time may either tend to clear the person
most under suspicion in the Adams case
or TO establish the fact that he had an
accomplice, has been discovered by the
police. According TO an admission made
by Captain McClusky to-day, the discov-
cry came about through an inspection of
kutnow powders which the police some
weeks ago admitted were in their hands.
1t was kutnow powder containing
cyanide of mercury that was sent to Bar
net and the handwriting on the Cornish
package and that of the request sent to the
hutnow people asking for a sample of the
powder Is the same, according to William
J. kinsley and David n. Carvalho, the
handwriting experts.
This request asks for a sample of the
powder TO be sent to private letter box
address in this city. Postmaster Vancott
denies that il is postofice letter box, and
1t is believed that the address was pri-
vate letter box in al uptown cigar store.
II Is said that the police have accepted the
theory that two persons were concerned

ciai) The state. in the murder case of
Mrs. John Krebs. on trial for killing her
husbands housekeeper. Mrs. Craig, had
concluded most of its evidence at noon to-

The brother Of John Krenitz to-day tes-
titled that Krebs told him that the mur-
dered woman expected to have John ar
rested for attempted assault in her room.
The hour of departure from the. Krebs
house on the afternoon of the murder was
fixed at a half hour before sundown, in
stead of at dusk. as testified to at the
preliminary by Krebs and the Krenitz
boys. This point was dwelt upon by the
defense to show that the Krenitz boys
would have had time to kill Mrs. Craig

WASHINGTON. JAN. 2l.-tSpecial) The
Washington Star says tonight:
The vacancy in the district judgeship of
Kansas will be filled early next week by
the nomination of William c. Hook, of
Leavenworth. Mr.. Hook is Senator Bakers
law partner. and is one of the best known
members of the Kansas bar. His appoint
ment has been urged by Senator Baker and
Cyrus Leland national committeeman. This
has been enough to secure the plum, all
though there have been dozen other well
backed candidates. Next to Mr.. Hook the
strongest candidate Is said to have been
ex-Judge Horton. Formerly of the supreme
court of Kansas He was backed by Rep
resentative Curtis and by ex-Representa-
tive Calderhead, who win be member of
the next house. Ex-Representative S. R.
Peters, one OF the candidates for the Judge
ship, was at the White House to-day. Mr.
Curtis is one OF the most successful MEM
bers OF the house in his recommendations
at the executive mansion. The president
has the highest opinion of Mr.. Curtis. In
this case, however, Senator Baker had
bent all his energies I'm behalf of Mr.. Hook.
