Absurd Statement.
The Chemical aDalysis.-No Session Of
the Jury To-day.
From Saturdays Daily.
The FAlkup Case,
Since yesterday there have been few,
II any, developments In the Waikup
case, and the public, after hearing
the testimony given before the coroner's
inquest thus far, are divided in opinion as
to the innocence Of Mrs. Walkup. The
jury have made thorough investiRa-
ton of all the facts connected with the
case as far a. possible, and now an anx-
ious public awaits the result Of the
chemical analysis at Kansas City and the
jury's verdict. Just when this will be
completed is not known. DR.. Harrison,
who delivered the stomach and other
internal organs to Professor
William Jones, professor Of
analytical and technical chemistry in
the Kansas City Academy Of Medicine,
said to-day to NEWS reporter that
while result might be reached before
evening 1t was probable that no definite
report would be received here for aev-
ersl days; that testing the chemicals
lone might occupy the greater part of
three days. Until this analysis is heard
from the jury will do little Of anything
but waiting, as must also the public.
The substance OF the evidence given
late last evening by DR.. J. w. Filkins
We give today in detail as follows: DR..
j. W. Filkins being sworn. said: my

return from Topeka that he had been
sick while there and was at the time Of
his return; asked him what the trou-
BILE was and he said it was similar to the
disease for which treated him about q
year sgoi said to him: you have been
INDUCING In some excess or indiscre-
tion;' he said he did not know how that
was but he felt badly; this con-
Yersation was in the Office the day after
his return; as near as I can remember
this trouble year and half ago was In
digestion and at times he was threatened
with peritonitis, at times had at
tacks of vomiting and sometimes would
purge; he was sick under my care two
or three weeks; would call at my Office
for medicine; 1 did not go to his house
he was sick but able to be around. He
came into the Office once with some salt
and q can of cove oysters and ate them
after which he cramped severity and
vomited. He came into my Office some
days after and was again attacked with
the crsmping and venting; this contin-
ued for some time, he getting better and
worse alternately until he and got out
of patience; he went to Topeka and doc
tored with some one there; On Saturday

spells; have known Mr.. Walkup for
six years and never knew him to haYe
but one spell of indigestion or bowel
trouble, anything else was only heresay;
in his conversation with me after
his return from Topeka he did not say
that he had been with any person.
J.R. GRAHAM
was next sworn and said: " My age is
"A; occupation, editor; remember Mr..
Walkup had a stomach and bowel
trouble. 1 do not knew how long he
was sick or whether he was bedfast;
knew in general wsy that he was sick
for one or two weeks; he would sit on
the porch; saw him there and spoke
to him once or twice; asked what was
the matter and how he felt: he proEessed
to be quite sick, but would take q trip
for day or to; be would be well for q
day or SO and then be sick
again; I understood he had severe sto-
mach and bowel troubles; I live frat
door north of his and have 80 lived five
or six years; his generakhealth has been
very vigorous."
As stated Ia our personals Mrs. Wal
lace arrived this morning and was taken
In hack to the Walkup residence where
she arrived few minutes after O'Clock.
Mrs. Walkup had been expecting her
mother and was up at O'Clock, in fact
her watch Is quite sure that she did not
go to bed ct all, but was first up and then
down again all night and did
not lie down after 3 O'Clock. She
heard the carriage driven to the door
and came down. The sheriff opened the
door and Mrs. Wallace and her dough
ter, Mrs. Walkup, met, after an absence
from each other Of shout five weeks,
during which time suspicion had gath
cred about her daughter. The scene at
the meeting was very affecting. Mrs.
Wallace, worn with sleepless nights OF ]
trouble and anxiety, was freely shedding
tears. and her daughter, touched by the /
appearance Of her mother and the fact |
that they met under such extraordinary i
circumstances, cried bitterly. After q
few moments Of embrace, the weep
ing mother and daughter sat
on the sofa and talked /
over all the circumstances connected
with the recent trouble. Mrs. Wallace e
in very nervous condition, her health
having suffered very severely from
the unfortunate circumstances sur
rounding her daughter. When she re-
ceived the telegram noting the crime of

was unable 20 start for Emporia until
Wednesday. Since then she has not
been able to sleep much, having scarce

with Mr.. Walkup and says that she was
decidedly opposed TO II She also says
that Mr. Walkup offered her q check Of

would consent to her daughters mar.
riage. but the check she refused. Mrs.
Wallace was annoyed great deal on her
trip here by persons talking about the
affair. Persons who did not know that

suspicIoned party, were continually |
talking about Il aHd commenting upon
