Suffered Eight Years with
Rheumatism — Tanlac
Overcomes His Troubles
Entirely, He Says
"Ir. It’» a fact this time last
month I was one of the sickest men
yon ever saw," said Frank Jinks, who
lives on the Martin Hill pike, South
Knoxville, Tenn., and today I feel as
nfe"Wl<1 •tronc “ 1 eTer fBlt 'n ray
“I have been sufTerlnr from kldnev
troubles for the past eight years, and
the pains In my back at times would
almost kill me. When I had these
spells I would have to quit work. I
have lost as high as three weeks at
a time. I also suffered a great deal
with rheumatism. About six weeks
ago 1 had It so bad I couldn’t walk
without crutches. My feet were so
swollen I couldn’t even put on my
ahoea My suffering was terrible, and
once or twice it got so bad I cried.
"The doctor seemed to be unable
to give me relief and his medicine
seemed to tear my stomach to pieces.
You do not have to take my word
for what I am telling you. There are
twenty people who knew of my con
dition who will tell you the same
thing. My case has been the talk of
the neighborhood and everybody is
praising the medicine.
/‘Tanlac has done me so much good
1 hardly know how to praise it. Only
two weeks after I began taking it I
was able to lay my crutches aside
and I can now walk as good as any
body. Only a few days ago I walked
from the race track to the South
Knoxville Medicine Company, a dist
ance of about four miles. 1 am now
back at work again and can go about
as good as anybody. It has not only
cured my back and rheumatism, but I
feel absolutely well In every way. 1
simply can't get enough to eat and
everything seems to agree with me.
My strength has returned also and I
have gained ten pounds In weight.
When I go to bed at night I sleep
like a child, something I haven't done
for months.
"If anyone doubts what you tell
them about my case, Juet tell them
to call new phone 1923B and 1 will
be more than glad to tell them about
the wonderful benefit I have received
from it. Tanlac Is worth Its weight
In gold and 1 will always feel grate
ful for what It has done for me."
Tanlac Is sold in Montgomery ex

Accused Man Says
He’s Ready to Tell Whole
Truth of Crime That
Is Shrouded in Mystery
(CtitlMwi From Page On)
considerable time will be neces
sary to find twelve men who are
willing to be jurymen and against
whom there are no objections by
either side. One of the regular
Jurors today asked to be excused
because be would not convict on
circumstantial evidence.
Militia Net Wanted.
M. B. Grace of Birmingham, at
torney for l’ercy Brookii, arrived
today to await the appearance of
his client, who Is charged with
complicity In the Lawler murder.
Mr. Grace denied newspaper re
ports that he had asked for State
militia to be sent to guard against
a possible outbreak In Huntsville.
He said the reports were based on
a joking remark that he made to
Solicitor Frit* Thompson In Bir
mingham several days ago.
l«ite today the special grand
Jury which has been In session
since November 13, took a recess
and will hold no more sessions un
til after the Overton trial when It
will resume work. .The grand Jury
will be'held. It Is stated, to meet
any possible demand for new in
dictments In. the Lawler murder.
Interest Is keyed up to a high
pitch not only .because of the
prominence of tne murdered man
and the prisoner, who Is accused
of being his slayer, but because,
although many columns have been
printed In the newspapers specu
lating upon the tragedy, the true
story has never been allowed to
reach the public. Even the evi
dence that witnesses gave before
the grand Jury which indicted
Overton and his associates has
not been allowed to leak out.
The evidence Is expected to bo
of intense and perhaps dramatlo
Interest. Overton, the accused,
has never made a statement, but
has promised to give the whole
truth when placed on the witness
stand. Few men are able to tell
more of the condition Into which
Madison County politics had
drifted than he. It Is the gen
eral belief that rottenness In
politics led up to the tragedy,
but the circumstances surrpund
ing the actual event Itself are
known to very few people.
The trial will not require many
days after the Jufy Is struck.
That will be the most tedious
thing connected with the trial.
A venire of one hundred men has
been summoned and It Is believed
that In the entire county men who
have not disqualified themselves
from serving on the jury by ex
pressing an opinion of the case,
or who have not made up their
minds as to the guilt or Inno
cence of the accused, or are relat
ed to either the Lawler or Over
ton families will be exceedingly
hard to And. The actual hearing
of evidence will probably require
only a comparatively short time.
The State will probably not have
more than a doxen witnesses and
Overton not that many.
Attorneys On both sides are
prepared for a memorable -legal
struggle, i
Sheriff John C. Lowe has the
situation well In hand and has
taken elaborate precautionary
measures against any demonstra
tion by either Lawler or Overton
partisans. He has a large number
of special deputies In addition to
his already large regular force
and during the trial they will be
so placed that any disorder can
be quelled Instantly. No one deny
that feeling has been aroused to
a high pitch, but any demonstra- '
tion In or near the court house
during the trial will be perilous
to the offender.
Judge B. M. Miller, of the
Fourth Judicial District of Ala
bama will be the presiding Judge,
relieving Judge Robert C. Brick- <
ell of Huntsville, who requested
the Chief Justice of the Alabama \
Supreme Court to designate some ;
other Judge to try the case.
Review Old Cases.
The special grand Jury now at
work here is believed to have re
viewed every case of Interest that
has occurred In Madison County ]
during the last two years to get at ,
the bottom of all criminal activi
ties. Some of the indictments are
believed to go back as far as the
lynching of a negro at Hobbs’
Island several years ago.
History of Crime.
The finding of the body of Pro- ,
bate Judge \V. T. Lawler In the
Tenneiaee River near. Whltesburg
Ferry, on the morning of June
17, 1916, was followed by the sui
cides In the next week of Shelby
Pleasants, a Huntsville attorney,
and Robert Phillips, Sheriff of
Madison County, who. It Is alleged, 1
killed themselves because they
were suspected In connection with
the Lawler killing.
)n May preceding the murder.
Judge Lawler was elected Probate
Judge over David D. Overton ,
and Sac Darke, In what was one
of the bitterest political cam- (
palgns In this section of the State. ,
The election was contested, and ,
an investigation Into alleged vio
lations of the election laws was
ordered. A special grand Jury
was about to report the day the J
body of Judge Lawler was found.
Judge Lawler disappeared from
Huntsville the night of June 14.
He left his wife at a Chautauqua
meeting, telling her he was go
ing to "meet a man" down town.
It was alleged he received a note
from some one to meet him at
the court house. When he
parted from his wife this was the
last time he was seen alive. The ,
first Intimation friends of the Jur
ist had of his disapearance was ,
the next day when his automo- ,
bile wae found in front of the ,
court house. \
Anonymous Note. ,
Two days before the body was ,
found Sheriff Phillips received An |
anonymous note saying "soir^- '
thing" could be found in the t
slough of the river near Whites- j
burg Ferry The body was found |
weighted down in the slough with j
heavy railroad Irons tied with (
baling wire. Bullet wounds were (
found In the chest and the skull
had been crushed with some blunt j
instrument. ,
The news of the murder spread
simultaneously with the report i
thatIDavid D. Overton had dlsap- <
peared. and crowds of men and ,
young boys gathered about the
streets of Huntsvlle, and hints of
lynching were circulated. The t
fear of disorder grew to such <
proportions that the State militia ,
was ordered here, and two coin- <
panies of guardsmen remained on ,
duty for about a week.

