To Secure Her Release Form Detention In
Prison.
Frank MCGOWAN Applies to SUI
perior Judge Cook for Writ
Of Habeas Corpus, Alleging
That She is Unlawfully De-
tanned on the Charge OF Sending
Poisoned Candy to Mrs. Dun
ming.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 27-Mrs.
Cordelia Botkin has taken the often
sive, and precipitated the legal fight
ing that will result ultimately in her
acquittal or conviction on the charge
Of having murdered Mrs. j. P. Dun
ming and her sister, Mrs. Deane, by poi
son. 1t may be brief battle or long
one, but it will be bitterly contested
by both parties.
AT noon to-day Attorney Frank Nc
Gowan applied to Superior Judge Cook
for writ of habeas corpus to procure
the release from prison of Mrs. Botkin.
The application alleges that Mrs. Bot
kin is unlawfully detained in prison
and deprived Of her liberty by the Chief
of Police; that no public offense has
been charged against her in this State,
and that she is not a fugitive from JUS
tice. The hearing of the application
has been set for Monday morning. At
that time the Chief of Police will have
to justify his action Of arresting Mrs.
.Botkin.
If the writ Of habeas corpus is denied
the attorneys will take their next stand
before Governor Budd to prevent him
from signing the mandate of eXtradi-
ton.
