THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TJME8-REOORDER; FRIDAY. DECEMBER 20. '.901.
PROMISES TO RIVAL
BONINE MURDER CASE
Washington Lady Found In
Dying Condition.
MYSTERY SURROUNDS CRIME
In the Room Where the Body Was
Found There Were Signs Indicative
of an Awful Struggle Between the
Woman and Her Assailant.
Washington. Her. 10.—Mrs. Ada Gil
bert Dennis, a fashionable dressmaker,
was found in an almost dying condi
tion in her room at 5 a. ni. today un
der circumstances that promise to
rival the Bonine murder case. Her
skull was fractured, jawbone broken
and left ear almost severed from her
head. Her left arm bore bruises in
dicative of a struggle and her clothing
and bedding were saturated with
blood. She was removed to the Gar
field hospital and a large force of de
tectives were put on the case.
The name of her assailant is un
known.
The general belief Is that Mrs. Den
nis was attacked while asleep in her
hack room on the first floor, and that
the first blow, in all probability, ad
ministered with the piano stool, which
was smeared with blood, rendered her
unconscious. The preliminary inves
tigation by the police fails to indicate
that there was any struggle.
Mrs. Dennis in a conscious moment
while bo ng carried to the hospital,
said that some one had “hurt” her.
lmt when pressed for details merely
said: ’
“Never mind.”
Robbery apparently was not the mo
tive for the crime, for on the table at
tne foot of the bed was a small box
containing a pocketbook well filled
with greenbacks and other coin. There
was a bloody imprint of a hand on the
piano lid in the parlor and a window
in that room was open. It is sup
posed the assailant escaped througa
this window.
When found Mrs. Dennis was clad
in her night garments and was in bed
under the cover. She was partly con
scious, although she has been uncon
scious most of the time since. The
detectives are satisfied thau several
blows of the piano stool must have
been wieldeu with considerable force
and that there was no outcry, at least
audible. Her groans, however, were
heard by a woman of the third floor
and in the adjoining house. About the
same time Policeman Livingston and
a watchman, who were two blocks
away, heard what they believed to be
a woman's scream.
Mrs. Dennis is about 47 years of
age and is one of the best known
women *n business here. She is the
widow of Walter Dennis, an actor.

An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy.
Sntur of Fios, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling coldt headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative. .
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal quaKtiesof the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fio Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.
