Scotsman Saves
Brother As He
Goes To Beath
GLASGOW, Scotland. Oct. .'to.
'UJE—Paul Harris, 28, was hanged
today, but he saved his brother at
least temporarily from a like death
on the gallows by an llth hour
confession that he alone commit-
ted the murder for which both had
been condemned.
Claude Harris, .'JU, a curly-haired
former paratrooper, wept and
prayed in his cell at Glasgow's
Barlinnie prison as his brother was
led to his execution. The trap was
sprung at 8 a. m. (2 a. m. EST)
and Paul was pronounced dead a
minute later.
The Scottish home office repriev-
ed Claude for one week Saturday
for "consideration of certain state-
ments which have been made."
Last night, it was announced that
Paul had confessed he alone murd-
ered Martin Dunieavy, ."58. an a
Glasgow street brawl last July.
Paul said he did not see Claude
either the night of the murder or
the following morning.
Paul's wife said he confessed
the murder "so that Claude can
live." She said Paul, told her:
"It would have been stupid for
both of us to die. A life has been
taken and I am giving mine in re-
turn. That should satisfy the world
and let Claude go on living."
Cried Claude:
"I'll be indebted to him until the
day I die."
But Claude's fate still was un-
certain. Most observers believed he
at least will be given a jail sen-
tence on grounds that, despite
Paul's statement he had not seen
his brother that night, Claude al-
legedly was involved in the at-
tack on Dunieavy.

The death made 4'a year old
1'iiiice Carl Gustav the crown

Today the king's coffin was still
in the castle. Around it paraded

Flags were flown at half staff,
court mourning was ordered, nio-
t.on picture performances and oth-
er entertainments were cancelled
and expressions of condolence
poured in from all over the world.
Kings and commoners alike join-
ed in grief for the tall, thin Gustav
who had reigned for almost 4.'i
years.
Funeral plans have not yet been
announced. Neither has the date
for the new king's coronation.
Some quarters believed that the
new king might follow the tradi-
tion established by his father and
spurn a coronation as an unnec-
essary expense for a democracy.
The departed king ascended the
throne in December, 190". He sat
on the throne during a revolution-
ary period during which Sweden
got a socialist government. He also
steered the nation through two
great wars and was given consid-
erable credit for keeping Sweden
out of the HH4-1918 fighting.

Margaret Truman
Stops The Show
NEW YORK. Oct. .'Jit <U.R>- Mar-
garet Truman, wearing a strapless
dress, stormed television for the
first time last night with two
short songs that stopped the show
and drew an estimated audience of
10,000,000 persons.
The 800-member studio audience
was so enthusiastic over Miss
Truman's performance that it forc-
ed cancellation of the last act of
the hour-long "Toast of the Town"
revue with round after round of
applause.
Critics said Miss Truman's so-
prano voice showed "marked im-
provement" and members of the
audience who jammed her dress-
ing room after the show congratu-
lated her on her poise and lack of
nervousness.
The Columbia Broadcasting Sys-
tem carried Miss Truman's image
into living rooms in 11> cities as
far west as Omaha. Neb. President
and Mrs. Truman and Miss Tru-
man's grandmother tuned her in
at Blair House in Washington.
Secretary of Treasury John W.
Snyder was in the studio audience.
Miss Truman shared top pro-
gram billing with monologist Cor-
nelia Otis Skinner and followed
directly after a troup of acrobats.
The Magna Carta, England's
great charter of civil liberties,
guaranteed privileges of nobility,
church free from secular interfer-
ence, and right of freemen to le-
gal protection. It was granted by
King John in 1215 at Runnymedc.

Mrs. Lau-renre Theriot, 740 Arabella Street. Vie
Orleans. Louisiana, is IllOSt enthusiastic in h6r
,. praise of HADACOL.
She states: "HADA-
COL has been a bless-
ing to me. For quite
some time I suffered
pains in my arms and
hands. Then I tried
a bottle of HADACOL
# jH and was greatly re_
lieved. After the
third bottle all pains
! left me." (HADACOL
: gives such wonderful
results because it actually relieves the real
cause of aches and pains when due to these
deficiencies. And continued use helps pre-
vent such aches and pains,, from coming
back!)
Mr. Harry Springer of .*4i0& Greer Arpnue. Si.
Louis. Mix ouri: "I had nagging aches and
phins for some time
and I continued to
suffer pain. Then I
read about HADA-
COL in a newspaper.
I bought the first
bottle and within a
week I felt quite a bit
better. And since
taking the third bot-
tle I have no pains at
all. Right now five of
my co-workers are
taking HADACOL on my recommendation.
Mr. If . L. Daniels. Springfield, Missouri, who
had a deficiency of Vitamins Bi, B_-, Iron
and Niacin: "I can
definitely recom-
! mend HADACOL. I
was bothered with
pains, had little ap-
petite and had stom-
ach distress. I was
nervous and in a
general run-down
condition. There is
" & no doubt in my mind
Is* but that HADACOL
has been a real and definite help in all
these ailments." (Hundreds of Doctors rec-
ommend HADACOL. If you are suffering
pains when due to such deficiencies try
HADACOL. It's guaranteed to help you or
money back.)
Mrs. Ethel Caraway. Box 192, Clay. Louisiana,
who had such a deficiency: "I had been suf-
fering from pains in
my neck so bad I
couldn't sleep and
had no appetite. I
dec ided to t ry HADA-
COL, since the testi-
monials of so many
people convinced me
it was worth a
chance. After taking
only one bottle, all
the pain and sore-
ness had left my
body. I found my energy had returned and
now I feel better than I have in years."
WHY HADACOL GIVES SUCH WONDERFUL RESULTS
ACT J*OW — HADACOL is
not a quick-acting pill
which gives symptomatic
relief—HADACOL gives
such remarkable results
because it actually relieves
the real cause of aches and
pains when due to lack of
vitamins Bi, Bs, Iron and
Niacin in the system. And
continued use of HADACOL
not only helps give contin-
uous, complete relief but
also helps prevent such
annoying pains from com-
ing back. A big improve-
ment is often noticed within
a few days!
WHAT HADACOL DOES
This great product not only
supplies weak, deficient
systems with extra quanti-
ties of Vitamins Bi, Bs. Iron
and Niacin but also bene-
ficial amounts of precious
Calcium and Phosphorus—
elements so vital to main-
tain good health and to
help guard against such
deficiency ailments.
be faik to yourselr.
Start taking HADACOL to-
day. If you have such a de-
ficiency, don't keep drag-
ging yourself around when
relief is so inexpensive and
near at hand—your neigh-
borhood drugstore. Trial-
size bottle, only $1.25.
Large family or hospital
size, $3.50.
HADACOL comes In spe-
cial liquid form so that It's
