This morning at 9:30 o'clock court convened and Harrison was brought into court. E. F. Aydlett, chief coun sel for the defense, made a motion to set aside the verdict of the jury. Ex Governor Aycock made the argument for the defense in, very likely, the most brilliant speech that has been de- liyered during the trial. Mr. Heywood Sawyer made the ' argument for the prosecution.

Ex-Governor Aycock con tended that it influenced the jury Judge Allen denied the motion. Then Attorney E. F. Aydlett moved, an ar rest ot judgment; that also was denied. Judee Allen sentenced Harrison to twenty years in the penitentiary. Coun sel for the defense gave notice or an appeal.

As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with different . remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it grew. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed, . and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. When I think of his suffering, it nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard down-stairs. The, suffering of my son made me full of misery;- I had no ambition to work, to eat, nor could I sleep. "One doctor told me that my son's eczema was incurable, and gave it up fora bad job. One evening I saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give it a trial. "I tell you that Cuticura Ointment Is worth its weight in gold, and when I had used the first box of Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuti cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuti cura Resolvent my child was cured. He Is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Stein man, 7 i Sumner Avenue, Brooklyn. K. Y., April 16, 1905." J FOR WOMAN'S EYE Too much stress cannot be placed on the great value of Cuticura Soap, Oint ment, and Pills in antiseptic cleansing, thus affording pure, sweet, and economi cal local and constitutional treatment for inflammations, itchings, irritations, relaxations, displacements u and pains, as well as such sympathetic affections as anaemia, chlorosis, hysteria, nervous ness, and debility.
