Burn* Not Here.
It was rumored at the Jail Tuesday

lull officials and by the Burns local
office. Reports now are that he will
come hack to Atlanta during the lutter

and with detectives from police head
quarters.
Solicitor liorsev will have nothing
to ray in tile present status of the
casey He was away from his office

secret mission, said to tic In interest
of the Frank prosecution. For a part

THE WIFE TELLS
A6IOTHEB STORY
Mrs. McKnight, Blinded With
Carbolic Acid, Charges Hus
band With/ Deliberate Act.
Atlanta, Ga. —Lying on ln'r lied at
tl e (Rady Hospital, crying out in un
gi isii that her eyes were killing her.
.Mrs. Rosa Knight, of Macon, the vic
tim of carbolic acid at the Piedmont
llotei Monday night, vigorously at
tacked the story told by her husband,
DeWitt Knight, who told the police
that he slapped the bottle of carbolic
arid from her lips as she was trying
to swallow it, branding his tale as
false.
During her semi-conscious state
throughout Monday night, as she was
being treated by Doctors Welchel and
Pitman, of the Orndy Hospital, it is
Ftated that the woman tepeatedly cried
out:
"Why don't you tell them who did
it?”
"There is some chance that the
woman’s eyesight will be saved," de
clared Dr. Pitman last night. "He
burns are not as bad as was thought
at first. Her left eye is consider d
damaged by the acid, but it may fie
saved."
Husband Is Arrssted.
The husband, when Rosa Knight
was able to tell her tale about the car
bolic acid burns, which cover her face,
Rrms and neck, was arrested by the
police and is being held at the station
house, as he is unable to give a bond
of $2,000.
Knight sticks to his story which he
told Monday night, that when he en
tered Mrs. Knight's room at the Pied
mont Hotel, shortly after she had reg
istered; that when she saw him. she
took the bottle of acid from her hand
ling and put the mouth of It to iter
Ups. and that he slapped It from Iter
hands, struggling with her to keep her
from committing suicide, and that the
burns he received are proof that he did
not throw the acid on her to "ruin her
beauty," as Mrs. Knight claims hpr
husband had threatened on several oc
casions before.
IMi*. Knight claims that when her
husband opened the door, he ap
proached her with his arms extended
In a loving manner, ss though to make
amends for their previous troubles.
■He placed his arm around my neck,
and proceeded to kiss me. and then,
before I knew what had happened, ho
had thrown the acid In my eyes, blind
ing me completely."
She then accused her husband of
having played the part of a Judas.
-His kiss was the kiss of a .Judas,”
declared Mrs. Knight, "and I will se
to It that he is punished for his per
fidy.”
No Traces Internally.
The doctors who attended the
wounds of Mrs. Knight declared that
they found absolutely no traces of car
bolic acid having been taken inter
nally. The examination of the stom
ach disclosed nothing to indicate that
the acid was taken internally. There
were Ho burns on her tongue, nor In
her throat. Her lips were slightly
burned by ihe add. hut the doctors
believe that this happened when the
add was thrown In her face.
PeWltt Knight will be tried u» soon
ns hla wife’s condition will permit her
HPpeHrnnee In court. The doctors do
not believe that she will lie able to
leave the Imapltnl for some da.va yet.
Her entire face la Vovered with ban
dages with only a small opening at the
mouth and noae for breathing and
nourishment.
Knight atate* that he came to At-
Innm from Macon to see his wife, be
lieving that she would come hero to
see her little daughter, Thelma, who
has beer, here at the Home for th*
Friendless alnce last December, when
the contta took the little girl away
from Its mother. Knight states that
he was the prosecutor In the case, and
that lie did not want Ills wife, whom he
has been separated from for gdttte time,
to again see the little girl.

Gets Skin Nice
And Clear
Put* Life into Muscles —Gives
Just the Slight Exhilaration
Needed for Health
Nature has us with wonder
ful materials for the restoration of
health It Is from our own forests
that Georgia people have the best
medicine in the world. S. 8 8, the
famous vegetable blood purifier, has
been a marvel for more than forty
years. And its action in overcoming
nil skin troubles und blood risings or
eruptions is easily explained.
The skin Is but a network of fine
blood vessels. And it Is perfectly natural
that any unhealthful Influence In 'the
blood makes Its first appearance in
the skin. There is one Ingredient In
8. 8. 8. which peculiarly stimulates
cellular or glandular activity to select
from the blood or from this fine net
work of blood vessels in the skin,
those elements which it requires for
regeneration.
Thus pimples, boils, eczema, or any
other blood condition that attacks the
skin ’or seeks an outlet through the
skin, Is met with the antidotal effect
of 8. 8. 8.
This is why skin troubles vanish so
readily and why they do not return.
And In ridding the blood of Impurities,
8. 8. 8. Imparts a fine exhilaration to
the entire system and you feel fine.
8 8. 8 Is prepared only by The Swift
Specific Co., G-9, Hwlft Bldg. Atlanta,
Ga. You will find 8 8. 8. on sale at
all drug stores Get a bottle to-day
and banish all skin afflictions. Beware
9t imitations or substitutes.
