cided not to examine Nj. and Mrs. Dorsey,
charged with the murder of BENZ. Burton.
and a ~postponement has been made until
next Tuesday. Counsel for the prisoners APP
piled to Judge Wilbur of the supreme court
for the privilege of allowing Mrs. Dorsey
to see her sister, Miss Burton, who had made
such a startling confession, but objection
was raised by Attorney General Palmer and
sustained by the court, and the request was
refused. Persons in a condition to know
state that Miss Burton's confession:was unso-
licited and that ho promises or threats were
made to her. It is not true that either Dor
sey or his wife admit their guilt The story
of the confession continues to excite horror
and indignation here. The matter is the
principal topic of discussion.
