East Lake, Ala., Dec. 8th, 1902.
Mr. A. B. Girardeau, Savannah, Ga.
Dear Sir:—This is to certify that on Au
gust 1st I went to Verbena, Ala., to hold a
series of meetings. Was at that time, and
had been for six weeks prior, so feeble I was
scarcely able to preach. Mr. F. A. Gulledge,
of Verbena, with whose family I was stop
ping, kindly offered me three bottles of
Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic, gratis. I
accepted, and began the use of the Tonic at
once. Within three weeks I was much
better. In three weeks I had taken the
three bottles of Tonic and] was fully well.
Took no other medicine then nor since, and
am in better health and heavier than for
the past fifteen years.
J. M. McCORD,
Pastor Verbena Baptist Church.

Police Believe They Have Eitabliched
Motive For Crime.
Bedford, Ind., Jan. 25.—Detectives
at work on the mysterious murder oi
Miss Mary Schaefer, teacher of Lat
in the Bedford schools, believe they
liavu established a motive for the
crime; they are satisfied that the tall
man in the long overcoat, that was
seen lurking In th evlcinity of the
Johnson house. Is the murderer ;
at this man Is the ono who was an
noying Miss Schaefer.
Tho officers decline to mention tho
namo of tbe "suspect," and when ask-
If he Is a stranger here, said It
would lie unusual for a perfect stran
ger In Bedford to know tho locution
of tho cab shed; though, they say,
lie might not llvo in Bedford, and yet
be tamliiar with Lhe locality at which
the crime was committed.
Tne theory of tho police is that the
man who 'killed Sarali Schaefer was
capable of (leallng'a terrific blow, anu
that he knew just where to strike.
Further, that this man was anamored
of Miss Schaefer, and that she had
repulsed him. The Idea of tho police
is that this man brooding over his
passion for tho young woman deter
mined to have an Interview with liv
and watcSed for her on tills particular
night and as the ono best suited for
his purpose. That ho hail made un
his mini to kill her If 'she again re
sented his advances and watched for
her as she left the Johnson boarding
bouse. Ho kept on tho opposite sldo
Gt the Street until Captain Alexan
der bad ntcred tho Wlndstandly
house, and then overtook har at Four
teenth and L streets.

dor of Miss Sarah Schaefer, began its
work today by examining witnesses
on the theory that the murder had
criminal assault for Its motive.
Michael Murphy and Frank Tobias,
two pupils of . Miss Schaefer, who'
were the first to Identify tho Cody,
have found Jlbis Schaefer's pin or
brooch near Fifteenth and K streets,
two blocks from tli^ fatal alley. Tho
clasp was broken off and appeared to
be broken with a jerk la a struggle.
The boys picked tbe pin up, and, be
lieving It to be the diamond set pin
which tbe teacher wore In the hack
of her collar, they took It to. Ml
Smith, who identified It as Ml
Schaefer's pin. The pin and tho
other belongings of Miss Schaefer
were (jlven to her brother.
The finding of the broken pin two
blocks from the scene of the final
struggle might indicate, officers say,
that a struggle between Miss Schaefer
and her murderer, ensued this dis
tance from the scene of the tragedy.
Belief Is growing among the membors
of the court of In-'ry that a black
man Is the notin' Particular at
tention will be j such men as
would be likely to 1,-vc carried horse
hall's on t'-clr elothlng..^
If such a mnn v. - .-e tho slayer of
Miss Schaefer, the pretence of the
red hairs In her clothing might be
crpialned. It la polntod .out that
tncro Is much evide nce leading to the
conclusion of assault, and only as
sault, was the motive for the heinous
crime. The u ;a of a brick as a weap
on Indicates to those directing the
work that a low grade man was the
enmln:'. The brick used could scarce
ly have been found In the alley. Of J
fleers believe It v.a s probably carried
in tho pocket of tho murderer. A
bottle or cheap whisky has been found
near the scene of tho crime. This
Is point d out an further evidence that
the Lend was a man of low habits.
All saloons have b :tn virfted by Ihe
