mencing a suit for divorce. The hand
kerchief which was enclosed in the box
of poisoned candy, was proven to have
been purchased in this city by Mrs.
Rotldn, another link in the chain of
the prosecution.
The first important witness was Mrs.
Grace Harris, who was employed in the
City of Paris drygoods store during
May and June of this year. Mrs Har-
ris told of the purchase of the hand
kerchief, and identified the article
which she sold, and stated positively
that Mrs. Botllin was the purchaser.
She was certain of the identity of the
woman, for the reason that Mrs. Bot
kin so resembled Mrs. Harris own
mother that the similarity caused her
to wonder. She was certain of the
handkerchief, because it bore a price
mark which she herself had stamped
upon the article.
ross-examination rather strength
ened her evidence than otherwise, as it
brought out the fact that Mrs Harris
took Mrs. Botkin's address, which the
purchaser gave as the Victoria hotel.
where she resided up 10 the time of
her arrest.
Mrs. Rouff, an aged woman and a
resident of Stockton, Cal, told of her
acquaintance with defendant, which
was that of an intimate. She also
knew Dunning very well. Mrs. Rouff
said that on one occasion, when she
called on Mrs. Botl1in at her rooms the
defendant showed her a handkerchief.
asking her if it was not a beautiful
one for the price. Mrs. Rouff recog-
nized the handkerchief sent to Mrs.
Cummings daughter as being exactly
like the one Mrs. Botkin showed her.
The witness then identified Mrs. Bot
kin's handwriting in the anonymous
letter sent to Mrs. Dunning Mrs.
Rouff was familiar with Mrs. Botkin's
writing, and pointed out its peculiari-
ties. When shown the note which was
enclosed in the box of candy, Mrs
Rouff stated that she believed it to
have been written by Mrs. Botkin. She
discussed the samples of writing shown
her with the ability of an expert She
recognized the language of the letter
as being that of Mrs Botl1in also
Witness then told of a conversation
she had with the defendant on the diff
ferent poisons, and their qualifications
for killing mice. Later Mrs. Botkin
was taken sick, and, While under treat
ment, discussed poisons with her ply
sicians She thought the action of

strychnine was too harsh, and spoke
of arsenic as being mild in it's action,
and seemed well informed upon its
other symptoms.
She told of another visit to her
Stockton home. 1t was made shortly
after the preparation of the crime.
Mrs. Botl1in was greatly excited and
talked about poisons, anonymous let
ters, and made other remarks that
puzzled Mrs. Rouff. On one occasion
Mrs. Botkin talked to the witness
about bleaching hats, and remarked
that she had heard that arsenic was
used for that purpose. Defendant was
agitated when informed by Mrs. Rouff
that she would have to give her name
when she purchased the poison.
Upon s-eXamination, Mrs. Rouff
intimated that she thought Mrs. Bot
kin's illness at the time she asked so
many questions Of the doctors about
poisons. was a sham.

but nothing of great Importance was
brought out The court then adjourned

BASEBALL INAUGURATION.
Brooklyn and Baltimore Clubs Have
Been Consolidated.


New York, Dec. 16.-That something
of a startling nature was to be sprung
during the meeting of the National
Baseball League was an open secret.
and today, when the announcement was
made that the Brooklyn and Baltimore
clubs had amalgamated, no one was
surprised. When the matter was an
nounced as q certainty it was generally
regarded as a. great boom for baseball
in Greater New York. AS a business
ising one financially for both clubs.
Both have been losing money of late.
Close figurers estimate that the new
blood which is to be infused into the
"0ridegroomS" will make the Brooklyn
ball grounds much greater attraction
than heretofore for the rooters, and
that a handsome balance will be placed
10 the credit Of the Brooklyn club at
the end eff next season. By the terms
of the amalgamation, the respective
clubs shall pool all gains and losses.
Those who figure a profit on Brooklyn
say that this will more than counter
balance the Baltimore losses.
The players who are spoken of as be-
ing likely to be transferred from Bal
timore to Brooklyn, are: Kelly, Keller.
Jennings, Mccain, Demontreville, Cor
bett, Maui, Hughes, Clarke and Nc

William Barnie is talked Of as his sue
cessor in Baltimore.
Many persons who claim to have in
side information are of the opinion that
there Will be two leagues of eight clubs
each, under the governing head of the
NauonaI League by next season.

