At Allentown, p a ., Thomas B«ft tel, who was hf-id waiting investiga tion for the fnurder of Lis sister, Ma bel Bechtel, at. their home a few days ago, committed suicide Thursday af ternoon in ibis cell in the central po lice station. The police consider his act as a .practical acknowledgment of Bechtel’s guilt. Several relatives and ■friends were admitted to sev him dur ing the afternoon. About 4 o’clock he called across the corridor to Allred •Eckstein, Miss Bechtel's- affianced lover, who is «Jso held ’pending the coroner’s inquest: “-Hello, Ai, ane you there?” "Yes,” answered Eckstein; Bechtel responded: “I wish you were here with me now that we might die together.” These were the last words heard from Bechtel. A short time later he was found dead with his throat cut. How he .got the knife is not known. He was carefully searched when placed in the cell and no weapon was found. There is a rumor to the affect that a newsboy passed the knife to him in the cell. The suicide of Bechtel has, been followed b.y the police officials telling the story of the murder or Miss Bech tel as gathered by them. It starts with Thursday, October la, when Eckstein accompanied Miss Bechtel to Philadelphia. He left her there and returned home. Weisenberg met. her in Philadelphia and accompanied her to Allentown, leaving there Sunday at 4 p. ms. and .’Teaching AUqjjtmvn four hours later. 'They went to a certain place together, where they remained until midnight. Thomas Bechtel heard of this and being strenuously opposed to Weisenberg, he upbraided his sis ter xn her room upon her return home. ; He struck her a powerful blow on the cheek, causing her to fall hea vily against the bureau dead. Mem bers of the family held a council and decided upon the disposition of the body and clothing as found. Charles Bechxel’s■ lather’s hatchet was used in striking m. blow on the head of the dead girl’to give semblance to assault. This happened immediately before midnight. The body was concealed in the home until Monday, when it was placed in the areaway, where it was found Tuesday morning. Eckstein knew nothing of the murder, the po lice say. Information charging murder has been lodged against the whole Bechtel family. John and Charles Bechtel and Ec.’k stein were committed to jail inf de fault of ’ssoo bail each as witnesses. Mrs. "Bechtel and daughters were al lowed to go. no bail bei'ug required. SCKsPTIjRE QUOTED IN/ DIVORCE CASE. Judge Barrow, at. Ssivanneh, Reads a Chapter of St,' John to Jury. Judgre Barrow, off the superior court, in Savannah, Ga.,' Thursday gave to a jury for its consideration is a divorce . v case tome -scriptural law bearing on the case. Judge Barrow, taking up a Bible, read liram the eighth chapter of JSt. John: “Now Aloses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned, but what gayest thou? This they said, tempting Mm that they mi gin‘have to accuse him, but Jesus stooped down and, with His finger wrote on the ground, as though He heard them not. ‘He that is without sin among you, let him first east a stone at her." ” He quoted this chapter to show the jurors that the party who brings an accusation against another must come into court with clean skirts and a clear conscience. After being out a few minutes, the jury rendered a verdict granting a di vorce to both parties. Lipton Defers to Wish of Kaiser Bill.

Mfost than 1 can find words to express.” ra This is what Mr. W W W H ’ Plansman (of _ T T I Sherman, T e x.) mT . * M says of Doan’s Kidney Fills. He tells his experience in the following words: He says, “Sometime in Septem 4>er I was taken with a dull aching pain ■across the small of my back, directly ■over the kidneys. I paid small attention to this at first, thinking it would pass •off. But instead of getting better it ■became worse and in a short time the pain centered through my left hip and pain across down my left leg DL U .as far as the knee.” ifl€ Small Ot This is precisely *what kidney trou ble will do with the body. It does not al ways show itself at first, but ap pears just in this way, when some unusual movement or action brings sharp pains and exhaustive aches, telling of sick ikid meys. So Mr. iPlang man’s experience bore this out. Continuing, tee says: “I did not know the cause of the trouble, but I am led t© believe now that it was first brought about by jumping in and out of the wagon and in some way I may have strained my back. “I was constantly growing worse,” he continues, “and I became very much alarmed about my condition. ‘I knew that something had to be done or serious results were sure to follow. I went to a specialist here in Sherman, and under went a rigid examination.” Then he relates how the doctor told hint that it was a serious case, but that ha could cure him for fifty dollars.
