CUNNING WILL NOT REVEAL HIS
 SECRET AND REMAINS IN JAIL

ing agent was one who buys for another person and gets a discount for the work done.
 w. W. Barnes was recalled and testi- fled to Nixon the night watehman, taking two strangers to the Victoria Hotel. These men were placed in the room once was found the bit of a seal used in Haas stand and continued his droning descrip- tion of curves and dashes.
 T would call attention to the use of the Greek IF or capital F which is used in her writing and in the word Dover on the superscription on the wrapper" he said. T also draw your attention to the quotation marks in the note and in her writing. They appear in the Price letter and in three instances elsewhere. Note its marked peculiarities."
 To MT. Hosmer he said the anonymous letters were not written in a natural hand, although certain characteristics ran throughout 1t. These were the hard pres sure and the joining and proportioning of letters. In the word yours" where the ''o'' finishes there is a peculiar point going up to join the next letter instead of going down, as natural. This is a char acteristic of the writer. The expert stated that the writing in the note was not nat ural. It was carefully disguised in the slope of the writing and in the delibera- tion of the writer. It was drawn, not written. The writing on the wrapper is in a feigned hand, according to MT. Ames. This is shown in the deliberation of the lines and the contradictions in the slope

other women? We insist upon the ques- tion."
 Judge Cook said the witness was there to establish facts. His acts with de- fendant show motive and it Is proper croSS-eXamfnatiOn to show his relations with other women. It is not the witness part to decide whether this is material or
 not. I think the answer is necessary if the counsel insists"
 MT. Hosmer saw way out of the di- lemma and asked ''Is your refusal to an- swer based on the ground that you might | incriminate yourself?"
 Knight objected to this, saying a wit
 ness might take advantage of thls plea himself. but that it. could not be brought
 out by an attorney.
 That is So," said Judge Cook "He is in contempt until the question is an-
 swered. MT. Dunning. you will stand
 committed until you consent to answer the questions put to you. Call the next
 witness, MT. Hosmer''
 Cunning having been taken from the courtro9n, Julian Fay, treasurer of the City of Paris, was called. After a few questions it developed that he was not the man who could give the information regarding cashing of postal orders which MT. Hosmer desired. He was excused.
 Professor Wolf, chemist, of Delaware " aS ACNdl4Nh lO say liIdl there was no difference in the poisonous qualities of crystalline and amorphous arsenic. Both were deadly.
 Harry Pennington was recalled. Dur ing his cross-examination Attorney Hos mer objected to question regarding trouble between the servants of Mir. Pennington and that gentleman. MT. Hosmer withdrew the objection and de- sired MT. Knight to ask it again. Mir. Knight affirmed he had no desire to do so, whereupon MT Hosmer proceeded to propound it to the witness. The attorney for the defense objected to this, and the objection was sustained. Judge Cook held that unless MT. Knight asked the question no one else could do so. The witness left the stand without disclosing the informa- tion he possessed.
 Mrs Louisa L. Seeley next took the stand. She testified that she knew Mrs. Botkin and MT. Cunning, having met them at 927 Geary street in the early part of 1897. The witness had seen Cunning in Mrs Botkins room and that their manner toward one another was very friendly. The three of them went out together ire ouently. Asked if she had ever written to Mrs. Dunning, she said: NO. sir. fatly deny that have ever written any thing of the kind.
 She was shown the anonymous letters and asked if she had written them. She

that of artist, editor and examiner of handwriting. Attorney Hosmer asked a number of questions to show the wit ness qualifications as an expert MT. Knight broke in with: ''We admit he will qualify as an expert. Now let's get down to it.'' The witness was shown ex- ampies of Mrs. Botkin's handwriting ad- mitted by her to be genuine. With these be was shown the wrapper which was around the box of arsenic-laden choco- lates; the note in the box, and the anony- nous letters, both ink and pencil.
 He was asked if after comparing the va rious specimens in evidence he could state whether or not they were in the same handwriting.
 He said he could, and was asked to ex- plain to the jury how he secured the facts. To this Knight objected, saying it was not how he obtained his facts, but the facts themselves.
 The witness then went on to state that he found in the wrapper the writing care fully disguised, but that it still compared with the personality of the writing in the samples in evidence. Knight objected strongly to the witness method of ex- blaming to the jury his deductions, say ing: He can't throw into this jury his opinions" He asked the court to in- struct the witness, who was no novice, and should know the lines on which he could present the result of his investiga- tions.
 Judge Cook told the expert to point out facts on which his opinion is based, and not the inference he had drawn from them.
The San Francisco call., 1898-12-21

