ing the jury why he believed Molineux

ing the address on the poison package
wrapper. Assistant District Attorney
Osborne recalled him to the stand to-
day and he took up his testimony
where he left of last week.
MIR. Tyrrell laid particular stress
upon the similarity he found in the
disputed writings. and in the writing
known to have been made by Molin-
eux before there was any suspicion
of him as being concerned in the death
of Mrs. Adams.

drink from the same glass.

borne will close the case for the prose-
cution before adjournment of court to-

event that he denies the motion, the

Counsel for Horn will ask for stay
of execution pending an appeal to the
State Supreme Court, and this will be
granted.
All sorts of reports are circulating
here with reference to the allegations
which may be made by Horns attor-
neys. One report has 1t that counsel
will charge that certain jurymen were
enemies of Horn and boasted that II
they got on the jury they would give
the stock detective the worst of II. An
other report is that counsel will seek
to show that the crime was committed
by Victor Miller, thereby creating a
doubt as to the guilt of the convicted
man.
II may be said. however. that coun-
sci will do everything possible for
their client As Judge Lacey stated. a
hard fight was made and still hard

NOTED WOMAN DIES.
Elizabeth cady Stanton, Aged Woman
Suffrapist and Writer, Passes Away.

New York, Oct. 26-Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, the well-known woman suf-
fragist, died to-day at her home in
West Ninety-fourth street in this city.
Old age was given as the cause OF her
death. She was conscious almost to
the last About week ago Mrs. STAN
ton began to fail rapidly. This be-
came more noticeable last week and
then 1t was known to the family that
her death was only a question Of days
or hours.
Mrs.. Elizabeth Cady Stanton reused
the church membership Of the country
year or two ago by demanding an
expurgated Bible. with all derogatory
references to women left out of the
text. She was called the grand old
woman" of the suffragists. She was
one of the signers of the call for the
first woman suffrage convention which
was held at Seneca Falls. New York,
on July 8, 1848. She was the only
signer of that call who stuck to her
colors throughout the years and never
tagged in the work then begun. al
though she faced storms and hurri-
canes of ridicule and vituperation.
Mrs. Stanton was born Of Puritan
ancestry at Johnstown. New York,
November ~, 1876. Her father was a
distinguished lawyer of the time. AS
a girl she was educated at Mrs. VIII
lard's Seminary at Troy. She was mar
ried in 1910. went abroad, and on her
return took up abolition. No conven-
ton of women suffiragists was COM
plete without Mrs. Stanton, and 1t Is
probable that she did not miss one
since the foundation Of the association
The news Of the death OF Elizabeth
Cady Stanton fell with crushing
weight upon Susan B. Anthony. who
had planned to go to New York on NO
vember 18th to assist the venerable
advocate of woman's suffrage In the

birthday

Bill" Ends His Life at Sheridan.

Sheridan, Wyo.. Oct. 27.-H. s. Boal.
son-in-law of Col. w. +. Cody ("Buffa-
10 Bill') and one of the most prominent
stockmen In northern Wyoming, COM
mitted suicide in his apartment at the
Sheridan Inn between the hours OF II
o'clock n. m. and 3 o'clock p. m, to-
day.
Mr.. Boal had just returned from the
Chicago market, where he had accom-
panied a trainload of cattle last week.
In the early forenoon OF to-day he min
gled with the guests Of the hotel and his
subsequent absence was passed unIo-
ticed. About 3 O'Clock in the afternoon
Manager Morgan had occasion to enter
the room occupied by Mr.. Boal and
found the latter lying on the bed with
sponge and cloth saturated with chic.
roform covering the nose and mouth.
Mr.. Morgan telephoned for DIR. Newell.
who arrived few minutes later. but
found that life was extinct.
Mr.. Boal came to Wyoming from
Chicago in 1894 and has been promi-
nent cattleman of this section and east
ern Montana for a number Of years He
was married November IS, 1888. TO
Miss Arta, Oldest daughter of Col. w.
F. Cody. who. together with their two
children, Clara and Cody, survive him.
Mrs. Boal and the children are In Kan
sas City. where the latter are attend
ing school. Boal was about forty years
Of age
Before ending his earthly career Mr.
Boal indited three letters. one to his
wife. one to Hon. II. G. Alger and one
to Howard French. proprietor Of the
Sheridan and his very firm personal
friend. Those TO Mrs. Boal and to Mr.
Alger have not yet been opened. The
one addressed to Mr.. French reads as
follows:
Friend Howard: Excuse this trouble
am about to make In your house. but
will have to make use of your hospi-
tality in this way for the last time.
and would rather be close to friends in
a thing of this sort than among strang-
ers
The cofSner has announced that In
his opinion an inquest is unnecessary.
and none will be held. The body will
be shipped to Chicago for interment.
Mr.. Boal was prominent member Of
the Elks' lodge No. 20 and under the
auspices Of that organization the fu-
neral arrangements will be made.