Finds Way of Defeating
High Cost of Living in.
Fuel Bill
A lunnlton m to the aolu.tion of
the coal problem has recently been
made, which might assist In overcom
ing the difficulty occasioned by the- car
shortage and the high cost of coal,
which Is said to prevail at the mined
of the Birmingham district.
It Is learned from the office of Unit
ed States Engineer Sturdevant that
coal for use on the government boats
has been obtained from Tuscaloosa,
transported by water on barges via the
Alabama, Warrior and Tombtgbee riv
ers. It Is stated that the railroads,
owing to the car shortage, have re
fused to fill, and cancelled order% for
coal in large lots, and that river
transportation was resorted to and
proved much cheaper, both In the cost
of the coal and of transportation.
Brlag Big Cargo.
It Is stated that the government
barges have made one trip to Tusca
looRa for coal, bringing a cargo of COO
tons. The cost of the coal loaded on
board the barges at Tuscaloosa la giv
en at |2.SO a ton. The cost of trans
portation ki placed at 50 cents a ton,
making a total of fS per ton delivered
here. The coal In question Is steamer
coal, quick burning, and of course not
equal In quality to the best grades of
hearth coal: but a comparison of the
cost of coal from the Tuscaloosa dla
trlst with that from Birmingham, as
furnished from the engineer's office,
reveal a surprising dlecrepency In val
ue. A ton of the same kind of coal
is was procured from Tuscaloosa
f. o. b. barges at 12.60 a ton, coots.
It Is stated, $5.50 a ton at Birming
ham, f. o. b. care.
Tea Oalr SS. *
The freight cost by rail from Birm
ingham to this city Is given at $1 a
ton. making a total cost of 16.60 a ton
laid down here by rail from Birming
ham. against $1 a ton for the same
trade coal from Tuscaloosa by river
transportation. In addition to the dif
ference In coat. It Is stated that the
present railroad condition makes the
■ecelpt of coal from the Birmingham
llstrlct a matter of difficulty.
Pleasants was found In his office.
He had killed himself with a
pistol, and left a note saying he
could "stand the strain no long
er." Three days later Sheriff
Phillips killed himself by shoot
ing in a bedroom in the city Jail.
In a note to his wife and chil
dren, the officer stated he “could
not stand the suspicion” any
longer. It Is alleged the sheriff
had been severely censured and
was accused of allowing Overton
to escape.
Mss Hunt Begins.
After the three tragedies, search
for the missing Overton was com
menced, and the man-hunt was
carried Into practically every
Southern State and parts of Can
ada.
In the meantime, C. M. Nalls,
who succeeded Overton as circuit
court clerk of Uadlson County,
when the latter resigned in Jan
uary, ltlt, to enter the race for
Probate Judge, was arrested
charged with complicity. Two days
previous Percy Brooks, a ferry
boat keeper on the Tennessee
River, was taken Into custody.
Detectives charged that Brooks
was discovered trying to paint out
blood spots on the Whltesburg
bridge.
Overton was arrested September
16. 1916, near Smlthvllle, Tenn.

