CANS WON HIS FIGHT.
Knocked Out BILLY" Ernst In the Eleventh
Round at the Greater New
York Club,

New YORK, Aug. 8.-The Greater
New York Athletic Club drew a good
crowd of sporting men to the Seaside
Arena tonight to see the bouts.
Joseph Cans, of Baltimore, the col
ored lightweight, knocked out 'BilIy''
Ernst, of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in
the eleventh round, which was to have
been twenty-five round fight at the
lightweight limit.
Cans proved his superiority from the
opening of the fight and Out-fought
and Out-generalled his opponent all
through. Ernst at times was very wild
and resorted to roughing tactics,
which were anything but fair. His
elbow work brought a mild caution
from the referee, although Cans made
no complaint Cans simply waited for
opportunities and always took advant-
age of them when they came along.
The Baltimore visitors bet freely on
Cans and took up every bet in sight
laying odds of two to .-BaItinOre
Sun.
Cans will be at the Talbot Fair, Aug.

Nine. Thompson, q French teacher,
Is quoted as saying she knew of the
intimacy between Dunning and Mrs.
botkln, and saw them together at the
races.
The police of San Francisco are
quoted as saying that there is no doubt
that Dunning was a frequent visitor to
the race track, and that he squandered
money. An officer was dispatch to
Stockton Monday to arrest Mrs. w. A.
Botkin, who have been prominently
mention ed in connection with the poi
soning.
This action was taken in accordance
with a telegram from the chief of po-
lice of Dover to Chief Lees, of San
Francisco. The telegram stated that
evidence was sufficiently strong to
warrant the arrest of Mrs. Botkin and
her detention pending fuller investi-
cation. Mrs. Botkin may be taken to
Delaware to tell all she knows concern
ing the poisoning.
IL Is DelleVe JnaJ THIS movement on
the part of Delaware officials is taken
at the instance of Mr.. Dunning. What
aroused the suspicious of Dunning
and confirmed the belief of the Dover
chief of police that Mrs. Botkin might
know more than she had yet told con-
cernlng the case was the similarity be-
tween copies of her handwriting and a
note found in the box of candy. Dun
ming was familiar with the penmanship
OF Mrs. Botkin, having received many
letters from her.
When Mrs. Dunning and Mrs. Deane
received the candy, within the box was
note conveying the compliments of
''Mrs. c." Dunning was intimately
acquainted with Mrs. CORDIALLY and
with Mrs. Seeley in that city, How
ever, at the time the poisoned candy
was mailed Mrs. CORDIALLY was in
Maine. The note, according to Dun
ming, is not in the handwriting of Mrs.
Seeley. A point of significance is that
Mrs. Botkin was intimately acquainted
with both women and knew of their
intimacy with Dunning.
n. B.--Hrs. Botkins, Mrs. Seely
and Mrs. Abrogast have since been ar
rested and are now waiting the arrival
there of Detective McVey.

THE DOVER POISONING CASE.
The Arrival of Mr. Dunning and His Ae'
tions with California Women
Create Much Excitement.

The investigation of the mysterious
deaths of Mrs. J. ID. Deane and Mrs;
J. p. Dunning through eating box OF
poisoned candy sent through the mall
from San Francisco is reaching an
interesting stage this week, especially
since the return of Mr.. j. p. Dunnlng
from Porto Rico, where he was cor
respondent to the Associated Press.
There is no doubt in the minds OF
the authorities that the candy was
sent by jealous woman, who wanted
to get rid of Mr.. Dunning's wife. The
detectives have been looking up Mr.:
Dunning's life in San Francisco, and
some women friends of his will be IN
vestigated. The authorities are con
fident that the mystery will be cleared.
It is said that Mrs. Dunning was
several times threatened by an an
nOvmous correspondent In San fran
cisco. and the detectives will work on
this clue. Attorney-General White
feels confident that the person who sent
poisoned candy through the mail TO
Mrs. J. P. Dunning of Dover, VIII De
brought TO justice.
Two San Francisco women nave
been mentioned in connection Win tne
case. Both of them know John :;
Dunning, husband OF a murdereu
women.
To the Attorney General, his deputy,
Peter l.. Cooper, Jr., and the state
detectives at Dover, Mr.. Dunnlng
told his story. After the conference
none of those who we're at 1t woui9
give any information. 1t is supposed
that Mr.. Dunning related his lIe IN
San Francisco and told of the women
there with him he associated; Altel
the conference Mr.. Dunning declares
that acting under the advice OF th'
prosecuting officers, he could tei
nothing about his statement
Asked as to certain statements maut
in dispatch from San Francisco IN
New York newspaper Sunday morn
ing, Mr.. Dunning did not deny ina
he was acquainted with Mrs. boIkIn
Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Seeley, no
that he wrote the letters publlshed y
