CASE.
A.~-
Mrs. EDWARDS Insists That
She Knows Little
About Mr.. Dun
ming.

San Francisco, September e2-The do.
sired cxtradition of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin
may be accomplished In spite Of the lnnum-
cradle obstacles sot In the way of tho auth i.
critics. Attorney George w. Monteeth
has voluntarily come to the aid Of Chief
Lees, and the acting District Attorney
and abe State Of Delaware with q lengthy
opinlon to the effect that Mrs. Botkln oah
be claimed by Delaware by process of q
writ Of habeas corpus obtained In a Fed
eral co urt.
| The particular variety OF writ TO DO used
to this end Ia known as the wri9 Of habeas
corpus ad prosequeadum, the attorney
says. He claims that article s. section 2
! OF the United States constitution gives the
Federal courts jurisdiction over controver.
sies between two or moro States and be-
tween State and the citizens Of another
State 1t Is understood that the lawyer
contemplates sending his opinion to Della
ware for consideration there. Tho hear
ing Of the complaint made against Mrs.
Botkin In Judge Joachim's court hos
been con tinuod to Octoter 8.
Mrs. Frances G. Edwards whose name
has again been connected with the case,
declares that there Is no intention on the
part of tho grandjury to mako trouble for
her She insists that sho knew little Of
John P. Dunning during his residence
here
The letter which Mrs. Edwards received
from Dunning. written at Porto Rice, she
declined to produce, but inadvertently shs
disclosed some of Its oontents She alluded
In mysterious way to some trouble with
ayoung woman which Dunnins got Into
while he was here. and of which only Mrs.
Edwards and another person know. This
case was entirely removed from his Bot.
kin entanglement.
When he learned of the tragedy ut Dover
and Of the means by which 1t had been
perpetrated he wrote to Mrs. Edwards, she
intimates. requesting her to preserve this
other scrapo from publicity In the event
that he should be suspected Of wife mur-
dor. She replied to the letter, telling him
that she would never injure him unless he
did something to damage her. "Dunning
will never come back 10 San Francisco"
said Mrs. Edwards "Nor will he ever do
anything to annoy me. Not b,cAuio he
may entertain any liking for mo, but be-
cause he knows that Fcould send him TO
prison. We have agreed upon mutual
protection.
Just why Mrs Edwards should desire
Cummings protection or what she wanted
him to protect her from, she resolutely dc.
clined to divulge. Chief of Police Lessis
patiently awaiting the end Of present
month, whom he hopes to receive from the
authorities in Delaware the amended and
corrected extradition papers, on which he
expects Governor Budd to Issue tho war
rant that will result In sending Mrs. Bots
kin to Delaware for trial. The report that
the grand jury will indict Mrs. Botkin for
is doubted by Detective McVey.
