DEAFNESS CANNOT HE CURED
by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There Is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caus
ed by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of tho Eustachian
Tube. When this tube 1b Inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or Im
perfect hearing, and when It Is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
Us normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten aro caused by Catarrh, which
Is nothing but an inflamed condition
ot the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus
ed by catarrh) that cannot be cured
by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Bond for
circulars, free.

HUBBARD FOUND "NOT GUILTY"
(Continued From Page One.)
quietness In tho plnccs ho hns been, i
and having heard the testimony of
the Baptist minister from Schenec
tady, we will not doubt what your
verdict will be in this caso."
Mnrsdcn A. Hubbard -was the first1
witness called by the dofensu. His
testimony was as follows: In 1911 I
lived In Schenectady, N. Y. Lived
In Phllmont until 1 was 18 whero
1 was married. Have two children.
Knitter by trade. Worked In Phll
mont IB years. After failure of firm
went to Cahoes, N. Y., whero I
worked live months In Victor Knit
ting Mills. They failed and 1 went
back to Schenectady whore in April
I was taken sick with pneumonia.
Was In hospital two months anil
then went to Adlrondacks for three
months. Went back to Schenectady
and they had a strike on and could
not got work. Came to Carbondale
March 4, 1912, having been asked
to come by my aunt who lives there
and 1 thought perhaps I could got
work there. 1 worked in tho Textile
Knitting mills six weeks but tho
work affected my lungs and heart
and had to quit. While at my aunt's
I met Mrs. Laura Leanord and Mrs.
Dolphin. The former Invited mo to
visit her in 'lier Wayne county home
and I went there twice. I worked
for Mr. James about ten days and
finished haying with him. I Intend
ed to leave for home but I was per
suaded to stay by'Mrs. Leonard and
nlso by Mr. Dolphin. I play the
harmonica and the guitar and play
ed several times at the Leonard
home. 1 played there Saturday
night, July 27. The company went
home about 11 o'clock. I retired
about 12 o'clock. Mrs. Leonard and!
the members of the family were in
the dining room. I slept in a little I
room on from tho front room. Had
occupied that bed at other times.
Didn't know where the others slopt.
Some slept up stiirs and some
down. Being tired I asked to be
shown m room and Mr. Dolphin
took a lantern and lighted it and
took mo into the room I was to oc
cupy. He went out and commenced
quarreling with tho children and his
wife. He was cursing and swearing
and using language not fit for a
woman to hear. I heard lijm threat
en to cut Mrs. Dolphin's heart out
and to kill all the members of the
family. He walked back and forth
across the room, all the time swear
ing. Shortly I heard a child crying
and begging the father to leave it
alone. It was begging for protec
tion from some one. I felt as
though I would like to get up but
didn't want to Interfere with their
family troubles. I did get up but
was all In a tremble. Mrs. Dolphin
rushed into my room. I got up and
saw that Dolphin was not hurting
tho child but tantalizing it. I went
back to my room but left my trous
ers on, not knowing when I would
be called again. I heard Dolphin
swearing and cursing still. I did
not know what to do. I looked Into
my suitcase to see if revolver was
there. I took It out for two reasons.
So that Dolphin would not get it
and for my own protection if needed.
I put it under my pillow. All of a
sudden I heard Mrs. Leonard say,
"Look out, here comes Tom with
something In his hand." Mrs. Dol
phin with tho child in her arms
rushed in, with her husband follow
ing her with up-raised arm. He had
'his arm raised in an attitude to
strike. I raised up in bed and saw
something glitter in his up-raised
hand. Just then ho grabbed me at
the right shoulder with his left
hand and I grasped ray revolver. He
pushed me back on tho bed and I
pulled the trigger. In my excite
ment I kept pulling. Could not tell
how many shots I fired. Had re
volver twelve years. Used to belong
to target Shooting club. Never car
ried it on my person. I saw the glit
ter In Dolphin's hand and thought
he had a dangerous weapon. Never
had any intention of wounding Dol
phin. Was excited and thought my
life was in danger. Dolphin had
