LONDON, February PA sensation has
been created by the testimony If a servant
in the ease of Rev. Mr.. Dyson, a Wesleyan
clergyman on trial with Mrs. Adelaide
Bartlett for the alleged murder Oh New
Years eve by chloroform of her husband
Edward r. Bartlett, of Pimlise. The prose-
cutiou contend that several years ago
Bartlett failing in health surrendered his
wife TO Dyson. who was the family pastor,
and that Dyson subsequently maintained
a husbands relation with Mrs. Bartlett in
her home. with Bartletts approval and en-
ruuragement, but unknown to other people;
that last autumn Bartlett became
deSirnus to regain possession OF what
he surrendered although the lady
insisted on keeping faith with her
pastor; That Rartlett's overtures became
so persistent that Mrs Bartlett rcsorted
to the expedient of overcoming him by
supplying him with chloroform, and that
on New Years eve, when he approached her
bed with particularly violent demonstra-
tions. Mrs. Bartlett sprinkeled such IL large
quantity of chloroform which had been
nrorured that he fell back unconscious and
died from the effects. The defense insist
that death was accidental and that the
rhIarofnrin was used with an innocent pur-
pose, but the prosecution intend to prove
that Dyson and Mrs. Bartlett killed Bart
lett in order to remove him as an obstacle
to their continued union.
