then he planned a dash for St. Louis, never intending to come and see his mother. Those are the very things he admitted to me when I questioned him at the State prison prior to the first parole. "With a two to five-year sentence at the old reformatory at Jeffersonville hanging on him, Harakas, friends seem to have drawn a promise from the Navy Department, from which he previously deserted, to let him off by serving out the remainder of his enlistment in the Navy. That’s the way they induced the pardon board to grant him that first commutation. reducing the sentence to one to five years. “Then came the conspiracy to escape • from the reformatory, Harakas playing an intimate part. His friends are misquoting a dead man (the late George A. 11. former superintendent of the reformatory) when they say Nick knew nothing about the .dash for I liberty. We have the dying statement from McCarthy, one of the prisoners, who was killed in the break, that Harakas knew the whole affair in advance. After the others had chucked the dead guard's body in a box. someone heard a. scuffle iind Harakas took a sledge hammer and hit him over the head again—that’s what the dying prisoner’s statement says. How Harakas ever escaped a murder indictment Is more than I know.' “Harakas was the second prisoner to mount the wall when the final dash was made. Yet the\want us to believe he knew nothing about the plan to escape. There are too many gaps in the first story Harakas’ friends told the pardon board, and we just looked into the matter a little closer than ordinary. You’d be surprised at the number of prominent persons who implored us to give the boy a chance. I just can’t understand all of it. Anyway, we’ve had our eyeteeth cut."

Millions of mothers depyd upon this gentle, harmless laxative. It never cramps or overacts. Say • ’California” to your druggist and avoid counterfeits. Insist upon genuine “California Fig Syrup,” which has directions for babies and children of all ages plainly printed on bottle. Advertisement.