York tomorrow on board the American
line steamer st. Louis.
1t is learned that AgonciIlo, the rep
resentative of Aguinaldo, the Philip
pine leader, has lodged a strongly
worded protest with the commission,
which thus becomes part Of the records.
1t begins with saying that "the very
noble and gallant general, Aguinaldo,
president of the Philippine republic, y
has henored him with the post of off
cial representative to the very honor
able president Of the United States
Agoncillo then reviews the case at
length, saying that at the time of i'm
ploring armed cooperation, Aguinaldo
and the other. Philippine chiefs, the
commander of the Petrol, Captain
Wood in Hongkong, before the deca-
ration OF war, and the American con-
suls general, Pratt in Singapore, Wild
man at Hongkong and Williams at
Cavite, acting as the international
agents of the great nation, in the mo-
ment of anxiety, offered to recognize
the independence of the Filipino ma
ton as soon as it's triumph was at

The protests then recite how Admi-
raj Dewey, by numerous acts, is al
legged to have recognized the autono-
mist sovereignty of the Filipinos," and
in picturesque langua ge calls forth the
promises and a fulfillment "of the SOL
emn declaration made by the illustrious
William Mckinley, that on going to
war he was not guided by the inten-
ton of an extension of territory. but

pies and by the desire to proclaim the

Probably the largest single real es-
tate transaction ever consummated in
Salt Lake City was brought to a focus
last evening, when County Treasurer

Wheeler to q contract agreeing to sell
their Main street property to Hon.
Thomas KeaTns fer a cash considera-
ton Of $50, 000, the deed to pass as soon
as tire title can be examined and aD-
proved.
The property to be conveyed is that
occupied by J. P. Gardner's clothing
store and the 5. p. Teasdel company,
on the west side of Main street between
First and Second South It has a
frontage of eiehty-five feet and depth
Of 165 feet. and besides there is q small
piece north OF The alley and back of
the Daft block. The price To be paid,
$1,000 q. foot, is evidence that business
property in this city still commands a
figure that is far above bedrock prices.
Unquesuonably the Fixt0n property is
as choice as any business real estate
in Salt Lake. II is in the very center
of the retail merchant district.
The buildings on the land are very
old and Gilapidated, but they bring in

less it is NJ. Eearns' purpose to erect

Mr.. Lynch is to DE commended for the
success attending his efforts in bring

other striking illustration of the direct
benefits accruing to Salt Lake City
from the successful mining operations

income from the great Silver King. the

DEPOSITORS GET NOTHING.
Important Decision In Bunting Bank
Failure Case.
Especial to The HeraldO


Boise, Ida. Dec. 16.-The supreme
court today decided the somewhat
celebrated case of the state Of Idaho
against C. e. Thum, as receiver of the
banking firm of C. Bunting & Co. OF
Blackfoot. When the bank failed there
was on general deposit in it over ST.
900 belonging to the state. Suit was
brought by the state to recover the
money, on the ground that it was
special deposit and the bank could
not legally have used it as part of its
assets The supreme court sustains
that view Of the case.
The state viii be paid in full out or
the assets of the bank, but as the mat
ter stands the other creditors whose
deposits were of general character,
will be forced to pay the bill, the state
being Gecreed, under the circumstances,
a preferred creditor. This action will
likely be taken on county claims for
large sums, which win further eat into
the share Of the private deDOsftors, II
not wipe it out altogether.
The supreme court in passing on this
case, which is one OF the most import
ant decided in some time. says: The
contention of the respondent that
public money, deposited in a bank on
general deposit by a public officer In
violation of law, becomes the estate
and property of the bank, the owner
of the money so deposited, contrary to
it's viii, becoming a mere creditor OF
the bank. raises the principal question
in this case. The district court sus-
tanned this contention. We are unable
to do So
The receiver is specifically instructed
to pay the states claim out of any OF
the assets Of C. Bunting & Co, and
before the distribution of such assets
among the creditors of the bank.
