CALIFORNIA GRAND JURY INDlcTs
MRS. BOTKlN FOR MURDER.
SHE WILL BE TRIED BY THE
SAN FRANCISCO COURTS ON
THE CHARGE OF NUMBERING
MRS. JOHN p. DUNNTNG.

San Francisco, Cal, Oct 29.-The
murder Of Mrs. John P. Dunning and
her sister. Mrs. Deane, both Of Dover,
Del, will not go unavenged. Mrs. Cor
della Botl1in, who was the close friend
Of Mr.. Dunning, will have to stand
trial in San Francisco for the crime
After one of the most stubborn legal
fights in the history Of California, Mrs.
Botldns lawyers have prevented her
extradition to Dover for trial there for
the crime This was accompanied by
the remarkable decision Of the Cali
fornia Supreme Court that under the
laws of California a person cannot be
extradited Who commits crime in an
other state by medium OF the mails or
express companies.
Therefore, whether or not it was
Mrs. Botlan who sent the box of poi
soned chocolates to the home OF ex-
Congressman John b. Pennington. at
Dover, where they were eaten with
such disastrous results, the perpetratOr
of the crime can only be tried here.
Mrs. Botkins trial viii take place
in the Supreme Court and the charge
will be the murder of Mrs. Dunning
sor which she was indicted Thursday.
Judge Beicher will hear the case. The
evidence of the Delaware authorities
will be brought here. Detective Nc
Vey, Of Delaware, LETT for home yester-
day in response 10 a telegram from
Attorney-General White, of Delaware,
as nothing else can be done here at
pres Mt.
Chief of Police Lees claims that he
has testimony TO show where Mrs.
Botkin bought the arsenic used in the
candy; The place where she purchased
the candy; the complete Identification
of the box sent to Dover as the one
bought by Mrs. Botl1ln, and, further,
the identification Of the handwriting.

MRs. BorKIN1s ADVANTAGE.

NllNo. bOltAi-N - AiJN AN lEAHA.
Mrs. Botldn has been indicted for
murder by a California grand jury,
and it becomes more and more ap-
parent that the Delaware authorities
have been defeated in their efforts tol
have her brought to this state for trial
California judges have decided that
she is not a fugitive from justice, as
flight from Justice must be actual and
not constructive. That the woman
will benefit by her indictment there in
stead Of here there can be no doubt. II
is far removed from the s'ene of her
alleged crime. and distance dulls the
sensIbilities of the public and jurors.
She will be tried in the midst Of rich
and influential friends, some of them
prominent politicians, and may escape
altogether on the ground that murder
was not done in California. Her wit
nesses will be easily available, ana
within the jurisdiction Of the court try
ing ner. while many Of those for the
prosecution must voluntarily cross the
continent to fake the witness stand
against her. If justice is to be done,
thn Stade OF Delaware must not stop at
the expenditure Of the contingent APP
preparation PLACED at the disposal Of
the ATTORNEY general. Rather than have
the perpetrator of this horrible crime
go unwhipped of justice thousands OF
dollars should, If necessary, be spent
in behalf of the prosecution. Apropos
OF the decision of the California court
an. exchange says:
That there is need Of some character
OF legislation that will meet the ques-
tion Of murder committed by mail, eN-
press, etc, when the murderer is in one
state and the victim in another is very
patent. Whilst a state may pass law
to regulate the extradition Of criminals
it is not so certain that it can enact
statute to denominate and punish az
murder the crime Of a resident Of an
other state who, never having been IL
the legislating jurisdiction, sends ma
liciously by mail common carrier o
otherwise a noXious substance, ant
thereby destroys human life in the leg
islating state. How far Congress cal
go in the matter is likewise an opel
question. The use OF the United State
mails, however is certainly a matter O
Federal jurisdiction, and Congress ca
pass law to make it punishable wit
death to use the mails for the trans
mission Of poison or noxious germs O
other harmful matter with the purpos
Of destroying human life
The question presented by the Botkl
case has never yet been before the ST
preme Court of the United States. an
1t is to be hoped that that tribunal wi
make some consistent and valuab
suggestion in it's consideration of II
case. That the community should 7

resort to the use of poison or 9th,
hurdul substances to accomplish mu

In an article on the registration the
Morning News says that "there has
been an equal failing off in both Re-
publican and Democratic districts. g"
This is false. It is known to the News.
as weA as to every person in the state
who has any connection whatever with
politics, that the last registration day
completely altered the complexion Of
the registration books and made not
only the state at large. but also al
three counties assuredly Democratic.
Why the News should persist in such
a senseless endeavor to delude its read
ers We cannot imagine. The registra-
tion books are closed; no more voter:

doing they might save enough out OF

will only be farmer anyway"
So the wheat ring applied for as

twenty men came to Taunton with

MINNEAPOLIS. Nov. This after
noon in the 500 railroad yards at
Shoreham, George Stark, twenty three
years old, met his death by being
crushed between two cars. Young
Stark was employed as clerk in the
railroad Office, his duties consisting in
checking freight cars as they were TAX

O'Clock yesterday afternoon groans
were heard in the office, and upon going
out Yardmaster Conway found Stark
lying unconscious near the tracks. He
was carried into the depot, but he ex-

Deputy Coroner Frank Dennis viewed
the remains and they were taken to
Connelly's undertaking rooms. The
coroner was unable to find any one
who could throw any light on the mat

was caught between two cars. 1t is
possible that he tried to make a coup

whether to hold an inquest.

WHO KILLED MIR. BARCLAYs
Further Information Regarding the
Pine River Killing.

WALKER, Mimi, Nov. Especial. 1.-THE
following information relative to the Barclay
murder at Pine River, Mimi, has been re-
ceived. When the fatal shot was fired Mr..
Barclay was sitting, smoking a cigar, and
talking to four or five men, about five feet
away from the window in the barroom of his
hotel. The assassin fired through the glass,
the ball passing through Mr.. Barclays neck
from side to side, probablI cutting the caro-
It'd artery or the jugular vein, or both, as
he bled profusely, and then Embedding itself
in pine post that supported the ceiling, in
the middle of the room.
Frank Breese, Of the Pamela hotel, Walker,
and Sheriff George l.. Hardy dug the bullet
out, brought it to Walker and had it care
fulIy weighed by the jeweler Mr.. Gardner
Its weight is exactly 210 grains, which cor
responds with either a 1880 Winchester ian
old model gum or with a Colts 44-caliber re-
volVer. The slug, which is mushroomed and
much distorted, looks more like 40 than
a a. and careful measurement of that part
or the base that remains intact gives color
TO this theory. 1t was imbedded in the
pillar to depth of two inches. A rifle ball
should have gone somewhat deeper; but on
the other hand. a revolver slug would hard
ly pierce heavy window-pane and a mans
neck, and go to that depth in seasoned wood.
The shot was probably fired from a posi-
ton about fifteen feet outside the window.
as the hole in the post is about ten inches
higher than that in the pane.
