MRS. BOTKIN'S EXTRADITION.
Alleged Poisoner VIII Be Sent to
Delaware For Trial

San Francisco, Oct. 5.-Governor
Budd this afternoon decided that Mrs.
Cornelia Botlin must go to Delaware
to stand trial for the murder Of Mrs.
John P Dunning and Mrs. Joshua
Deane. He viii honor the requisition
of the governor of Delaware and order
the issuance of his warrant for the de-
livery of Mrs. Botkin to Detective Nc
Vey, the agent of the state of Della
ware.
Last Saturday Chief of Police Lees
received the new set of requisition pa
pers, and on Monday they were sub
mitted to Governor Budd. Today he
gave his opinion. He said two questions
which had received his careful consid-
Grafton presented themselves. First,
could Mrs. Botkin be tried in this state
for the murder? Second, was she legal
ly fugitive from the justice of a state
in which she had never been?
There was a wide divergence of opin-
ion among attorneys as to whether or
not she could be tried here. There
was but one supreme court decision
upon the question Of her being a fu-
gitive, and in that case two justices
held that the defendant was and three
that she was not. The governor did
not believe that she was, but thought
the law should be tested. and, if it be
defective, it could be amended. For
that reason he would issue the requisi-
ton papers and Mrs. Botkins attorneys
could carry the matter to the supreme
court on habeas corpus

1.-THE effect of the change on ny
health was magical. The hea laches
and nervousness were gone. and IN
their place a peculiar and grateful
exhiliration possessed the entire body
I was not the only member of the fam
lily that was benefited by the change.
One member who had suffered serious
ly with stomach trouble, was relieved
entirely in a very short time.
Perhaps you might be interested to
know that there are several of our
friends who have been greatly helped
by the use of Postum. Mrs. Emma.
Max used to be greatly troubled with
nausea and sick headaches: Miss Addie
Slight was cured of stomach trouble;
Charles Everson formerly suffered
greatly with headaches and nervous
ness; Miss Eliza Smith was a great
sufferer from severe bilious attacks
All of these persons have been relieved
of their difficulties and put in a fine
condition of health by abandoning cof-
fee (Which evidently was a poison to
each of them) and using the Postum
Food Coffee.
Il am convinced that your claim that
Postum furnishes the particles of phos-
phate of potash and albumen necessary
TO rebuild the delicate matter in the
nerve centers, is true, for my own ex-
friends gives every indication of it."

General Merritt concluded with a
declaration of his judgment in the mat

in Paris hoping the United States com

the Philippine archipelago.
1t is also true that the disposition
of the troops in the Philippine islands
before General Merritt's departure was
such or was so ordered as to warrant
the view that a large or complete
holding of the Philippines by the United
States was contemplated.
