The poison mystery still remains one
of the topics of the day, and still Cor
oner Mix has nothing to give out" He
has made his finding, but it has not
been made public, although 1t is in the
hands of State Attorney Williams. Mrs.
Rathbun seems to be the party upon
whom the eyes of the public are CEN
| tered at the present time, but there mas
been no searchlight strong enough to
bring out statement from her that
would tend in any way to substantlate
the statements that she had confessed
Judge l.. N. Blydenburgh, who has been
retained as counsel for her, was busy
all day yesterday looking up the evil
dence in the case of his client, ana
when sought at his office he was not to
be found.
1t is expected that to-day a bench
warrant will be issued by Judge Thay-
er, who will sit on the bench In the
criminal side. This has been brought
about by the action of Coroner Mix be-
cause he issued a coroners warrant for
Mrs. Rathbun and Hart--a warrant up
on which they are held at present. This
warrant is void twenty-four hours after
the coroner files his finding, and 1t has
been assumed that he would not pub
licly announce the finding until to-day
that he might have an opportunity to
procure the bench warrant.
Coroner Mix had nothing to say to
the reporters last night, and as far as
could be learned there We're no new de-
velopments in the case, and there was
was no possibility of there being any
until the state had presented an outline
of it's case to the attorneys for the de-
fense that they may know what course
to pursue
AS matter of fact Judge Blyden-
burgh said last night that all he knows
is that man died of poisoning but how
that poison was administered he could
not say. Further than that he would
say nothing, as he had been told moth
Ing, and he was in no position to dis
close any information impaired to him
by his client.
Judge Blydenburgh however, is con-
WINGED of the innocense of his client
and while he does not commit himself
in any way he seems to be confident of
the ultimate release of Mrs. Rathbun.

TESTIB ULE CARS ORDERED.
Boston Elevated Must Protect Motor
men on street Cars,

Boston, Jan. 1.-The railroad commits
sioners this afternoon issued an order
compelling the Boston Elevated Rail
way company to equip all street cars
in Boston with vestibules. The order
provides that the road shall have cars
vestibuled on two lines of the system
by December l next, but the company
is given four years in which to equip
all its cars in that manner
The order Is the outcome of an act Of
the legislature of last year, which pro-
vided that all street railways in the
state should protect their motormen in
this manner, the act, however, left the
question Of vestibules on street cars to
the railroad commissioners. The board,
therefore, gave a number of hearings
in the matter at which the company
was represented by counsel and a Wig
orous defense was offered.
