BOTH SIDES CONFIDENT.
Police Make a Strong Case but Mrs.
Botkin's Lawyers Laugh.

San Francisco, Sept. 15.-Chief of Po-
lice Lees has carefully compiled the
evidence he will submit t o Governor
Budd in the Botkin case. He has gath
cred between this city and Dover, Del,
nearly forty affidavits bearing on the
murder of Mrs. J. P. Dunning and her
sister. Mrs. Deane, by means of poison
ed candy sent by mail. The requisition
from Governor Tunnel OF Delaware for
the delivery Of Mrs. Botkin to Detective
McVey of that state is accompanied by
a warrant sworn to by John B.. PEN
nington, father of the murdered wo-
man, charging Mrs. Botkin with the
murder Of Mrs. Deane. Besides the
warrant are numerous affidavits from
Kent county, Delaware, establishing
the murder of the two m Other
affidavits give in detail the circumstan-
ces Of the case. nearly all Of which have
heretofore been published. In a sworn
statement Mr.. Dunning says that he be-
lieves the handwriting on the envelope
of the anonymous letter which reach
ed his wife in July, 1897, was that OF
writing on the box which contained the
candy, as he had not seen it.
The only lev point is contained in
the affidavit of David Green, a drug
clerk. who declares that during the
latter part of May or early June. while
employed at 1902 Market street, he sold
rs cents worth of arsenic to a woman
who said she wanted 1t for the purpose
OF bleaching straw hats. Her appear
ance, he said, resembled that of Mrs.
lBotkin.
Mrs. Cordelia Botkin and the attor-
neys for the defense claim to have no
fear of the evidence that will be pre-
scented to Governor Budd by the pros
ecution. They base their confidence
on the alleged ability of the accused
woman to establish a complete alibi.
The alibi will cover a period dating
from the day Clerk Frank Grey claims
he sold Mrs. Botkin arsenic in the Owl
drug store to the day she was arrested
in Stockton.
The hearing Of the matter of extra
dition in the case of Mrs. Botkin, ac-
cused Of the poisoning Of Mrs. John P.
Cumming and her sister, Mrs. Deane,
ibid nod progress very far today. Gov
ernor Budd objected to the form OF
complaint, in fact he claimed that nc
actual complaint had been made. Dis
trict Attorney Hosmer and Detective
McVey endeavored to explain the in
l~tricacies Of the Delaware case and
claimed that the complaint was en-
bodied in the warrant. This explana-
ton did not satisfy the governor and
the attorneys on both sides are now
buried in the language OF the Delaware
code endeavoring to clear the matter.
Mrs. Botkin did MOI appear.

HOward-Wilson.

A quiet and beautiful wedding took
place this afternoon at 3 o'clock at the
home of Mrs. George Tourtelolt on
Spruce street, when Miss Minta Wilson
of Boulder was united in marriage to A.
]. Howard, a prominent and we'll to-do
business man of Portland, Oregon. Rev.
M. D. Hornbeck OF the Methodist church
performed the ceremony. The parlor in
which the ceremony was performed was
tastefully decorated with ferns and smi-
lax. The bride was neatly attired in an
elegant grey travelling suit. Mr.. and
Mrs. Howard left on the afternoon train
for Denver and will leave there this
evening on the D & R. c. train for Salt
Lake, where they will spend few days
before going to their home in Portland.
Though the wedding was private and
only immediate friends were present,
there are hosts of friends OF the bride in
Boulder, where she has lived for the past
five years, who regret to lose her from
Boulder society. Many presents were
given them as tokens of the high esteem
in which they were held. The Camera
extends congratulations.

UNIVERSITY NOTES.

Arthur Johnson, former student in
the university and now on the reportorial
staff of the Denver News, spent Wednes
day and Thursday with friends abou, the
campus.
! Walter E. White, an alumus of the
law school, class of 'o7. was seen about
the university yesterday. Mr.. White
was on his return from Eldora, where, it
is rumored, he anticipates opening law
office.
Rev. Mr. Malone of Denver, whose
sermons on the subject of socialism Gre
ated much comment in the Denver pa
pers few weeks ago. will address the
university students on the same subject
next Thursday evening.
The chapel exercises this morning
were given over to short address by
the Rev. Vosburgh of Denver. The talk
was unique in its presentation and elected
much appreciative applause. The SUBJ
| ject matter of the talk was old matter
newly put. He said that the nature of
man is threefold, physical, mental and
spiritual. He emphasized the fact that
it is very essential that the body be prop
erly developed and cared for. Good di-
gestion is a condition of keen intellectual
activity. The intellectual faculties must
be developed also He distinguished
between the cultured man and the in
tellectual man. The so.called cultured
man is too often the man who is able to
quote the sayings and thoughts of others
the man around whom one could ap-
propriately place quotation marks, The
truly intellectual man is the one whose
faculties are educated so that he may
grasp, analyze and discover new truth.
As the third member of the trinity in
mans nature is the most important,
much of the address was devoted TO
discussion of the spiritual nature. Man
must unfold his spiritual nature. He is
related to the dog on the one side, on the
other to God. Without the development
of this side of students nature his edu.
cation is worse than wasted. A smart
devil is the hardest one to control. 1t is
not enough for the college student to
quit his college halls with diploma and
mere learning in his head he must have
good digestion to pump the blood from
his stomach to his head. The man with
Out intellect, though with highly de.
veloped emotional nature is fanatic,
and are often seen staggering about
with their Bible under their arm. In the
harmonious development of the three,
boay, intellect and spirit, lies the we'll
rounded, we'll educated man, the ideal
for whom is Christ.

Clincb Mountain, on their return
from the Commencement of Mar
tina Washington College, their
buggy came uncoupled at a sharp
curve in the road, and the buggy
and its occupants went whizzing
and tumbling over the mountain

hundred yards from the road, at
the bottom of the hollow, in an
almost inconcious condition. While
not seriously hurt they were very
much battered and bruised up.
