San Francisco. CAL, Sept. 12.-Mi ss
Lizzie Livernash, who ingratiated her.
self into tho confidence of Mrs. Cor
della Botkin before tho litter was ac-
oused of tho murder OF Mrs Dunuiup
and Mrs. Deans OF Dover, Del, has
filed On affidavit with Chief of Police
Lees telling of the conduct of the
alleged poisoner before Mrs. Dotkiu
had reason to bolieve that SHE was sus-
pected.
The affidavit states that Miss Liver.
nash's acquaintance with Mrs. Botkin
hated from August 9th, when she went
10 learn whether or not Mrs. Botkin
had any idea as to the sender Of the
poisoned candy. Mrs. Botkin's renly
was that sho could not imagine who
had sent the package. She said abe
did not believe it had been cent with
criminal intsnt, for Mrs. Dunning. as
Mrs. Botkin knsw rer. had no eneni les.
Mrs. BotKin acknowledged tho friend
ship existing between MIR. Dunuipg
and herself
AT a later Interview Mrs. Botkin was
asked MS tn the alleged Intimacy bo-
tween herself md DunnIng, the
lively" times at 927 Geary street.
and az to the truth of the statement
said 10 have besn made by her that no
reconciliation would ever be effected
between Dunning and herself. Mrs.
lotkin told how and when abe met
Dunning; how she persuaded him to
take room in the same house, ami oil
their being almost constantly together
from that time. She admitted "play-
ing the races" and told how she had
assisted him financially.
Later Miss Livernash told Mrs. Bot
kun that she was under strong sus-
picion of having sent the poisoned
candy to Mrs. Dunning. hIrs. Botkin
became byRterioal and exclaimed:
"Oh, why didn't l let the man die
IIetter to have let the man die and
spared the mother TO her children. ("
This reference 10 "lstting the man
die" Is explained by the fact that she
raya she once saved Dunning from sui.
eide.
She finally Gained herself and de
cidsd to 10 to Stockton. She was &C
companisd by Miss liiyernash. On
That journey she spoke of Mrs. Cor.
haley and Of tbs firm friendship exist
ing betwesn the latter and Mrs. Dun
ming.

most intimate friends the Dunningi
have in San Francisco" aaid she.
She is a friend to the wife. am {

Mrs. Botkin made a statement aboul
poison terminating in candy when sem

that an attempt might have been mad,
to forgs her handwriting In the NUT

Few Words of ADVICE to tho Wheel
Enthusiastic
Philadelphia Times.
or all tho months of the year, Septem-
Der and October are the most delightful
in which to go on wheeling tours. Then
the languor of summer has passed away.
the air Is filled with bracing cr;spness and
the suns rays, while pleasantly warming,
are not overpowering. The small hying
things which bite and sting have vanished
and roads are almost sure to be In prime
condition.
For those who are anticipating a
lengthy trip on the wheel we would
make the suggestion that each morning
after the tour has commenced as early a
start as possible should be made. For
breakfast eat sufficient to appease the ap-
petite, but not an oyerabundance.
Having started, say at $50 or z o'clock,
ride until IL, then rest at least half an
hour before partaking of substantial
luncheon. 1t is positively injurious to
cat when tired, and good "wash-up"
and rest will make the meal twice as re-
freshing and appetizing.
IL possible, rest again from 10 10 30 min
utes after lunch. Such rest will be more
valuable II it can be taken in o reclining
position or with the feet raised on a
chair. II this after-luncheon rest cannot
DO taken, it Is better to cat sparingly, re-
serving the heavy meal until evening.
Strive not to drink much liquids between
meals while riding, but drink literally at
meals, remembering not to drink ice
water when overheated OF much fatigued.
For an all.day ride the secret Of endur-
ance is to start slowly, at the rate of
seven or eight miles an hour. Unknow.
ingly the pace will befound to increase as
the rider gets into the swing, as it were
aud becomes accustomed to being 10 the
saddle. Always allow the machine to do
as much work as possible; that's to say.
use the foot rest at any slope where the
wheel will travel by itself. The use OF
the foot rest or ''coaster,' as it is generally
known, is considered very bad form for
women, and under ordinary circumstances
should never be resorted to, but when
touring the main object is for the rider
to save herself in every possible way. and
| this can be done to an incredible extent
If advantage be taken of every small in
cline,using the brake and travelling slowly
the while. At the end of the day this ac-
emulation of short rests will amount to
much saving of fatigue.

a young and guant'looking fellow with u

replied, "but expected 10 do the funny

censor. "Will you Bolemnly swear that

hostilities between the government of tho

The aspiring humorist choked once OF
