SOLVING A MURDER MYSTERY
WHO SENT THE POISON TO MRS.
DUNNINGP
Two Women at San Francisco Are
Under Suspicion and Arrests May
Be Made-Mrs. Botkin Mentioned.

Dover, Del, Aug. 22.-Attorney Gen
eral White said this afternoon that he
is almost satisfied as to who is respon-
sible for the murder of Mrs. ]. D.
Deane and Mrs. J. P. Dunning, and it is
his intention to order the arrest of one
woman, probably two, in San Fran
cisco. He sent kilograms to San Fran
cisco today, and said he would proba
bly, be advised of one or more arrests
being made before night. Attorney
General White said he would have a
talk with J. P. Dunning later in the
day. One of the state detectives will
probably be sent to San Francisco in
a day or two. Mr.. White has decided
not to have the bodies of Mrs. Deane
and Mrs. Dunning exhumed. He said
it was not necessary. He believes he
has enough evidence to convict the
guilty party.
A rumor was current here today to
the effect that a Dover woman was
suspected but Mr.. White says he has
no such suspicious. neither have any
of the members of Mr.. Pennington's
family.
Speaking about the arrests to be
made in California, Mr.. White declined
to say what charge would be preferred
against the woman or women. 1t is said
that at least two women are suspected
to know something about the case. Mr..
White said he was pretty sure of the
murderer last Friday and he believes
he now knows the names of the suS
poets

NO ARRESTS MADE.

San Francisco, Aug. 22.-Chief of Po-
lice Lees of this city is in communica-
ton with the Delaware authorities re-
garding the poisoning of Mrs. John p.
Dunning and her sister, Mrs. J. r.
Deane, by some person. supposed to be
a resident of this city. Chief Lees
has been working on the case for some
days, but is greatly hampered in his
efforts to trace the guilty person, be-
cause the Delaware authorities have
not sent him any of the evidence in the
case. He desires the original box that
contained the candy and the paper in
which it was enclosed, with the adj
dress written on it. He suggests that
a photograph of the articles desired
might aid him in his search. He has
made no arrests. and Will not admit
that he contemplates taking suspects
into custody.
Mrs. Botkin, whose name has been
so prominently connected with the af-
fair, is in Stockton, Cal, and has not
been arrested at a late hour this after
noon.

The Modern Agnostic.

We look at our churches with their
congregations, growing in numbers and
dwindling in faith, says H. G. Chap.
man in The Atlantic. and we ask our
selves: In all these buildings, cheap or
costly, what real prayers rise, and of
those that rise do any get above the
roof: What God hears them and has
there ever been an answered prayer? We
look at the face Of the dead and repeat
a burial service. If after the manner Of
men have fought with beasts at Ephe.
sus, what advantageth it me if the dead
rise not: And as we say the words we
ask ourselves, "Do the dead rise?" And
If any one is found who believes these
things he knows that there is another
at his elbow who believes them not a
whit or an atom, and these two can bit
on no universe that shall satisfy both,
nor can one be poet to the other.

Twenty-Five corpses were piled upon

from the pain OF frost-bitten limbs and
bodies. The little sealing steamer which
sailed fer the hunting grounds three
weeks ago returned as an awful charnel

on the decks of the steamer, disfigured
and almost unacceptable from the ef.

had endured. presenting one of the most

The Greenland set sail from st. Jonh's

Captain George Barbour and carried a
crew Of nearly 300 hunters. The steam
er proceeded northward with the rest
OF the sealing fleet, but after a couple OF
days she diverged on a separate track
and reached the hunting grounds not
long after. All went well until Tuesday
last and seals were quickly encountered
and several good packs were secured.
