THE KENNEY TRIAL.


In the Federal Court in Wilmington on
Monday, Ju ge Bradford presiding, Rich
ard R Kenney, United States Senator from
this State. again faced jury which IS 70
determine whether or not he aided, abetted
and conspired with William N. Boggs, the
defaulting teller, to embezzle the funds OF
the First National Bank of Dover. Last
July, after long and interesting trial, the
jury was unable to agree as to the Senator'S
gniit, standing seven for acquittal % i've for
conviction.
District Attorney Vandegrift will make
another vigorous attempt 10 secure con-
viction, and this time TO the charge OF aid
ing and abetiing he has added another in
dictment, alleging conspiracy. The pen
ally, upon conviction, is imprisonment.
The trial of Mr.. Kenney and the absence
of Senator Gray in Paris, causes Delawa e
to be without representa- ton IN the United
States Senate. There was but little trouble
in securing jury, which is composed
as follows:
William J. Canncr, Republican, farmer,
Seaford.
John Galloway, Democrat, farmer, Lau-
rel.
George Reynolds, Democrat farmer Mil
ford.
R. T. Pilling, Republican, superinten-
dent, Kiamensi.
Andrew T. Thomas, Republican, farmer,
Milford.
W. G. Bryan, Democrat, optician, Viii
mington.
FIR Carswell, Democrat, architect, Will
mington.
David Reese, Democrat, farmer, Kenton.
Samuel e. Mathews, Republican. farmer,
Gumboro.
]. H. Price, Democrat. chief railroad
clerk, Wilmington.
s. H. Baynard, Republican, jeweler, Will
mington.
James Hossinger, Democrat, capitalists
Newark.
The evidence is almost the same as that
given at the first trial. The defaulting tel
Ter has been the star witness. He says he
had confessed to Kenney as to his defalca-
ton, and that though Kenney knew him to
be defauIter to the bank, he had asked
him to care for certain of his (Kenney's)
checks when there were no funds in bank
to meet them. These checks had been
drawn by Kenney when he had no money
in the bank and he knew he had none
there Boggs explained his methods of de.
frauding the bank and concealing his acts
from the officials. He further testified to
doctoring Kenney's pass books, that Ken
ney had advised him early in 1897 previous
to his fight to 60 to Cuba. He said further
that the Senator wrote him letters marked
10 be burned or destroyed" with refer
ence to checks coming into the bank that
were to be taken care of. There was also
the positive statement that Kenney had
told him to 'be careful so as not arouse
by any sudden move" Boggs
was subjected to searching cross examina- |
ton by Mr.. Bird, but no new facts were |
developed nor was his testimony in any |
degree shaken.
Ezekiel T. Cooper has been again sum-
moned from his imprisonment to testify in |
behalf of Mr.. Kenney. The case will soon
be given 10 the jury, twelve good men and |
true," whose decision will be accepted by
the people without much criticism.

MRS. BoTKIN ON TRIAL.

The people Of Delaware are intensely in
terested in the tlial of Mrs. Eotkin at San
Francisco for the murder of M 8. John T.
Dunning, of Dover. now in prog -ess. The
witnesses reached The Pacific coast one day
late because of the W eek on their train
when passing through Texas, none of them
being hurt. The twelfth juror was secured
on Thursday. The case opened with the
reading of the grand jury's Indictment,
charging Mrs. Cordelia Botkin with the
murder of Mrs. John P. Dunning, "other-
wise known as Elizabeth Dunning," on
August 9th last by means of poisoned
candy sent through the mail from San
Francisco to Dover, Del.
The reading concluded. District Attorney
Hosmer made the opening address on Ee-
half of the prosecution. He went into the
details of the crime and the gathering of
evidence that tended to prove the guilt Of
ning's alleged Intimacy with Mrs. Botkin
was reviewed, and mention was made of
anonymous letters sent to e--Congressman
Pennington, father of the murdered woman.
Mr.. Hosmer furnished new sensation
He ;old the jury that Mrs. Botkin informed
Dunning that she had obtained divorce
from her husband and was free. The di-
vorec, she said, had been obtained at
Stockton.
When Mr.. Hosmer had resumed his seat
George knight asked for continuance un-
til Monday. He said the prosecution had
no objection, and Judge Cook granted the
continuance.
The press reports say Mr. Dunning is the
object Of much interest in court. He sits
and smiles at any ludicrous things that
occur or at reasons of talismen for the jury,
and his face, which shows no conscious
ness of his position, is in marked contrast
to the grief lined countenance of the old
father Of the Two dead women.
Dunning never glances at Mrs. Botkin,
whose coarse sensual face shows vanity as
her ruling. passion. She sat and simpered
till District Attorney Hosmer began 10 pile
up accusations against her, when for some
time she appeared nervous and i'll at ease
II is not known whether Mr.. Walter
Morris who has been detained on the Ken
ney trial can so 10 California or not. The
| teller of the Farmers Bank of which he is
cashier is a witness also on the Kenney
| trial. Mr.. Morris was the custodian of the
uneaten poisoned candy and his testimony
is very important.