been drinking. Cartridges used were
light .about half power of thoso put
in later.
Cross-examined The examination
brought out the facts of his life and
where he worked as previously giv
en, except ho named a few more
places where he had worked. One
of these was at the Gurney Electric
Elevator Works In Honesdale some
time In June last. Hubbard stated
that ho did not know personally of
the family relations between Dol
phin and his wife. He 'had heard
that they had trouble but never saw
any while he visited there. He said
that he had been at Lake Lodoro
during tho day and returned on tho
evening train. Ho said that ho had
gone over to tho James homo in the
evening, not as Mr. James testified,
to ask them over to tho Dolphin
houso to spend tho evening but to
see whether he could stay with Mr.
James during the night, as ho said
ho did not want to stay at Dolphin's
because he did not want to get mix
ed up in any of their family affairs.
He said that James had company
and he knew ho could not stay there
so he went back to Dolphin's. Tho
rest of his testimony was a repeti
tion of that previously given. Hub
bard was on tho stand over two
hours. When asked about tho re
volver he said that ho had it in his
hand when Dolphin pressed him
down on the bed. Ho contradicted
himself hero as he had testified In
direct testimony that ho had reach
ed for tho revolver after ho was
pinned down. Here Judge Searlo
asked him, a question, " You say
you were afraid of Dolphin. Did
you have any trouble with him dur-t
Ing the afternoon to Justify your
fear?" Hubbard answered, "No,
sir." "Who told you there would
bo trouble?" "Mrs. Leonard and Mrs.
Dolphin told me."
Mrs.' Etta Dolphin sworn: She tes
tified that sho was the widow of tho
late Thomas Dolnhln and had lived
with her mother, Mrs. Leonard. Myj
mother owned tho houso and my
husband paid board there, I did
not pay any board for I worked for
my mother. I have two children,
Veronica, aged 4, and Helen, aged
16 months, MV husband was a sec
tion hand on tho railroad at that
time. Hubbard -was at our house
that night. Her testimony corro
borated that given by Hubbard ex
cept where sho said that sho had
been pressed up against tho wall by
her husband between tho wash stand
and the head of Hubbard's bed. Sho
said that Dolphin grabbed her by
tho thro.1t and then Hubbard raised
himself up to a sitting posture on
the bed nnd grappled with her hus
band. This testimony was conflict
ing with that told by Hubbard of tho
Bamo occurrence. Sho nlso said that
her husband 'hnd paid MrB. Leonard
$20 per imonth board and nover
bought provisions at the Dymond
store at Waymart. Sho said, though,
that Dolphin would pay tho $20 to
Mr. Dymond nnd it would bo credit
ed to Mrs. Leonard's account there.
Sho testified that ho was often cruel
to her nnd tho children nnd hnd of
ten threatened their lives. That ho
would go off and got drunk and stay
In that condition a month at a time.
She said that she would have been
killed many times If it had not been
for the Intervention of her uncle or
tho neighbors. Sho testified that her
husband had been arrested a few
years ago for assault and battery
with attempt to kill and the assault
had been made on her.
Cross-examined Mrs. Dolphin
testified that she had been married
o years and lived with her mother.
She said that her mother took in
boarders nnd sometimes hnd as
many as six. Sho said that sho did
not go to Dymond's store at Way
mart and have provisions charged
there to her mother. She acknowl
edged getting clothes but not provis
ions for the house. That Dolphin
would not pay the money to her
mother but would pay it to Dymond
at Waymart. Sometimes he would
spend all of his money In drink and
go on a month's spree and would
pay the bills when ho got money
from his work when he got It after
becoming sober. She testified that
Dolphin threw three cups at her the
night he was killed but did not hit
her. Ho also threw an alarm clock
at her while she was standing in
the doorway. The clock was shown
in court. Mrs. Dolphin told a very
creditable story of the affair and all
the time she was on tho witness
stand answered all the questions of
Hubbard's attorneys and also those
of the prosecuting attorney In a
voice that could be heard all over
tho court room. She did not break
down while telling of the tragedy
in which her husband and the father
of her children was the victim and
did not shed a tear. Her testi-1
mony all through was In the defence I
of Hubbard.

