ON THE STAND YESTERDAY
DEFENSE INSISTED UPON DISGUST.
ING RECITALS. -.-
Writing Experts Establish Almost
COnclusively That the Box of
Candy Was Addressed by
Mrs. Botkin-Prosecu-
ton Closes.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21.-The prosecu-
tion in the case of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin,
charged with the murder of Mrs. John P
Dunning and Ter sister. Mrs. Deane closed
its case to-day. John p. Dunnng who has
been in charge of the sheriff for two DAYS
for refusing to answer certain pointed aues-
tions put 10 Rim by the defense. was re-
leased from custody, the attorney for the
defense withdrawing the Objectionable
question. Mr.. Dunning was the principal
witness to-day. He was hauled over the
Goals by the attorneys for the defense. who
persisted in trying 10 introduce every dis
gusting detail of the case. in spite of the
protests of the witness, who clothed his
language as well as circumstances would
permit, but leaving no one in doubt as to
its meaning. Nevertheless, Mrs. Botkin's
attorneys persisted in asking pointed ques-
tions and insisted on answers being given
in absolutely unmistakable language-the
language of the street. Dunning's efforts to
save the ears of his listeners met with the
appreciation of the more respectable of
those in the courtroom.
Carl Eisenchmmel. a writing expert,
was the first witness. His testimony was
necessarily of an expert nature and showed
almost conclusively that Mrs. Botkin was
the writer of the anonymous letters. the
address on the candy box. and the note
sent with the candy.
Dunning's testimony referred to the let
ters he had received and written from and
to Mrs. Botkin after he left San Francisco
for Cuba. where he was a newspaper man
in the field. He explained that his hostility
toward Mrs. Botkin commenced on his re-
ceipt of the news of the means used in
causing his wife's death. He said that
Mrs Botkin was the first person he thought
of who would have committed the crime.
His other testimony referred to his rela-
tions with Mrs. BOtkin. He exonerated
Mrs. Corbeilly ard Mrs. Calimberg of any
wrongdoing in the case, and told of their
friendly acts to him and his family.
Theodore Kytka, another writing expert,
was called and gave practically the same
testimony as his fellows. Ames and Eisen-
schimmel. The prosecution then closed Its
case. The defense will open tomorrow.
