COURT ROOM CROWDED.
A Large Number Of Women Daily
Attend the Trial of Mrs.
COrdelia BOtkin.

SAN FRANc1sco, Cal., Dec. 15.-The
crowd which managed to pack itself in
Judge Cooks court room today was
larger than any preceding day Of the
trial of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin.
The day was cold and gloomy and
more than the usual interest is mani
tested in the proceedings.
Nearly all of the witnesses OF yester-
day were recalled to the stand to testify
in reference to the poisoned candy.
Never has there been such fluttering
of petticoats in court here before as at
this trial. Women Of all ages and con-
ditions have been entangled in one way
or another from the very beginning. To
take them in chronological order, Mrs.
L. B. Corbaley had unwelcome notoriety
thrust upon her because she was an in.
innate friend OF Mrs. Dunning, and be-
cause the box Of poisoned candy sent to
the latter from San Francisco contained
the message, "With love to yourself and
baby.-Mrs. O."
But when Mrs. Botkin was arrested
the unhappy Mrs. Corbaley was rcle.
gated to the obscurity from which she
had never wished to emerge.
The slenderest of acquaintanceships
have been sufficient to drag women into
the case. Nine. Bermel-T Thompson, q
teacher Of languages, has taken occasion
to lament the misfortune of having lived
in the same house with Dunning and
Mrs. Botkin. Mrs. G. W. Carter, on the

WARREN ATHLETIC CLUB.
No One Clique Will Manage Affairs
After Reorganization is Effected.
Members Will Have Say.

ASOOAS VIII AA"sO o@Ls
A we'll attended meeting OF those inter.
ested in the reorganization of the Warren
Athletic Club was held last evening in
THE Sun building.
At the meeting it was stated that a
large number OF persons were absent fol
the reason that they thought that the
organization was to be managed by q
certain clique. I
In consequence of this, reorganization
was abandoned until next Wednesday
evening when another meeting will be
held.
The Sun can state positively that no
clique will run the Warren Club if re-
organization is effected and all members
will have privileges accorded them
without fear or favor.
All will have an equal say in the
organization and matters pertaining to
the management of the club will be
brought entirely before the members be-
fore any action is taken by the officers.
1t is to be hoped that the Warren will
again become as powerful on the athletic
field as it was in its palmiest days and it
is with this hope that all lovers of sport
are invited to attend the next meeting
and make the Warren once again one Of
the strongest amateur athletic clubs in
the country.

lent character.
Mrs. Raouf, formerly Mrs. Botkin's
nurse, is believed to have important evi.
dence to offer.
Mrs. Frances G. Edwards, an Oriental.
looking beauty, who was formerly init.
mately associated with Dunning, has
been made conspicuous on that account,
and also because she was once candy
maker and was seen to mail package
on the day prior to the dispatch of the
poisoned candy. But she declares that
her package contained innocuous dain-
ties for member OF the Signal Corps at
Manila.
Then there is Kittie Detemer, who sold
the candy that was afterward poisoned;
and there is Sylvia Honey, who wit.
messed the sale; and Mrs. Grace Harris,
who marked the handkerchief that went
in the famous package; and Alice Bolster,
who sold the handkerchief, but cannot
tell who bought it.
Mrs. Kittie Preston, in whose house
the Botkins lived at one time, comes for
ward with story that only kindness of
heart deferred her from prosecuting Mrs.
Botkin for grand larceny in connection
with the disappearance OF various arti-
cles of jewelry.
Finally, Mrs. Charlotte Jacobs, pros.
porous business woman, is in "state of
mind" because drug clerk named Boul.
ten says that she asked him to address a
box of candy for her.

TROUBLE OVER A MOVING.
A Colored Teamster Became Drunk

ley Settled tine Case.

Before Magistrate Kelley last evening
Lewis Broomall aired his grievances
against Samuel Woodland, colored, and
the Magistrate after hearing the evidence
of the many witnesses fined Woodland
81 and costs and held him under 5000
peace bond. Al
Mr.. Broomall resided at No. lIO5 East
Thirteenth street and deciding to move
rented house in South Wilmington at
the corner OF Claymont and Peach
streets.
Samuel Woodland is carter and con.
tracted for the sum OF 81 to move Mr..
Broomalps g goods to the new place of resi-
dence. When Woodland arrived at the
residence of Mr.. Broomall on Wednes-
day evening it was dark and the carter
was intoxicated. He made trouble and
with the assistance of the family the ef-
fects OF Mr.. Broomall were placed on the
wagon and strapped securely.
Arriving at the house On Claymont
street Woodland refused to unstrap the
goods or allow the wagon to be unloaded
until he was paid 81. This was contrary
TO the agreement and the owner of the
furniture refused to pay more than the
dollar promised.
The negro became abusive and drew a
razor. A young daugher of Mr. Broom.

killed by the colored carter, tainted and
was carried into the house Of a neighbor
named Mr.. Guest.
Officer Moran, attracted by the noise,
arrived on the scene and his presence
acted as subsidizer to the negro, who
still. however, remained stubborn and
refused to unload the goods or allow
them to be unloaded until the 81 was
paid.
