DE issued for sometime yet, as the 70.
'poit will also include the period up to
THE end OF June 10 as to have the audi.
|ting period hencetorth to coincide with
the fiscal year of the Levy Court. But
thanks to the report OF State Auditor
Isaac N. Fooks for the year 1901, the
statement of the county finances for
that year MS made by County Treasurer
Horace g. Rettew, can now be given.
Ia striking thing about the statement
bis that the county began the year 1900
with balance OF $50, orr 81. and closed
lit with balance Of SIS, Sol. 81. The
latter amount, together with the tax
returns, was left to run the county
until tho end of this month, Indicating
that 1t is littls wonder that court
officers and county employees have had
to 60 without money for months.
The report also shows that S25, 435. 95
was expended in Wilmington hundred,
land SIG. 1885, 90 In the Fourth district.
For Seventh street bridge, S12, 900 was
Iexpended for Marshallton bridge,

SIS 3l5. The last item does not include
the cost OF repairing the road for which
the contract was granted some weeks
ago. In the course Of the year, S44, 600

Cook SRturdaydeoIdsd to continue until
July 18th the case of Mrs. Cordelia
Botkin, charged with the killing Of
Mrs. Dunning of Dover, Del, by send
ing through the mail poisoned con-
feotions
Mrs. Botkin's counsel pleaded that
the papers for carrying the case TO the
highest court on the question of juris-
dierion are not yet ready, her chief,
counsel being incapacitated by an
accident on Monday last. He said the
defence would FIRST petition the
Superior C5urt for defendants release
on writ Of habeas corpus. which
would probably be denied. The appeal
would thsn be taken to the Supreme
Court and from there the Federal
Courts.
District Attorney Byington opposed
the motion for continuance He CON
tended that the defence had been given
ample time to prepare all the papers
needed to appeal to the Federal Courts
and he thought the case should be
peremptorily set for trial. Mrs. Botkin
was in court, attended by her sister.