9 o'clock Wednesday mprnlng.
Wednesday Morning.
Q. "Were you ever out walking,
with Hubbard?"
A. "Yes; we walked to Waymart
one afternoon and once we went to a'
neighbor's house together. When
we went to Waymart my husband
went ahead for he had to stop at
Farvlew to get Ihs pay and I was
to meet my husband in Waymart at
the store." My husband brought
home a bottle of whiskey that Satur
day night and put It in the pantry.
Later I found it upstairs near the
bed. He had a razor somewhere
upstairs but I don't know Just where
he had It. My husband never made
any threats against Hubbard and
they had been good friends. I did
not expect company that Saturday
evening as I had not invited any
body to come in. When we went to
Uncle James' that night we return
ed home about 9 o'clock Sunday
morning after the sheriff and coroner
had been there. When asked what
effect drinking had on her husband
Mrs. Dolphin replied that he could
drink a great quantity without it
effecting him in tho least hut he
always got cross and violently in
sane whenever ho drank for any
length of time.
Frank C. Kimblo called Was at
tho Leonard house about G o'clock
with tho coroner. I saw tho body.
It lay on the left side with right arm
partly extended upward. The fork
was clutched tightly In the hand so
that I could raise the arm by tak
iug hold of the fork.
Mrs. Laura Leonard called I keep
boarders. Hubbard boarded with
mo on July 27. Dolphin paid me
?20 a month board. He went to
Waymart that evening and was
there ouo or two hours. When he
camo home he was Intoxicated. He
acted wildly and was cross and dis
agreeable which was caused by drink.
She told of her brother and wife and
family coming over and went over a
good bit of her testimony of Tues
day. Tho cross-examination of this
witness 'failed to bring out any ma
terial points. When questioned
about tho broken dishes and whore
Mrs. Dolphin had put them sho said
that they were put In a heap in a
corner of the kitchen and they for
got about thorn In tho excltoment.
Sho said that she had Interfered be
tween Dolphin and his wlfo several
times when the former had threaten
ed to kill her daughter. Sho testi
fied that two years ago Mr. James
had to hold Dolphin while Mrs. Dol
phin made her escape from him. Mr.
James and Mr. Tegeler were called
to quiet tho man. Sho also said that
Dolphin and his wife had quarreled
ever since they wero married and
that tho quarreling commenced long
before Hubbard arrived in the
neighborhood.
William names called Hubbard
worked for mo 10 days. Know that
he could not stand much work so
I put him on easy Jobs. Didn't no
tice that Dolphin 'had been drink

that Dolphin always kept cider in tho
houso.

his homo town for peace and quiet
ness. John D.uckor, David Holm

Marsden Hubbard called: "When
Mrs. Dolphin camo to your bedroom
with Dolphin following, what were
you apprehensive of?" Answer
"I was afraid Dolphin would tako
his wife's life. When he grabbed me
in bed I thought ho was going to
kill 'me. I had a quilt over me
when he grabbed me and I couldn't
get up."
Cross-examined: I did not get re
volver when Dolphin first camo in.
It was under my pillow. I did not
get out of bed when Dolphin attack
ed me or put my feet on the floor.
I did not pass myself off to Dolphin
or his wife as a single man. I did
say on the card at the Elevator
works that I was single for I did not
want them to make provision for a
house for mo. Some manufacturers
require a married man to live in
company 'houses and as 1 came hero
alone and without my family that is
the reason I put single.
Judge Searle asked Hubbard a
question here: "You say that you
were afraid of Dolphin. Did you
shoot to do him harm?"
A. "No; I did not. I shot to
frighten and scare him away. It
was not my Intention to kill him."