WlI.on.RalIex puellna Case.

Cripple Creek. Colo, Oct. ?G.-Al-
though the jury in the duel case where
in ]. w. Wilson was hot and killed by
W. H. Bailey last Monday night has
adjourned until next Thursday. inter-
est has by no means subsidized. From
the autopsy OF Doctors w. II. Baker
and C. N. Murray the fact was re-
vealed that Wilson had been killed by
a bullet that had entered beneath the
right arm. passing through the body.
puncturing the lungs and heart. 1t is
believed that Wilson was shot when he
raised his arm to fire. From this II is
claimed that Bailey must have taken
unfair advantage. By reason Of the
reticence of the doctors who performed
the autopsy 1t is believed that a differ
ent caliber bullet caused his death
than the one with which II is supposed
Bailey did the shooting with. There
are many different theories being di-
vulged from alleged talks with mem-
bers OF the. coroner's jury. Some Of
tho members say that the evideVcc
shows a prelarranged duel. Some shy
that there is woman at the bottom Of
II. Others say that II was the result
Of n slander by Bailey Of a friend OF
Wilson, but as far as can be learned
authoritatively none of the Jurors have
made any statement. Early to-day II
was learned that James Waldrip. who
made the statement that he heard Will
son on the evening of the shooting ask
a man named William Dobson for n
scabbard In which to put his revolver
as he was going to fight. will be sum-
moned before the jury next Thursday
when II reconvenes. II IL further
claimed that young Waldrip has other
evidence to offer. II is also asserted
that many other witnesses are being
summoned and that when their EVIL
dence has been adduced very differ
ent phase of the motive for the duel
will be presented.

COLUMBIA DECLINES TAe BID.
Wants United States to Raise Her
Cash Offer Before Taking
a Over Canal.

Washington, Oct. 27.-The long ex-
pected response Of the Colombian gov
ernment to the. proposition made by
the State Department for the negotia-
tion of canal treaty on the lines Of
the Spooner act has reached Washing
ton and was presented to the State De-
partment to-day. 1t is difflcult to
learn the exact nature OF this com.
munlcation. but It is known that 1t is
not altogether an unqualified accept
ance of the State Departments prop
ositions.
1t Is. however. friendly and digni-
fed In tone and does not close the me-
gotiations by any means. though 1t un.
Questionably sets back the date OF
final agreement by opening up new
topics for argument.
For one thing. the Colombian gov
ernment is now entirely dissatisfied
with the small amount of the payment
to be made to 1t by the United States
under the terms Of the protocol, which
1t is proposed to use as the basis Tor
the treaty. This sum Is $7,000,000.
Colombia wants at least $10.000.000.
Moreover, the original proposal
looked to wait for fourteen years be-
fore beginning the payment Of the an.
nual rental, the amount of which was
to be then fixed by mutual agreement.
Colombia now asks the United States
to agree at once on lump yearly pay
ment Of 100000, which will largely
increase the immediate cost Of the en-.
terprise.
The Colombian government clings to
tts contention that II has no cOnstitu-
tional authority to ALLEVIATE any Co
lombian territory and reiterates that
the best 1t can do to meet the Ian
guage of the Spooner act, which looks
to perpetual control by the United
States over the canal strip. is to make
100-year lease, with distinct stip-
ulation that the same shall be renew
able by the United States at the expi-
ration Of the first century.
One obstacle which 1t Is believed
will interfere somewhat with the i'm
mediate resumption Of negotiations Of
the treaty is the feeling aroused In
Colombia by the actions of American
naval officers during the revolutionary
movements there. These are declared
to have been bitterly resented In Bo-
gotta. where 1t was felt the American
of1cers had exceeded their authority
in interfering with the transportation
of Colombian soldiers across the 18th.
mus railroad. right the Colombian
officials have asserted is guaranteed
them by treaty. The question at issue
touches the question of sovereignty
and has an important bearing on the
pending subject.
