THE WIDOWS TESTIMONY.
The Inquest Into the Richardson
Tragedy, at Savannah,
Mo-, Transferred.
A SESSION At THE RICHARDSON HOME.
Mrs. Richardson Told the story of
the Tragedy as Heretofore ReIat-
ed and Denied Every Important
statement In the Evidence of Bes-
sic Phyllis, the Domestic.

Savannah, Mo-, Jan. In the house
in which Frank w. Richardson was
assassinated his widow told the cor
oner's jury what she saw and heard
on that fatal Christmas eve. Ten
o'clock was the hour set for the re-
sumption of the inquest at the court
house. Long before that hour the
building was crowded by persons
who wanted to see and hear the wom-
an whose lips had been closed since
the tragedy, and who was the only
witness of the crime save the un-
known man who committed IL.
The coroner convened his court and
waited for the arrival of the impor-
tant witness. In a few minutes 1T was
announced to Coroner Berer that Mrs.
Richardson was too i'll to come to the
court house. but that she was anxious
TO tell all she knew. Her counsel, At
torney \. w. brewster, of St. Joseph,
asked that the coroner and his six
jurymen proceed to the Richardson
home and that there the widow would
tell her story.
At 10:4O the jury proceeded to the
Richardson residence, five blocks from
the court house, followed by a vast
crowd of people. When the officers OF
the court arrived at the Richardson
house fully 100 men and women
crowded into the grounds.
Prosecuting Attorney Booher, stand
ing on the front porch, addressed the
people, requesting all to go away, as
only the coroner and those immedi-
ately connected with the hearing and
three Representatives of the after
noon press would be admitted.
please go away now" said Mr..
Booher. "In the name of the Richard
son family and the authorities L re-
quest it,"
The first step of the coroner was to
take the measurements of the hall
and bedroom where the murder oc-
CURED. This occupied some time, and
while it was proceeding Mrs. Richard
son remained in the parlor, under the
care of her physician and relatives.
FINALLY the coroner convened his
court and called upon AIRS. Richard
son to testify. She was permitted to
rehcarse the events of the tragedy in
her own way and was not interrupted
with questions until she finished. She
told her story, much as it has been
printed heretofore, in a straightfor-
ward manner. 1t shed no new light
on the mystery.
Then, in answer TO questions. Mrs.
Richardson denied every important
| statement in the testimony of Bessie
Phyllis, the servant girl, alleging that
she mrs. richardson had frequently
received the visits of men, who stayed
late at night, in the absence of her
husband. The widows testimony
seemed to impress the jury.

The official table Of the election re-
turns OF 1900 and 1896, which is given
here, is official. Where the space is
blank, as is the case sometimes in the
gubernatorial columns, there either
was no election for governor in that
state in 1900. or the vote is yet TO be
officially canyassed by the state legis-
lnturc. From the figures given in the
table IL is shown that in 1900 only
jl,GO7 more votes were cast than in
1896. From this il is evident that
many states had an increased stay-at-
home vote. This was the case princi-
pally in the southern states, where
Mr.. Bryan lost more heavily than in
the other states. Mr.. organs great
est gain was in New York, where
nearly 100000 votes left the republi-
can ranks. This still, however, left
Mckinley a plurality of 143,6Os. Mr..
Bryan's greatest loss was i'm Texas.
where nearly 66,223 votes changed
sides. Mr.. Bryan gained over 1896 in
Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky.
Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hamp-
shire. New Jersey, New York. Rhode

In addition 10 all the southern states,
