everything would be ready at an ad-
journed term. The trial of Mrs. Bot
kin promises to cost far up into the
thousands, and to be the most expen-
sive trial ever held in the state.
Quite a number Of witnesses must
be brought on from California, and ex-
perts in handwriting will have to be
engaged. The celebrated David N. Car
valho, Of Now York, is to be one OF
the experts.
When asked If there was any likeli-
hood that woman would ever be
hanged in this state, the attorney-gen-
eral replied:
"Yes, certainly, if she should be con-
victed of murder"
Mr.. White declared that all that was
necessary now was to await the arrival
Of Detective Mcvey in San Francisco.
There viii be no more arrests - said
the general, "and no other
women are under suspicion.
There was no one connected with
this crime other than Mrs. Botlkin. She
alone planned the heinous deed and
carried It out. We have not suspected
anyone else since the first"

crime, and many OF the towns peopli

to get Mrs. Bothn into the town unde

off the train at some other point an
driven in a wagon to this place.
