| hard at work under instructions fror
Delaware officials, that crowds gather q
the railroad station and fairly grab tn
newspapers that are sent here to be put o.
sale.
On the early train this morning Attoi
ney General White arrived from his hom
at Georgetown He was soon closetc
with Secretary Of State Hughes, who ha'
received word that the papers calling 70
the extradltion of Mrs. Bolkin to thi
State were to be pre- pared, But that ste
was not taken, owing 10 advices received
by tho Attorney Genera! from San Fran
cisco.
Mr., White declined to say what those
advices were, but it has been learned thai
they will lead to delay in the extraditiol
of Mrs Botkin, If nothing moro serious af
fecting tho States case. The San Francisco
authorities have sent word that 1t will be
necessary to do quito an amount OF legal
work on this end Of the line before lextra-
dition will be even considered by the Cali

MANY POINTS TO GATHER UP.
Numerous atfidavits setting forth the
evidence to be had In Dover are wanted.
Sworn statements showing that the candy
was poisoned. and that 1t caused the
deaths of Mrs. Deane add Mrs. Dunnlng,
that 1t was received from the post office
in the package that contained the San
Francisco postmark. ami that it was re-
ceived at the post Office, all are wanted by
the San Francisco police. They claim that
such chain is nece ssary to hold Mrs. Bot.
kin; that she Is woman Of some standing
and means, and that to proceed with the
case without such precautions might
provo costly error.

mean thas Mrs Eotkin is going to make

LIKELY TO FIGHT HARD.
That Mrs. Botkin will not be broupht
East without a hard fight is oonoeded. and
it NAV be several months bofore she ia
lodged in the Jail here. The Attorney Gen.
eral who was even more reticent than
usual. refused to venture a guess on the
time that will elupse before she will be
brought here.
Mr.. White left here. after n stav of
three hours, on the train that stopped at
Lewes, the homo of Governor Tunnel,
who, 1t is believed, was consulted by the
Attorney General. Both will be here to-
morrow
. 1t was learned here to-day that whe n
John Preston Dunning left here on Mon.
day he went to New York, with the pur.
pose Of rendering valuable service In run
ming down the poisoner of his wife and
sister .in.law. He has been In communi.
cation with San Francisco parties, and Is
sending all the information he can think
Of, and answering all questions wired to
him from tho Golden Gate oity.