The witness went on to say: 1T call your attention to the capital 'P in the wrapper. It is peculiar in construction ' This was stricken out as being an opin- ion, not a fact.
 He said the ''p" in the Price letter and on the wrapper were identical and that she same ''p" occurs in the ink anonymous letter in the fourth line, second page. II also appeared in the pencil letter. The witness drew attention to a similarity De- tween it and a letter in "the note that was in the box.
 Knight savagely)-Strike that out He don't know whether the note was in a dry goods box or in a candy box.
 The attorney with Senatorial aspirations does not like experts, having keen re- membrance of the Fair will trial. In an aside to Senator McGowan he said: This expert testimony is dying of slow poi son."
 Expert Ames took up the note in the candy box, with love to yourself and baby. Mrs e. and dissected it slowly, letter by letter. His usual formula was to select single letter in the note and then rummage through all the letters of Mrs. Botkin. II take this w in the note,' he would say, "and place it in jux- taposition with these various 'W's' in these letters." The jurymen went at it in a painstaking manner, discussing what was placed before them. This was finally objected to by counsel for Mrs Botkin. Judge Cook then admonished them that they must not discuss among themselves what was shown them, but to reserve it for their deliberations in the jury room. After that the expert placed the results of his work on the rail of the jury box and the jurors in twos and threes examined the exhibits
 The work was painfully slow and the throng in the court room thinned out gradually until when time for adjourn ment at noon arrived hardly a corporals S guard remained.
 The expert showed the ''th'' in the word with" of the note and the same letters in that" in one of Mrs. Botkin's letters. He took the word your in the note and placed 1t alongside the same word found in various places in the Price letter and also in both the ink and the pencil anony- nous letters.
 Upon the opening of court in the after noon Felix Raynaud, cashier of the City of Paris, was called. He testified to hay- ing frequently cashed postal money or ders for Mrs. Botkin. He identified an order which he cashed on June 4, about the time Mrs. Botkin is supposed to have purchased the handkerchief He did not know her as a purchasing agent, he said to MT. Knight. To him he also volun- teered the information that a purchas-

l on absolutely responsible author ity that Secretary Long has sent in his resignation, to take effect when the President finds a suc- cesSor.
 Longs reasons for leaving the Navy Department are entirely personal. He IS separated too much from his family and has never cared for Washington life. While deeply interested in the work of the Naval Department, he dislikes the social features of official life in Washington, and with the restoration of peace sees an opportunity to return to pri- vate life, with all 1t means to him self and family.
 The health of his wife, how ever, is the chief cause for, his de- termination to relinquish an of flee to which he devoted much wearisome toll during the late war. Mrs. Long and her young son have been at their home in Massachusetts most of the time since Secretary Long came into the Cabinet. This enforced sep- aration has not been agreeable to the Secretary, and, having con- ducted the administration of the Navy Department to the full satisfaction of the President and the country, he feels that he is entitled to release from its man. agement and can now yield to his successor the conduct of the or dinary routine.
 MT. Long, being man of con- siderable means and a member of one of the most successful law firms of Boston, is not dependent upon the salary he now receives. For all of these reasons he will signify to the President his ear nest desire that his successor be named as early as IS convenient.
 His proposed retirement will doubtless be strenuously opposed by the President, who relies upon MT. Longs wise and conserva- tive counsel in Cabinet confer

