MRS. B0TKIN TAKEN
TO SAN FRANCISCO,
Will be Held in the Prison at the
Bay City
Pending the Arrival Of an Officer From The
State of Delaware.
The Woman Charged With Causing
the Death Of Mrs. John p. Dun
ming Refuses to Talk of the
Matter to Newspaper Reporters
The Box Of Poisoned Candy
Mailed at Station B, San Fran
cisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24-Mrs.
Ada Botkin, who is accused of the
murder of Mrs. ]. P. Dunning and her
sister, Mrs. Joshua p. Deane of Dover
Del, arrived in this city to-day at
12:1o o'clock from Stockton where she
was taken into custody last night at
the instigation of the Delaware au-
thoritieS and Chief of Police Lees of
this city. Mrs. Botkin, who was in
charge of Detective Gibson of the local
detective service, refused to make any
statement to the newspapermen, who
met the party on it's arrival here.
The accued woman, with her hus-
band and the detective, were driven
to Chief Lees office in a closed car
riage. What took place in the secrecy
of the Chiefs office cannot be learned,
but the conference was of compara-
lively short duration, and after it was
over Mrs. Botkin was removed TO a
cell in the City Prison. where she will
remain until Detective McVey arrives
from Delaware with extradition pa
pers which will transfer the case to
the courts of that State.
The arrest Of Mrs. Botkin had been
anticipated for several days. While
no one here is willing to accuse Mrs.
Botkin of the dreadful murders, all
the circumstances so far developed
point to her as the only woman who
could possibly have had any motive
for causing the death of Mrs. Dunning.
During the last year of Mr.. Cummings s
stay in San Francisco he was on the
most intimate terms with Mrs. Botkin
They were constantly together, and
she appeared to be devoted to him. The
fact of Mr.. Dunning's announcement
that he knew who caused the death
of his wife and had impaired his sus-
picions to the Delaware authorities
was so closely followed by the arrest
of Mrs Botkin at the request Of the
Delaware police would indicate that
Mr. Dunning had reason to suspect
that the woman now in custody COM
mitted the crime.
Mrs. Botkin passed the night in the
Stockton Jail, and was brought to San
Francisco to-day, where she will be
held to await the arrival of an officer
from Delaware.

STATEMENT BY DUNNING.
DOVER Oel), Aug. 24.-John P.
Dunning, whose wife and sister-in-law
were poisoned by candy sent from San
Francisco. has made a statement to
the Associated Press. He says:
L have talked with the Attorney
General and other State officials of

my knowledge. which could possibly
lead to the detection of the person
whose act caused this tragedy. From
the moment 1 learned of the fiendsh
murder of my wife and sister-in-law
upon my arrival from Porto Rico last
Friday my one desire has been that
the guilty should be brought to justice.
/ have withheld nothing from the Off
GERS which could lead to the detention
OF the criminal. But for two reasons
I must refuse to make any statements

defeat the ends of justice, and secondly,
innocent persons might be involved. I
