HIS SKULL FRACTURED

Harry Brown, colored, OF No. gil

The difficulty between the two men
arose over a woman named Gibson,
upon whom both men were bostowine

smiles in such a way that both were
Jealous of each Other, aud Davis, who
seemed to be the less favored OF the
two, swrTS deadly vengeance on
Brown.
The result WAS that when they met
on Sunday might Davis threw brick
at his rival, which struck him ON the
back OF the head and fractured his
skull.
Brown was taken to the Delaware
Hospital, but refused TO undergo an
operation and was later taken horne
by relatives. The reason given TO his
friends for his refusal was that he did
not want to be put under the infiu-
enee ot ether, as at one time previous
when he had undergone an gperation
at hospital in Philadelphia the phyai-
clans told him that If he took ethea
again It w1uld kill him. He therefore
concluded II he was going TO die he

company with Detective Witsil and two

HER DEFENSE is WEAK.
Mrs. Botkin's Friends Do Not
Believe in Her Acquittal.
HER CHRISTMAS DAY IN JAIL
THEY DO NOT THINK THAT HER
EFFORTS TO PROVE AN ALIBI
WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN OFF
SETTING THE TESTIMONY OF
THE PROSECUTION

San Francisco, Dec. 27.-The friends
Of Mrs. Botkin, on trial here for the
murder OF Mrs. ]. P. Dunning, OF Do
yer, Del, have little hopes that she
will avoid conviction in the present
trial.
The evidence OF alibis which She
presented herself is not regarded as
sufficiently creditable to offset the con-
trary testimony Of the prosecutors 8
Witnesses. She remained in her cell on
Christmas Day and there was nothing
in the outlook to cheer her.
The trial is nearly finished. AN that
remains is the presentation Of testi-
mony in rebuttal and the summing UP
of both sides.
If verdict Of guilty be returned,
and the higher state courts affirm it.
an appeal on the question of jurfsdic-
ton may be made to the Federal Su-
preme Court. The ground for this ap-
peal would be the fact that the crime
alleged WIS consummated in Delaware,
and not in California, the package of
poisoned candy of which Mrs. Dunning
partook having been put in the mails
in the latter state, and delivered to
her in the former This appeal, If en-
tertained, woufh at least defer the exc
cution Of sentence. probably several
months.
One Of Mrs. Botkin's Sacramento ac-
quaintances sent as a Christmas gift a
box Of chocolates and, as fate DEGREES,
they were in a labelled box purchased
from Haas candy store, the same store
from which the chocolates were pur-
chased that spread death in the Dover
home of former Congressman Pening-
ton. From a Denver friend came a
gold brooch and the women of the Jail
who look upon Mrs. Botkin as a super
ior person, gave her a linen handker-
chief
One of the most important parts Of
the testimony is that regarding the
handwriting on the candy box sent tc
Dover, and its similarity to Mrs. Bot
kin's penmhnship. Experts have testi-
fed that the disguised writing is Mrs
Bctlin's, and on this the case virtually
hinges, as the evidence 10 purely cir.
cumstantial
IT have not thought much abouf
Christmas" said Mrs. Botkin. 81 car
hardly realize that the day and th'
season Of gaAdness are here. II doe
not mean much to me this year, and
have tried to forget about IT,"
Mrs. Botlon was visited by her sister
Mrs w. II. Robarts. who brought |
well-filled hamper containing Christ
mns dinner. Mr.. Robar1s was ais
there in the afternoon and the thre
dined in the matron's room with tn

and Mrs Botlin there has developed
a very warm friendship.

RESIDENTS Annoyed
FRENCH STREET NEGROES DlSOR-
DERLY-AS USUAL, NO POLICE
INTERFERENCE,

lNuEttt EtNE41NOEe
Those persons Giving near the corner
OF Eighth and French streets are again
complaining of the manner in which
the negro element OF that neighlbor,
hood are allowed to carry on.
Last night was Christmas evening
and, Of course, everyone is supposed
to be allowed a little more privilege
than usual in their actions. But the
Yiciniky of Eighth and French streets
was no more lively last night than
usual, as 1t is a nightly occurrence for
drunken negroes to congregate on the
northeast corner OF Eighth and French
streets, and by their vile language an
noy anyone within hearing.
Last night, about $50 O'Clock, two
of this class of colored people, both
drunk, came down French street and,
upon arriving at Eighth. began dis
cusslng the merits Of colored woman,
who was evidently the friend OF
both. Their language was such that
no personywoman especialCy,would care
to hear. When spoken to regarding
their conversation by a nearby resident
the person was asked to descend to a
warmer climate. The police ON that
district seem to be either utterly igno-
rant Of what is going ON, or else they
complacently acquiesce in the matter
j. p. Messick, who lives at the
northeast corner of Eighth and French
streets. states that every night, and
at an hours. he is awakened by negroes
standing under his window talking in
a loud manner. Mr.. Messick has been
a sufferer from asthma for some. time,
and, although he has so far made no
complaint, he feels that the time has
come when some action should be
taken in the matter.
S. "A. Guyer. who lives on the north
west corner of Eighth and French
streets, states that he has been similar
ly annoyed, and Mrs. ELLA G. Smith.
residing on the southeast corner OF the
above named streets. states than she IS
constantly subjected TO the same an
noyance. Unless some effort on the
part of the Police Department Is made
to suppress this constant nuisance the
people residing in THAT vicinity say
THAT they will lay the matter before
the Police Commissioners.
