DoisSs-CrIme and Accident.
Kansas City, Feb. 5.-Major Woodson,
counsel for Alice Plat. who is charged
with poisoning the two children OF Law
yer Charles F. Mussey, sprung a seasa-
ton at the trial today when he intimated
by his line Of questioning Mrs. Mussey

p.icate her in the crime. He tried to
show tdat she had quarreled with Law
yer Mussey because OF his attentions to
other women, but witness excitedly de-
MED that they had ever quarreled. The

herself might have poisoned the children

HE MEANS TO SMASH LANE.
Hanford, Cal, Feb. 4.-Sheriff Buck
ner IS puzzled at the action of the Mis-
souri, authorities in the case of the sus-
pect Taylor. Numerous kilograms of in
quiry have been sent, giving descrip-
| tons and asking what disposition should
be made for the prisoner. but every re-
ply so far has been ambiguous and I'M
| satisfactory. The prisoner was visited
yesterday by j. II. Dwyer,, who called,
| at the request of Buckner, to identify
him as Taylor. AS with Crookshanks
and Sayres, Dyer quickly identified the
prisoner, except as TO height, and readi-
~ admitted that he might be mistaken as
| 70 ne I'm
ers well, but had forgotten their exact
height. He also stated that in CONVEX
sation, mannerism and general appear
ance the prisoner was similar to Taylor.
| Taylor has grown irritable and impa-
tent under confinement and asked to
be released. He says: 1.-The joke has
gone far enough" He is bitter in his de-
nunciation Of Lane whose information
| led 10 mis- arrest, and threatens TO injure
Lane upon his release.
MURDER WAS FIRST.
Cedar Rapids, Ia. Feb. Sit Is now
| thought to be established that murder
preceded the firing of Novak's store at
! Walford, but Identification of the char
red remains is yet in doubt. The fami-
| lies OF Novak and Murray still persist
in their opposing claims of recognition.
| The inquest began yesterday, and is still
| proceeding in strict secrecy. The life
insurance companies will surely contest
the collection Of 900 carried by No
| YAK.
