Dover, Nov. Sex Congressman
John B. Pennington will start in a few
days for San Francisco to give evi-
dence in the case of Mrs. Cordelia Bot
kin, charged with the murder of Mrs.
j. P. Dunning.
II is said that his information and
evidence alone can almost convict Mrs.
Botkin.
Nlr. Pennington, who has heretofore
refused all interviews and declined to
make public any of his knowledge OF
the crime. yesterday made public some
of the most discriminating points. He
is still vislbly affected by the great
blow that befell his home last Au-
gust.
Mrs. Dunning, before death came, re-
peatedly asked her father concerning
the condition Of Mrs. Deane. MIR. Pen
ington himself states that he recog-
nized the handwriting upon the box oi
poisoned chocolates as that in the
anonymous letters which began tC

Mr.. Pennington traced this letter an

that she was the murderess. This le

About Taking Up His Body.
CORONER WRIGHT AWAITING

OVhONbh MhlHhI a AWAITING
THE FACTS IN TILE CASE MAY
NOT WARRANT THE CORONER
IN EXHUAIING YOUNG HOLT
MAGISTRATE sAssE's WARRANT
NOT BINDING.
No steps have as yet been taken by
Coroner Wright towards exhuming the
body OF Walter o. Holt, who is alleged
to have died from injuries received at
the Delaware Hospital while under
treatment there
The coroner came to Wilmington to-
day in response to a warrant Issued by
Magistrate Sasse and met Edward r.
and Lemuel Stroud, uncle and cousin
of the dead man, at Deputy Coroner
James Chambers office on West Ninth
street. Afber hearing the statements
Of the TWO Strouds, Coroner Wright
informed them that the superintendent
OF Riverview Cemetery would have TO
be notified regarding the exhuming OF
the body, and he in turn would have to
inform Attorney John Biglgs for the
Rivervielw Cemetery Company OF the
facts and await his decision. The Dody
could not be taken up within eight
hours after the cemetery company was
notified and that the cost OF the work
would be s1l.
After hearing Mr.. Wrights state
ment the Strouds departed from Mr..
Chandler's office, saying they would
return and inform him further on the
matter Up to 2 o'clock they had not
returned, and Coroner Wright is still
awaiting their arrival.
The coroner is of the opinion that
the evidence presented to him Is not
strong enough to warrant the exhum-
ing Of Holt's body and thinks the mat
ter should have been taken up before
the lnterment was made. When ques'
toned relative to this fact the stroud'
stated that they were 50 excited ovei
