Dunning has sailed for Manila, but be-
fore he left he made a determined ef-
fort to secure an interview with Mrs.
Cordella BOtkin. the murderess of his
wife, now confined in the Branch County
JAIL
Whatever motive prompted Dunning is
not known, but he sent pleading note
to the condemned murderess, asking for
an interview, to which she replied in
highly sensational terms. His note read
as follows:
My Dear Ida: Please forgive me for
making this request. must see you. I
know as well as you that you have been
wronged-deeply wronged, and my suf-
fering has been as great as yours. I sail
to so to the front this evening. 1 ask

Mrs. BotlSin refused the request and
posted the note back to him by a mes.
senger boy with a verbal answer, that
he could choose his weapons, for the only
way She could ever meet him would be
on the open field; and that she hoped she
might never again gaze on his face while

While she remained i'm pawn for the rea
criminal in the deadly tragedy. She fur
ther assured him Of her earnestness 10y
saying that in breaking the seal Of tn,

fingers had burned.
In speaking of Dunning's attempt 1,
see her, Mrs. Botkin says the only rea
son she can assign is that his conscience
is troubling him, and adds that she want
no admissions nor confession from sucl
one as he is. She further states thn
the wording Of the note reminds her foi
chilly OF the pitiful letters Dunning usei
70 send her when he wanted her to Civ
him enough money to buy a meal or be,
