fiays before the crime, "on a bust* ness trip to Chicago and Detroit.’’ "We will show that he was on a business trip, and that he communicated with relatives while he was sone," Holmes said. Holmes also charged that prosecutors will not produce insurance papers said by authorities to have been found at the side of the blazing sedan. Witnesses Are Excluded When presentation of evidence began, Baker Gwore twenty-five state's witnesses, and at Holmes’ request, excluded witnesses from the coutroom. Schroeder’s father, Ernest Schroeder, Clarion, la., was permitted to remain at his son’s side. Mrs. Leah Bchroeder, ths" defendant’s 'vife; his two sons, his mother and other relatives also were excluded. Over the week-end, the alleged slayer will undergo an examination for sanity at the psychopathic ward at city hospital. Baker Wednesday appointed two alienists, on petition of Wilson and Floyd Mattice, chief deputy. The trial will reopen Monday morn in. Schroeder, in a. special plea, claims insanity at the time of the alleged crime. The plea does not constitute an admission to the deed, Ira M. Holmes, his attorney declared. The Alabaman contends that his unknown passenger died when his neck was broken in an accident twenty-five miles west of Terre Haute, and that he (Schroeder) returned to Indianapolis in a panic and set his auto and its cargo afire. Nearly three weeks later, Schroeder was captured in a weed patch near his Mobile home, the quarry of a nation-wide hunt. Women Wage Battle An excitable crowd of women, awaiting admittance to the courtroom Thursday afternoon, staged a fight for standing room near the entrance. Screams of two women echoed through the courthouse as purses were resorted to by the participants as cudgels. Police were summoned, but before their arrival the crowd was calmed. Names of participants were not learned. After adjournment Thursday Schroeder spent almost an hour in the courtroom talking with relatives. They are his wife; two sons, Harold Herbert, Jr., 11, and Ernest, 9; his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Schroeder of Clarion, la.; four sister and a brother. Jurors in the case are: Albert Shaw, Pike township, farmer: Floyd Graham, 2842 North Illinois street, contractor; A. H. Skinner, 910 East Thirty-eighth street, manufacturer; Morris E. George, 631 North La Salle, bank clerk; William H. Joyce, 1420 Woodlawn avenue, real estate dealer; Edward W. Pierson, Pike township, farmer; Omer Ford, 1267 Hiatt street, carpenter; Harry Ayers, Mars Hill, mechanic; Earl Dillinger, 1966 Winter avenue, grocer; Charles W. Reed, New Augusta, farmer; William I. Campbell, 324 West Maple road, manufacturer, and Virgil McClain, 906 North Graham avenue, steamfitter.

A cold does 3 things "Pape's" stops them all '

A cold always affects you in at least three ways. Air passages are inflamed and irritated. Perspiration is checked. Bowels are clogged with acid wastes from the mucous discharge. So doctors say you must do three things to be rid of a cold. Pape’s Cold Compound does all three! It reduces inflammation and swelling of the mucous membrane; it induces perspiration; opens the

bowels. Chew one of these pleasant tablets and see how quickly nasal discharge stops; head clears; breathing becomes easy. Bee how that achy, feverish, weak feeling disappears. And “Pape’s” doesn't stop with killing cold germs. It activates bowels and removes germs and acid wastes from the system. All drug stores—3sc. Just remember “Pape’s ” —Advertisement.
