WIFE POISONER
GETS THE Pen
The Rev. James c. Hall, of st. Paul,
Sentenced to Six Years.
SENSATION CREATED IN COURT
Defendant Confesses to Have Beer
Slowly Poisoning His Wife for Her
Life Insurance.

ST. Paul. November 19.--The case
against the Rev James c. Hull. aecus-
cd Of attempted wife-poisoning. came TO
a sudden and sensational end in the
district court this afternoon.
Hull had been on the witness stand
since yesterday afternoon and had en-
tered a categorical denial to all the
states evidence in regard to the ad-
ministering by him OF arsenic mixed
with the medicine his wife was taking.
Then the state sprung a surprise in the
shape Of letter which Hull had writ
ten while In Portland. Oregon. last
February. TO the Rev. l. /. Spence. an
intimate friend. who was then in Fer
nando. Cal. In this letter he stated that
his wife was very sick; that she was
suffering from a cancer and that he
expected to be called home at any
time and that he thought she could live
through the year. He also stated that
an operation had been performed for
the removal of the cancer. but that It
had broken out again.
Spence and Hull had been old friends
and chums. and when the former heard
OF the charge against Hull he remem-
bered the letter received last February
and thinking its contents would excul-
pate his friend. he enclosed II TO some
one in Minnesota. The state in some
way got track OF this letter and today
put II in evidence. Hull finally ad-
mltted its authorship. The evidence OF
the states witnesses. and Hulls own
admissions In his previous testimony
showed that there had been no talk Of
cancer for a year previous to the
date OF the letter and that the surgical
operation had simply been the dressing
OF a slight laceration. The state claim
ed that the letter placed in evidence
was written with the intention Of pre-
pairing mis- friends for the death Of his
wife, and to provide a plausible theory.
Last August Hull was arrested on
complaint OF his wife. who charged that
for a year or more he had been slowly
poisoning her by the administration of
arsenic mixed with her medicines and
with articles Of food.
The motive as shown by the evidence
OF the state in the trial just ended was
a life insurance policy for $500 which
Hull had prevailed upon his wife to
take out in his favor.
Hull withdrew his plea of not guilty
and plead guilty. The Judge sentenced
him to six years in the penitentiary.

SMUGGLING.
Treasury Report on Opium and Dia-
Inonds.

Washington. November 19.-J. j..
Crowley. supervising special agent Of
the treasury, in his annual report, de-
votes considerable attention to SNUG
Cling. Opium smuggling. the report
says, has decreased largely during the
last year as a result principally of the
reduction of the rate or duty from $l2
to Sc per pound; 1SS,65O pounds of opium
was imported at San Francisco during
the year 1895, upon which s91S,4O4 was
paid in duty. Last year the amount
was 9S, 126 pounds upon which duty ag-
gregating $5Ss,75O was paid.
The report shows there has been a
noticeable increase in the smuggling Of
diamonds since the duty on precious
stones was increased by the tariff act
of 1894. A return to the rate of duty
provided in the act of 1890. Mr.. Crow
ley said. would be in favor of revenue
and of legitimate trade.
