ten the letter introduced in the testimony of
the little girl, but the court overruled it.
THE SISTERS STORY.
Mrs. L. Gaifney, a sister of Mrs. Burner,
was next examined. She has lived in st.
Paul for seven years, and testified that about
March 4, 1888, Lille bad told her that Frank
B. Smith had tried to induce her to pretend
sickness and tell DR.. Freeman that Mrs. Bur-
ner had poisoned her. She denied writing
or compelling Lille to write letters to Mrs.
Burner, but admitted writing to George r.
Robinson, the attorney of this city, from
Fond du Lac.
Judge Hansen and Lille j. Headley were
called to testify in relation to an alleged con :
versation between them, concerning Mrs.
Burner, on July II, 1883, in which the girl
was said to have declared Mrs. Burner in
nocent; but neither of them could recollect
any such conversation.
DR.. Freeman testified to finding the girl in
the weak, nervous condition described, but
had noticed no trace of morphine effects.
Byron Townes of the Clark house proved
that his visit to the Burner mansion was
wholly business one, to collect so due him
for board of Mrs. Burners nephew.
TESTIMONY OF PHYSICIANS.
DR.. Deny was called and asked series OF
hypothetical questions designed to show the
improbability of morphine poisoning. DR..
Walrath of st. Paul and DR.. Ames of this
city were also called by the defense. They
agreed in saying that assuming the evidencein
the case to be true, the child might or might
not have been reduced to the condition in
which she was found by the administration
of morphine. The hypothetical question put
by the prosecuting attorney was if girl of
her age, weak and sickly, should be given
one or two doses Of morphine should
fall asleep within fifteen minutes
and remain in that condition "a hours, only
being awakened once in the meantime,
should be found to be palid, feeble, depressed
with moisture about the lips, without any
other known cause, would you not think
such condition came from morphine poison
ingl The answer was in the affirmative.

W. Woodward, assistant assessor, and D. A.
McArthur,a newspaper solicitor, have offered
to sacrifice their names. Mac is said to be
laboring indefatigably and the others cry out
that he intends to pack the caucuses, aud
one says, ~ tell you the fur will fly, and
there will be more fighting than at Donny-
brook fair" The candidates are all high
license and mostly in favor of the ''dead
line"
FIFTH WARD.
81 begin to believe that the Fifth ward is
the banner Prohibition ward, although the
Eighth has always claimed that distinctive
characteristic" said Democrat Of
that locality. ''The only candidates
have heard of for aldermen
are Prohibitonists.'' The speaker I'M
questionably referred to Aid. Parker, the
present incumbent and Mr.. Downes, an
uncompromising cold water advocate.
''Who do you favor for Democratic alder
manic candidate?" was asked of a lazy mem
Der of the party.
'P. B. Winston is my choice, first and
last" was the ready response.
SIXTH WARD.
The status in the Sixth ward is said not to
be wholly satisfactory to either of the great
parties. The Republicans are in bitter
wrangle. The ward is for low license. and
it is probable that low license candidate will
carry the election. The Democrats are
working with more caution and under bet
ter generaship than the Republicans. The
latter party are entertaining the applications
for the position on the ticket presented by
Charles Johnson, Mr.: Brearly and Mr.. Null
doom. The opinion is prevalent that Mr..
Brearly's chances for securing the nomina
ton are the best. In. that event, Charles
johnson, who has been knocked out before
in that district, will call for another horse
and go IN on his own hook as an Ind epen-
dent.
SEVENTH WARD.
Politics in the Seventh ward are badly
mixed. Preliminary meetings have been
held at which fiery speeches have been made
in the interests of the laboring men. Aid.
Roberts says he will not run again, and the
Republicans seem at a loss who to place in
the field. The ward is dead set against the
''dead line'' policy upon the ground that it
has worked great business hardships the past
year, and the indications point toward the
election Of an exceptionally liberal candi-
date.
IN THE EIGHTH WARD
it is war to the knife and the knife to the
hilt. The Prohibition element controls a
strong following, and the other two parties
threaten to combine against it. Capt. E. C.
Babb is perhaps the most promising Republic
can candidate, while the second is undecided.
The Democrats have evidently labored under
mistake in holding a primary, but they
have done so and chosen two delegates to
the city convention even before the couven-
ton call has been published. 1t is stated
that another caucus will be held one week
from tonight in conformity with the instruc
tons of the central city committee, and that
the mistake will be rectifed at that time.
The ward is only entitled to two delegates in
stead of three.

of Interest.
Mrs Burner was found guilty. The jury
came in, after an absence of less than fifteen
minutes, with verdict which convicted her
of administering poison in the form Of NOR
phine, to the child, Lottie j. Headley. Quiet
expressions of approval were heard in whis-
pered tones in all quarters of the court
house and poll of the spectators would have
ratified what was universally denominated
righteous verdict.
THE MORBID CROWD.
The salacious details of the case, limited at
as delicately as possible by the press, had the
effect of crowding the court house yesterday
morning. The court ordered the doors closed
when the room was filed, but enough got in
on various pretexts to jam the room. The
testimony OF the morning was disappoint-
mentto the gaping audience and failed TO
crafty the morbid taste which had drawn 1t
there, as there was nothing sensational to
bear out the outlined policy of the defense.
Mrs Burners advent to the stand, which
was awaited with so much interest,
developed but little. She merely gave
little history of her previous career, without
telling or even being questioned of the NOR
phine part of the story. She told of Frank
B. Smith having lived at her house until her

FOR TIE DEFENSE

Mr.. Fauntleroy, the young Sc. Paul attor-
ney who had undertaken Mrs. Burners de-
feuse, followed Mr., Davis and spoke over
two hours. He INDUCED in great deal of
invectiye concerning the police, the county
attorney and the philanthropic ladies who
have interested themselves in the case, and
showered perfect torrent OF explosives upon
them, calling them "hyenas," "bloodhouuds
of the law etc. He said the statement
of the county attorney to the effect that it
had not been denied that Mrs. Burner had
administered the poison was false. The plea
of not guilty was sufficient denial OF the

fed that she had never been alfected.by an ILL
ness caused by the physical conditions peculiar
to the female sex. This closed the evidence
and the court adjourned until 2 O'Clock
IN THE AFTERNOON,
when County Attorney Davis addressed
the jury, speaking for about thirty minutes
eloquently and forcibly. The attorneys for
the defense, he said, had talked glibly about
an arch scoundrel, a conspiracy, an
injured woman, etc. This was all
very well, but what was the defense made forl
Harriet Burner, charged with administering
morphine to Lille J. Headleyl The story
was well told, and corrooorated by abundant
testimony, and, to give it force, he repeated
the morphine scene, with all its accompany
ing horrors, dwelling upon the motive he as
cribed. His language was eloquent aud very
severe, and his description of the horrid
usages Of the Burner house brought shud-
der to his hearers. Most of this is unfit for
publication, and Mr.. Davis closed by dwell
ing on the enormity OF the crime and saying
verdict of guilty was the only one that
could be returned.
