Mrs. BOtkin'S Luck
Comes From Greed.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2l.-It looks as
though Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, who mur.
dered Mrs. Dunning and Mrs. 'Deane OF
Dover. Del, might escape punishment
because of exorbitant fees demanded by
Delaware medical experts Tor their at
tendance at the woman's second trial.
Mrs. Botkin's case will come up next
Tuesday, and it was expected all former
witnesses would attend, as all were
friends OF the murdered women and
warmly interested in the punishment
OF the woman who committed this
crime.
But letters have been received by the
district attorney showing that DIR. Wolf,
state chemist OF Delaware, wants $1,000
for his fee and 90 day and expenses,
and Drs. Downs and Bishop demand
s25 day and all expenses.
These, with the expenses OF half q
dozen other witnesses, will be so heavy
that Judge Cook has refused TO permit
them to be called. Unless the experts
reduce their bills or the State of Della"
ware will share this expense Mrs. Bot
kin win go free.

time came to present them 20 the
Court. 1t was then unusual to have an.
attorney who had tried case In q lower
court to follow 1t here.
The advocates OF this method Of
handling legeal business claimed that
the great familiarity of an attorney
with the methods Of procedure of the
highest court in the land gave him an
advantage as an advocate that could not
be obtained by men only coming here
now and then. 1t was also claimed that
such special attorneys knew various de-
tails concerning decisions oil the court,
and the settled views OF the justices on
various questions constantly coming be.
fore them so that they could better
judge the probable outcome OF q ease.
Now all this has changed and per-
hapa partly because Of the improve
ments in transportation. II 10 now the
rule for lawyers 10 follow their cases
from State courts 10 the Supreme Court
OF the United States, and this change in
practice is partly responsible for the
greatly increased number OF attorneys
who yearly apply for admission TO the
bar of the highest tribunal. This method
gives the attorney who presents the
case the advantage Of his very great
knowledge Of every detail CONCERNING
the interest Of his client. II also III
looked upon as help to the attorney
in his State practice. as the knowledge
be gains here allows him TO more per-
fectlY conduct his cases 10 the lower
