THE DOVER POISONING CASE.
one and Possibly Tye Arrests VIII
BE Made Shortly

Wilmington, Del, Aug 22-Attorney
General White today said that it was
possible one and perhaps two arrests
would be made in connection with the
deaths at Dover of Mrs. Cunning and
Mrs Deane, who died from eating pois-
oned candy sent 10 them from San Fran
cisco. He also said the arrests would
probably be made within forty-eight
hours
This afternoon. in room at the Capt.
tai Hotel, at Dover. Attorney General
White, Deputy Attorney General Cooper,
and State Detectives Mcvey and Witsil
met to consider the case.
John p. Dunning, husband of one of
the victims, was present. He talked
freely and without compulsion and told
the officers his suspicious and wen, over
the story, so far as it could in any way
relate 10 the tragedy. He was not put
under examination, as the meeting was
simply for consultation. The officials, af
ter the conference declined TO talk.
Attorney General White this afternoon
sent a number of kilograms to San
Francisco and important results are ex-
pected. The STATE officers also had a
long consultation with John b. Penning
ton. father of the two women, and the
remainder of the box of poisoned candy
was given into the keeping of the State
detectives, one of whom may go to San
Francisco TO assist the authorities there.
Mr.. White said the work of investiga-
ton had to proceed mainly in San Fran
cisco and it, therefore, took considerable
time.
The authorities are charged with being
slow, but as soon as the presence of
arsenic was discovered they began at
once and il is said they We're satisfied
last Friday as 10 who the guilty person
was. ii was decided today that it would
not be necessary TO disinter the bodies
OF the women to make an autopsy. suffi-
cient evidence OF the means of causing
the deaths having been discovered in the
candy that was not eaten. The bodies
in addition, Were embalmed and that
would make ii difficult to discover the
presence of arsenic.

AN INSANE GIRLS CRIME.
She Kills Her Sister to Prevent Her
Marrying.

Toronto, Ont, Aug. 22.-Minnie SaXton
shot and killed her sister Susie. at New
market. near here, today. They are the
daughters of a well-to-do jeweler in New
market, now deceased.
Minnie put four revolver shots into her
sisters body. The police arrested the
murderess. She was plainly not account
able for her actions. She declared re-
peatedly that she had been forced TO kill
her sister.
II IS well known in Newmarket that she
has been subject TO melancholia almost
from childhood. Two or three years ago
she was in the asylum for some months.
Susie was to have been married soon,
but her sister disapproved of the match
and declared that she would not allow
the marriage to take place.
A man who was passing when the shots
were fired heard laughter from the house
and thought the sisters were amusing
themselves at revolver shooting. After
committing the deed, Minnie dressed her
self and went to a lawyer and told him
what she had done.

rbe general expectation

The general expectation yesterday
morning in the stock market was that
there would be fine bull market with
eager buyers and an advance all over
the list The result was not satisfactory.
There was some strength in the early
trading and some indications that the
general crowd believed in higher prices,
but the advance did not show itself. Be-
fore the day was over there had been a
decline in nearly everything ranging
from a half to one point or more. There
was a large amount of realizing by peo-
pie who seemed not to have obtained
confidence over Sunday to continue with
the market. The result of the days bust
ness, however, is not in the least dis
couraging to the bulls of the market.
There is a general disposition to regard
the drop as a legitimate recession after
the gains of last week and to believe thai,
the advance will begin again immedi-
ately. Opinions vary as to the probable
market today, but 1t is safe to say that
the larger number of traders will be in
clined to buy. In a general way the adj
vance has run only thirty days and
should if it follows presidents be good
for thirty days more.

As was to- be- expected, the early profit
realizing sales were quickly detected by
the professional room traders, who util-
lied the situation TO hammer the market,
but the completing of the liquidation in
the early dealings and the subsequent
absence OF any real pressure of stocks
caused them TO proceed with caution.
Foreign houses traded heavily on the
market, but their sales exceeded their
purchases by upward of 10000 shares.

of the American newspapers which this Govern

any better of. So long as the American COM
manders OF the first rank kept their counsel news

large signs such as the appearance or disappear
ance of vessels and of bodies of troops and il IS
quite likely that to those signs sources OF in
formation other than the press were open TO the
enemy.
