AR Raw of Hone for Mrs. walkup.

KANSAS CRY, NO., September A
morning paper publishes an interview with
Dr.C.W. Scott, a specialist of this city who
relates that early last winter a gentleman
introduced himself as Mr.. Walkum, an al
derman of Emporia, Kansas, called upon
him for advice, saying that ne had suffered
for some time from a chronic disease
and had been treating himself
for it, using arsenic, both in
solution and pills. The visitor appeared
somewhat under the influence of liquor,
and after receiving some advice from the
doctor took his leave, and the latter has
not seen him since. He says, however,
that he was visited yesterday by Mrs.
Walkup's attorney, and recognized Mr..
Wulkup's photograph among a dozen
others. This testi mony will probably be
used by the defence in the trial of Mrs.
Walkup, who stands charged with the
murder of her husband.