Strong Possibility of
Affiliation of % Great

BALTIMORE, N9V. 20—Affiliation of

he American Federation of Labor as
l separate body was regarded us more
han a possibility tonight by In
luentlal federation leaders. It was re*
lorted on reliable authority that rep
■esentatlves of the railways depart
nent of the fedoratton had been In

hoods looking to the end. Two separate
irganlzatlons of railway employes
with membership In the federation that
would give them the support of the
yrganlzed labor forces of the country ;
■n any effort to advanqp the interests
>f all organized railway workers, was 1
he plan, according to Information ch
ained tonight.
It has Leen arranged that the presl- 1
lents of the four brotherhoods shall '
dace their cause before the federation
:onven-lon at tomorrow morning' ses- '
ion. The federation executive council ;
.1 ready has reported to the conven
ion that the brotherhoods were "as

'here can be no temporary amalgama
tor, of organizations affiliated with the j
ederation and unafflllated bodies,

f the American Federation of Labor
Id not permit such amalgamation. 1

OuiitlM Dura.
PONTIAC ILI*. ..ov. 20—Mystery
■till shrouds the death of Christine
Diemer, mentally deranged girl whose
body was found In the Vermilion river
twelve days after she disappeared
rrom her home here and thrcs days
liter the body had been thrown In
the river.
The latest theory of tyie men work*
Ing on the case is that the Sirl was
nurdered by an escaped Inmate of the
Illinois reformatory, who, it is believ
ed, escaped in the dead slrl's clothes
ifter he had committed the crime.
Feeling which at first ran high
igalnst the girl's father, mother and
lister in the little town, has now
reered and no one believes the mem
bers of the Diemer family guilty.
The testimony of the physician!
who made the postmortem tends to I
show that Miss Diemer must have |
been held a prisoner somewhere in
the vicinity several days before she'
Anally was murdered and her body
cast Into the river. He bases his
conclusion on the fact that there was
no discoloration of the body, which
would have been evident had the
young woman’s tody been in the
water since she disappeared on Octo

Another theory of the case Is that
a simple blue walking suit and a
modest black hat iu the material of
which the phantoms of the mad girl's

her to self-deetmctlon.
Letter From England Tells
of Heroic Death of Youth,
Brother of Montgomerian
Private Eaves, Leader of ]
Birmingham Society,
Killed While Succoring
Wounded Comrade
Relatives In trfls city and in Birm
ngham have at last received informs?
ion giving details concerning the
leath of Private Eaves, the son of
3r. George Eaves, State Secretary of
he Anti-Tuberculosis League, and
irother to B. G. Eaves of this city,
vho was killed in action while serving
vlth the British Army on the Somme
ront on September 15 last. Up to the
•resent, the only news which had beeji
ecelved was the announcement receiv
'd on October 9. stating that the
oung man had met a soldier’s death
'somewhere in France".
A letter was written by relatives
if the young man, asking for parti
ulars of his death and the place of
ils burial. A reply has been received
rom the captain of the company in
vhlch the young man served, telling
low he met his death when the Brit
sh forces drove forward on the Som
ne, through exposing himself In suc
oring a wounded comrade; and how
le lies burled between “ Courcellette
ind the Sugar Refinery, the exact
lositlon not known.”
u«a social Leaner
Private Eaves, who was prominent
n Birmingham’s social life. was Im
plied by enthusiasm for the Allied
'ause to go to Canada in the early
)art of 1915 and enlist in a Canadian
•egiment, which was being trained for
service with the other forces of the
British Empire in Flanders and
France. The regiment was transferred
:o England in June 1916, after more
:han a year’s preparation . for the
’day.” Young Eaves hatT rison from
he rank of private to quartermaster
lergeant, and later was promoted
:o a lieutenancy; but being desirourf
>f seeing active service as soon as
>ossible. and finding that his regiment
ivas likely to be detained in England
for some time, he resigned his com
nisslon, and enlisted as a private in
mother regiment w’hich was to go to
:he front at an early date.
Under Fire At Last
In July he was transferred to the
fighting front In France, and on Au
gust 1 was under fire for the first
:tme. Six weeks later saw one of the
nost desperate attempts which the
British army made to smash the Ger
nan lines on the Somme. It “tank
lay” when the new British instru
nents of war were tried out with such
rtrlking success.
During the four days of the British
iBsault, from September 13 to 17, it
s estimated that the British losses
vere greater than at any other period
>f the Somme offensive. The village of
?ourcellette, transformed into a ver
table fortfess by the Germans, and
he sugar refinery near it, were des
>erately contested; and it was here
hat Private* Eaves met his fate.
