Mare Damaging Evidence Against
the Alleged Poisoner.
JOHN P. DUNNING IN CONTEMPT.

The Husband of One OF the Victims
Refused to Answer Questions Re-
garding His Liasons with Other
Women and Is Placed Under Arrest.
San Francisco, Dec. 2O.-In the Botkln
case yesterday Miss Lizzie Lovernash,
reporter explained that she was de-
tailed , to interview Mrs. Botkn at
Healdsburg, where the accused was in
seclusion at the time of the murder.
Miss Lovernash told the story of Mrs.
Botkin's acquaintance with Mrs. Dun
ming as Mrs. Botlxin had told 1t to her.
When told that she was suspected the
accused became hysterical and ex-
claimed: "Why should 1 be suspect
ed? 1t would have been better to have
killed the man and spared the mother
to her child"
Witness said the prisoner spoke of
some letters in connection with the
case, and asked witness if handwriting
experts would be able to Identify the
writing of a person laboring under
great excitement. Mrs Botkin also
spoke of a number of letters sent to
Mrs. Dunning, and said they were sent
by woman in San Francisco.
On another occasion, while Miss Low
ernash was with Mrs. Botkin in Stock.
ton, Mrs Botkin's son, Beverly, enter
ed the house in a state of intoxication
and made remarks concerning his
mothers relations with Dunning. Mrs.
Botkin turned to Miss Lovernash ap-
pealingly, saying: What shall l do?
My son has the insolence to damn me-"
John P. Dunning, husband of one of
the victims of the tragedy testified as
to his relations with Mrs. Botkin, and
described with some degree of detail
the affairs up to tfNe time he left this
city for Cuba, where he was to do
newspaper work. He said that he had
received many letters from Mrs. Botkin,
but had destroyed them as fast as they
came.
On his return from Salt Lake City in
August, 1897. Mrs. Botkin said she had
obtained divorce from her husband,
and for long time he believed this to
be true. He had told Mrs. Botkin on
one occasion that his wife was passion
ately fond of candy. He identified the
anonymous letters, the address on the
box of candy and the enclosed note as
being in the handwriting of Mrs Bot
kin.
On cross examination Attorney
Knight asked Dunnlng If he had been
intimate with other women. On reply
ing in the affirmative he was asked to
name them. This he refused to do.
Knight Insisted on a reply, and Judge
Cook instructed Dunning to answer. He
again refused, whereupon the judge
committed him for contempt. He was
then arrested.

A substitute for . Bell.

When Bismarck was Prussian am
bassador at Frankfort an interesting
incident occurred to him. At that mo-
ment he lodged in the house of mer-
chant who detested the Prussians.
Bismarck asked the landlord to put a
bell in his room. The latter replied
that it was not in the lease, and that
If Bismarck wanted one he would have
to put it up himself. A few days after
the whole house was suddenly aroused
by pistol shot fired in the room. The
landlord rushed to the apartment out
of breath and found the ambassador
quietly smoking a large pipe seated in
front of pile of documents. On the
table was the pistol which he had just
fired. "In the name of goodness -
cried the landlord, 'what has hap
pened?" "Oh, nothing" replied Bis
marck; don't be alarmed. I have
simply called my servant to come and
speak to me. 1t is quite an inoffensive
signal, to which you would do well to
get accustomed, for shall no doubt
make use of it more than once" The
landlord took the hint, and Bismarck
cot his bell.-London Globe.

The poor wounded in Cuba have had
a hard time. Apparently the powers
thought that there was not going to
be any wounded; and, without doubt.
few on Cuban soil dreamed there would
be so many. Nowhere were hospital
preparations complete enough, in
tents, medicine, nurses, or surgeons
on the field, or in the rear. At Siboney,
according to John Fox, Jr., in his let.
ter to Harper's Weekly, the surgeons
had not time enough to get the names
or even to count the number brought
