general surprise of those who have iol-
lowed the Botkin trial and to the entire
dismay of the defendant and her tor
neys, Mrs. Cordelia Botkin was Friday
night found guilty of murder in the first
degree for causing the death of Mrs.
John P. Dunning by sending box of
poisoned candy to her temporary home
iu Dover, De- The condemned mur-
ceress will be spared an ignominious
death on the gallows, however, the jury
that found her guilty imposing also the
penalty of life imprisonment. The ver-
dict was unexpected.
[John r. Dunning formerly resided in Ian
Francisco. When the spanish-American
war broke out he went as newspaper cor
respondent to Cuba. His family moved to
Dover, Del: One evening shortly after,
while entertaining her sister, Mrs. Deane,
and some friends, Mrs. Dunning received
a box which had come by mail. It con-
tanned candy and handkerchief. There
was a note pinned to the handkerchief
reading: For your little daughter" Mrs.
Dunning and her guests ate Of the candy.
Nine persons Immediately became sick.
Mrs. Dunning and Mrs. Deane died. but the
others were saved with difficulty. An in
vestigation followed, and at the trial evil
dence was introduced showing that Mrs.
Botkin had bought the box in San Fran
cisco and that the writing accompanying
the handkerchief was hers. The alleged
motive for the crime was Mrs. Botkin's in
fatuatiOn for Dunning and her belief that
Mrs. Dunning had had him sent to Cuba to
remove him from Mrs. Botkin.]
