Dover, Aug. 2s.--Interest in the
poisoning cases grows more intense.
Since the arrival of MIR. Dun
ming, Saturday afternoon, and every
rumur, whether authentic or not, ia
eagerly passed around. Upon Mr.. Dun
ning's arrival he was escorted to the
house of his father n-law, Hon. John
| b. Pennington, whore, to avoid being
interviewed, he remained until even
ing.
| Mr.. Dunning, since his last visit to
Dover, has grown much stouter and
some who had not seen him for many
years would scarcely recognize him
| now.
So far as q public statement is con-
cerned for the press, Mr.. Dunning has
| given assurance that none will be made
until the proper time. The family,
4 however, have heard Mr.. Dunning's
| views OF the matter, but refuse to dis
cloHe them. stating that to no one ex-
cept the attorney general will anything
| be given at present.
TESTIMONIALS OF RESPECT.

thereof have each sustained a great
personal loss. Endowed with more than

the recipient of large portion of the
divine spirit. Many talents were given
her and We know that she has returned

She was capable teacher, yet always

In the preaching service, the pastor,
the Rev. j. B. Turner, who chose fol
his text, "Be ye also ready, TO, in
such an hour as va think not, the Son
of Man cometh," spoke very feeliBgly
of Mrs. Deane and her relations to the
church.
MIR. White has decidsd not to have
the bodies of Mrs. Deane aud Mrs.
| Dunning exhumed. He said it is moi
necessary. He believes he has enough
| evidence to convict ths guilty party.
A epecial from San Francisco says:
The police have begun work in ar
attempt to discover who sent the poia-
oned candy from this CITY to the Dun

hssn developed showing that after his
, wife went East Dunning led a wilt
! life here There is no doubt that ht
, was a frequent visitor to race traolse,
| where he squandered his money in
! betting.
Mrs. A. Botkin of Stockton. who
i lived here during Dunning'B residences
in this city. has stated that she was or
, such terms of friendship with him
that she perused all of his correspond
/ ence, even the letters sent him by hil
: wife. Dunnine was in sore fnaneia
straits and his diHtraas over his fnan
i cial condition affected Mre. Botklr
considerably, and she hae had much
TO suy about his anxiety for the future.
She spoke fresly about hia having GUS
! tained losses ut the raoes. Those who
/ knew of the relations between Dunning
i and Mrs. Botkin say that the woman
was evidently very fond of him ano
, frequently exhibited great iealonsy.
Chief Lees says he has received nS
= acivices from tho Eastern police in RS
, gard to the matter, and is simply
!, undertaking TO verify certain reports
, which came TO him in regard to Dun
{ ning's life and associates in this city.
, A blond woman is spoken OF in con.

psrson for whom the police are search
ing, as she was seen with Dunning or
I various occasions, aud when together
} ha always manifested the greatest con
cern for her comfort.