of the letters. In the Mrs" there is a back slant The "p'' is direct while the ''J'' is indirect.
 Knight to expert-''You have gone about as far-we object to any more.' This had the effect of stopping the expert from pointing out the differences he found in the writing. After examining all the known writing of Mrs. Botkin and of that on the wrapper and in the anonymous letters, the expert said There can be no doubt whatever but that all were in the same handwriting
 To MT. Knight the expert said he could not be mistaken in his deductions. He was asked about an Eastern case where an attorney wrote an address and he identified it as the work of another. He squirmed out of this dilemma only to face series of questions as to the compensa- tion he expected for his services. It de- veloped that his fee was s100 a day, but he had no agreement as to what he was to receive in this case. Mir Hosrfer had promised him reasonable compensation He said he had no difficulty in arriving at the conclusion that all the exemplars were in the same handwriting He could hardly be more certain If he had seen the work done. MT. Knight asked him if he had seen letter written by Mrs. Bot kin to Cunning at Porto Rico and inter- cepted there. MT. Hosmer objected to a series of questions on that line, and Knight said he would ask Chief Lees the question.
 Hosmer: You won't find any such letter.
 Knight: 'It was there.''
 Hosmer: "It was not"
 Knight: Tt was there
 Hosmer: 'It was not''
 This snappish dialogue might have been continued indefinitely had not Judge Cook put an end to it. Knight then became jocose at the cleverness shown by the ex- pert in extricating himself from tight corners. Hosmer protested at the levity displayed, declaring that Knight was not following the rules of evidence.
 Mrs Price, the landlady of the Victoria Hotel, was recalled to answer question propounded by Juror Heyman. It was whether Mrs Botkin went at once to her room the Sunday afternoon she came in with certain packages. The witness said she did.
 Carl Eisenschimmel, handwriting expert, was the last witness of the day. He had not concluded his testimony when the hour for adjournment arrived. He spoke of muscular recoil,'' muscular co-ordi- nation and on other matters with which only experts are on terms of intimacy.

if she felt friendly toward Mrs. Botkin. she said: T haven't such a terrible i'll feeling against her"
 Knight: Have you any i'll feeling against herr"
 "I don't care for her, although we never had any words
 Knight: She objected to your going with her son. Beverly"
 "She never did. I was friendly with Beverly, and I am still"
 Knight: How did you address Dun ning?"
 "I always called him Mr. Dunning He was a gentleman.
 How did you address her son?''
 q called him Beverly"
 Knight: "He wasn't a gentleman?"
 "Oh, yes; but l looked upon him as a boy in comparison with MT. Dunning."
 Didn't Mrs. Botkin object to your asso- citation with Beverly because you wanted to marry him?"
 'I was not going to marry Beverly I had no matrimonial ideas regarding him. He was but little over 20 years, and I al- ways treated him as a boy and a friend '
 Mir. Knight was about to go deeper into the relations of Mrs. Seeley and Beverly, the stepson of Mrs Botkin, when MT Hosmer objected strenuously. Before he could give voice to all his reasons Knight said quickly, ''Withdraw the question, withdraw the question. No further pues- tions." This ended what gave promise of being further exploitation of the glamour less vice that was rampant at 927 Geary street.
 At this point J. B. Pennington was re- called. Apparently the purpose of it was to show that he alone knew that three anonymous letters had been received in Dover, addressed to Mrs. Cunning. It had previously been shown that Mrs. Botkin had at various times spoken of three let ters, hence the inference that she was the author of them. MT. Pennington said he received the third letter and placed 1t with private papers In his office desk, where 1t remained until after the death of Mrs Cunning He had not delivered 1t to her, as she did not wish to see any more letters in that handwriting. No one knew he had it, he said. except the writer and such persons as she might shown 1t to.
 Detective Gibson testified that Mrs. Bot kin told him voluntarily she went to the ferry in this city and thence to St. Helena August 1. The arsenc-laden package should have been mailed in this city on that date to have reached Delaware on the day 1t did.
 Daniel T. Ames of New York was the first expert on handwriting called by the prosecution. He gave his occupation as

mate excuse for refusing to answer the question.
 If your Honor please" said Attorney Hosmer rising, "I insist that this cross examination of the witness is going too far. These matters were not brought out on direct examination and it is practically carrying the cross-examination into de- fense rather than its proper channel. I hold it is not proper to compel the wit ness to answer. The naming of indi- viduals should not be required"
 There Is a direct attack upon the character of defendant" said Knight This man is permitted to blacken the character of the defendant merely be- cause the prosecution wants a motive. If he is allowed to show his conduct with Mrs. Botkin why not his conduct with

was positive in her declaration that she had not. She was shown in turn all the writing, and denied having touched it. She also denied having bought chocolate candy and shipping it to Dover.
 To MT. Knight-She was a widow, and met Cunning at Mrs. Botkin's house, Geary street, in the latter part of 1896 Her presence there was due to an invi- tation to spend a social evening. The party was usually composed of Mrs Bot kin, Cunning. Beverly Botkin and herself. She had been to the races on several oc- casions with Cunning and Mrs. Botkin, but never alone with Cunning. They had gone to cafes and restaurants. where they had dined. This took place two or three times, where she could not recall. Asked
