PULLED DOWN THE BLINDS.
Damaging Testimony by n Servant
in the Bartlett Case.

LONDON, Feb. GA sensation has been
created by the testimony of a servant in the
case of Rev. Dyson, Wesleyan clergyman,
on trial with Mrs. Adelaide Bartlett for
alleged murder New Years eve. by chloro-
form, OF her husband. Edward T. Bartlett
of Pimlico. The prosecution contend that
several years ago Bartlett, failing in health,
surrendered his wife TO Dyson. who was
family pastor; that Dyson subsequently,
maintained husbands relations with Mrs.
Bartlett in her house with Bartlett'S approval
and encouragement, but. unknown TO other
people, that last autumn Bartlett had be-
come DESTROYS 10 regain the position he had
surrendered, although the lady Insisted on
keeping faith with her pastor, that Bart
let's Overtures became so persistent that
Mrs. Bartlett reSOrted 10 the eXpedient of
overcoming him with chlOrOfOrm. and that
on New Years eve, when he approached
her bedside with particularly violent DEM
CnstTatIonS. Mrs. Bartlett sprinkled such a
large quantity OF chlOrOfOrm, which had
been procured by Dyson, in her husbands
face, he fell back unconscious and died
from its effects. The defense is the death
was accidental and that the chlorofOrm was
used with innocent purpose. but
the prosecution intends TO prove bv DYSON
That Mrs. Bartlett killed Bartlett in order
To remove him as an obstacle to their CON
tinued union. Dyson on his preliminary
examination swOre, while he and Mrs.
Bartlett expected TO marry in the event of
her husbands death. their relations had al
ways been of the most innocent nature.
The servant. who testified for the proSecu-
ton. swOre to the frequency and duration
OF DySon's visits 10 Mrs. Bartlett. Witness
said that whenever the clergyman called in
cold weather Mrs. Bartlett warmed pair
of slippers at the fire for him and that gen
orally she carefully pinned the blinds of the
room wherein she entertained him. The
servant swOre that she had seen Mrs. Bart
lett and the preacher sitting on the floor to-
gether, and also had seen Mr.. Dyson sitting
In low chair with Mrs. Bartlett on the
floor before him with her head in his lap. !
